Dame did have some great chemistry with Nurkic.

Maybe something’s there but I would stay far away from a move like that.


Rather roll with Brook, he's been here so long & has much more value. His defense is so underrated.

Only a guy like Steven Adams could fill that gap, on one end. Though Adams sets a mountain of a screen, I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss Brook splashing bombs.

Will be very interesting to see what Bud can do with that roster assuming this is their shakeup and they want to try to make it work.

I'd guess Ham will probably follow him to Phoenix along with whatever leftovers stayed with Griff like Sidney Dobner.

Bud is a hell of a coach and a system magician, but I have no idea how he makes Booker and KD not bitches and Beal not being made of glass, certainly not to the point where they can compete with Denver, Minnesota or OKC.

I was gonna say I missed brook splashing bombs last years but he really did pick it up the second half of the season and I'm the playoffs

This might seem strange coming from me.

But I'm kind of jealous of Grayson, he gets to be reunited with Bud.

I still think Bud is a bit overrated, however he is vastly superior to AG and Doc.

I got what I wished for, and I kind of regret it. Frame this post PP....lol.

The Suns just made the best single move they could towards righting that ship. He'll toss out the chaff role players and get those dudes in a system. He still might not get them past Minny, Denver, OKC, but he'll give those teams a run for their money.

I guess the allure of coaching KD and to a lesser extent Booker is appealing enough but I'm surprised Bud would choose that as his next opportunity. Still think he'd make perfect sense in New Orleans.

Is Willie Green on the hot seat? Seems secure in his job as far as I know.

Weird, how Horst wanted Monty & now Bud essentially succeeds him in Phoenix. Could've literally been a swap of 21 Finals coaches, if not for Monty's lack of interest.

Count me in the camp of not being sure PHX is a good fit for Bud. Ishbia is pretty volatile and overly involved (but at least willing to spend I guess), but worse is that roster. KD and Beal are well on the downward slopes of their careers and not sure they have it anymore to bring home the bacon.

Then again they'll probably throw like 60+ mill at him to do it so it's a no-brainer.

Good for Bud and I’m assuming he’s getting an absolute bag but that team looks like a disaster.

I’ll probably jinx it but Tatum has quietly been awful this postseason. He’s been their 3rd best player by quite a distance on 40/25 fg/3pt splits.

Too bad Bucks aren't healthy to get the crack at making Doris Burke scream & cry over the Celtics being eliminated.
