2023-24 Season Discussion and Speculation 5 - the calm before the storm

Dan not Bobby Hurley has said he does not want to coach any COLLEGE team not named UCON but would like to coach an NBA team in the future.

If we flame out this year and Wishbia fires Frank should he throw the bag at Dan Hurley. I would.

I do not why Kevin Young is considered so highly around the league. I just hope if we do whack Frank we don't just replace hime with Kevin.

I don't think a coaching change would achieve much really. Unless the players have tuned the current coach out...

Otherwise, we're ****.

So many seeds up for grabs. Anyone can still get the 1, 2, 3 seed, 6, 7, 8, 9 10...in the west, and then 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 in the east. I like how they scheduled all east games at the same time then all west games so no teams who are not sure if they have to win or not can rest their players not knowing the outcome of other games.

Would you guys rather play the Lakers or Kings in the 7/8 game? If we end up 7, and if we lose that, the Lakers, Warriors or Kings in the 8/9 game?

I think unless we get to the WCF, and even then, Vogel is on a very very hot seat. There's must so just about this season which happened that shouldn't have. I think with the talent we have, we should not have struggled so mighty this season, we should not have the 4th quarters we have and we should not have an 11th ranked offseason. I don't think anyone expected this season to have gone the way it had and while we had some legitimate injury and unfamiliarity challenges, that inconsistency just never really went away.

The C's have a PRETTY damn cruisey path to the ECF. All the teams which could pose potential issues for them like the Bucks, Sixers and Heat are all on the other side of the bracket. Only x-factor (not really but worth a mention lol) on that side is the Hawks, who still need to make the 8th spot but were 2-2 against the C's this regular season.

I think our side of the bracket isn't too bad either. The teams I'm really worried about like the Thunder, Clippers and Mavs are all on the other side. We do have the defending champs and potentially Lakers on our side though.

LeBron is going to have more free-throws in this single playoff than any other player has had in their post-season career, and the Lakers will beat the Celtics in the finals.

No one in the west is an easy out but I think it'll fell as good for us as we could've hopped for all thongs considered

No, there won't be a Hawks/Bulls level cans out West. All killers but some are less competent killers

Pretty much have no choice. They are super capped or level 2 or whatever its called. They can only bring back their own players - so a guy like Royce O'Neal might get a bit more from the Suns than the open market as they have to pay him.

$17.5M per year with a player option on the last year. Nice value for the Suns and a fair rise for Grayson.

Regarding Contract:
With the Grayson contract, We have our starting 5 locked up for next year.
What bench players do you think will be with us next year?

Can't wait. 2-3 years from now we will have a bunch of overbloated non-tradeable contracts.

Josh Okogie, Damion Lee and Drew Eubanks are under contract with player options.

Edit: And Eric Gordon.

Good signing but would’ve liked it to be a fully guaranteed contract with no player options even if it would’ve meant a slightly higher annual raise.

At the end of the day, we got Grayson Allen for about $24 million less than what Nets paid Cam Johnson. I consider both to be very similar players despite playing different positions. Allen is more durable too albeit 1 year older.

Gambo

Grayson Allen took less to remain in Phoenix and play for the Suns. He was looking at four years for $80-$85 million in the open market and took the same years at $70 million to stay here.
