Hope he plays well enough to increase his value to be traded elsewhere. I'll enjoy having him on the team about as much as I did Horry.

I like Allen. I think he brings something the Suns have been lacking: Swagger. He's definitely a solid get for us but where he'll fit in, be it as a starter or sixth-ish man, will be something to see. I'd rather he start than Okogie, but that's just me.

I've hated GA for many years but I can't deny he's built himself out a solid NBA career. Good shooter, solid defender and not afraid in high stake games and has great proven playoff experience with the Bucks.

I hate Grayson but he's the sort of **** a winning team needs.

He's our Bruce Bowen but I'll never really warm up to his dirty antics.

I’ll punch him in the face whenever I see him walking the streets in AZ. He’s gonna need a bodyguard to protect his weak fragile azz. I ain’t playing no games no more he caused too much shame and agony around the leage. If you had a chance to kill baby Hitler would you not do it?

Lol okay he's not Hitler but a detestable player probably the most hated player in the league if you ask me.

Question is who has the crown. PatBev or GA

The Suns also had lengthy conversations throughout last season with the Bucks regarding Jae Crowder trade frameworks, sources said, as Phoenix personnel conducted due diligence on Grayson Allen, who’s now finally heading to the Suns as part of this mega-deal.

I honestly think he could be a really nice fit for your team, especially because the guard depth you already have will allow him to play the role he should be playing which is like 20 minutes a game off the bench and then not needing him on the court much, if at all, come playoff time.

Can he finish games as the clutch shooter when teams double Booker and Durant.

Small sample size but in the final 5 minutes in clutch time last season he made 50% of 3s.

Durant can step up to take the big wing so we don't need Bates-Diop, we're going to be deadly with him in close games.

Not gonna lie I think of the guys we got in the trade he's the one Im most excited to see. In theory he fits like a glove with the shooting and defense, lots of dirty work even if he is a dirty player. Skill set is a Vogel-type of guy. We were missing someone like Allen without Crowder and Paul. And he's under 30 years old which is always a nice plus. With all three of our stars being shooters its a perfect situation for him.

I agree and I hate that it's Grayson Allen we're talking about

I posted in the general trade speculation threat, but I think Grayson Allen could potentially be our modern day Raja Bell. Does the dirty work, guards the opposing teams best perimeter player, and hits the three. I think he might come out as our starting SF, or even slide Booker to SF and have Allen as SG. I think having him start will give the Suns their best 5-man unit in terms of offensive output (along with EG replacing him in a much more limited sample size).
