Stein: Suns Are Now In Contention With The Spurs To Sign Aldridge

[symbiotic]

Even if Suns somehow land LMA, they still need to add shooters. Not sure who they can get for the Dragic trade exception and the full MLE

Devin Booker?

Devin Booker?

Dude's 18. I don't think he's gonna be ready for a few years.

i agree we still need more shooting. how badly we need it depends on who goes out if LMA comes to phx.

the starting lineup is OK. knight is a good shooter and tucker can hit the spot up three. bledsoe has midrange and LMA is one of the best shooting 4s int he league. besides booker the bench shooting is lean and will be worse if the morris bros have to go. jon leuer can shoot. maybe green comes back for some portion of the MLE? tj warren can score without space and his off ball movement drags defenders around but if he has even an average midrange shot next year i'll be ecstatic..

so yer right. the fact that james johnson got 15 mpg in the 2015 Finals suggests shooters aren't that easy to find right now.

I was thinking we would re-sign Green as well. Makes a lot of sense. Maybe he'd have a bounce-back year.

i saw someone complain on BSotS that Green grumbled to the media about his PT last year

but from what i remember he looked like a great teammate and was always ready to rock when called on.

i would love to have him back if it's possible.

Going to the Suns is like staying with the Blazers.
Suns are Blazers lite

Gonna laugh so hard when Aldridge signs with the Spurs and Suns fans take back all the praise they had for him, how he was gonna make them a top 4 seed lmao

You must be a fun at parties

That's if he gets invited to any.

Just find it funny when people are all big on a player then he spurns their team and the tune changes to "oh well we didn't want him, too many flaws, etc.

Has that happened though? I feel overall Suns fans are not too surprised that Aldrich ended up with the Spurs, and many are actually satisfied with the effort their front office put into getting Aldrich - even though the Suns lost out in the end that bodes well for the future.

There was a poll on the Suns team board and only about 18% of Suns fans thought they had a better than 50 percent change of landing Aldrich.

Maybe I've missed it but I havent really seen Suns fans do a 180 on their opinion on Aldrich now that he's signed with the Spurs.

What about trading for David Lee?
