How does phx get a big? 

Post#1 » by Xman » Sun Jun 22, 2025 7:01 pm

So, phx needs a big. Bad.

Probable outgoing options:
10, 29, Allen 16.8, Green 33.3, CMartin 8.6, RoyceO 10.1.

Green and 10 for Claxton and Clowney?
CMartin and 10 for Kessler and Sensebaugh?
Grayson for Robert Williams?

Options?

They might draft one also, plenty of options to chose from at their range (10, 29)

#10, Green, Richards, G. Allen to Nets for Claxton, Cam J., and #27? Nets would then have 2 top 10 picks and rumored to be interested in moving up in the draft. Also I think Nets could trade Cam Thomas for a big

Not really enough. He is a solid backup.
Pf is also weak.

Besides, they should dump a sg, or two.
Brooks and Dunn are sf.

Suns might draw more next year if they advertise Brooks & Dunn on the marquee.

Capela is reportedly on the move. Seems like there should be something there.

Gafford for Allen makes even more sense for them now.. Powell dumped on third team with either team second round pick?

Still think there’s a Jalen to Dallas deal but no one likes it.

I thought Clint had one more year. Yeah I guess but then PHX is hard capped.

Jalen Green + 10th pick for Walker Kessler and Colin Sexton

Jalen Green + 10th pick+ 29th pick for Jarrett Allen(Jalen Green gets moved to a 3rd team for pieces that fit better for the Cavaliers than Jalen Green)

Jalen Green +10th pick for Nic Claxton + 19th and 36th picks(Jalen Green could get moved to a 3rd team depending what happens to Cam Thomas)

Jalen Green + 10th pick +29th pick for Daniel Gafford + Klay Thompson Lakers 2029 1st round pick)

Jalen Green + Nic Richards + 10th pick + 29th pick for Onyeka Okongwu(Jalen Green rerouted to a 3rd team)

These are just some of the options the Suns could go with. They also could draft a big with the 10th pick as well.

As a rockets fan, hoping they draft a big or get a real old guy like Lopez , porzingis or horford.
Makes that 2027 first better:)

This value of the trade is fine, however the Suns have the assets now to get someone better than Goga Bitadze.

the existence of Nick Richards shouldn't prevent anybody from attempting to acquire a starter or a backup.

The Suns should look at Vucevic for Allen. Maybe Allen rerouted to a 3rd team with value going to CHI?

They reportedly did some background work on Porzingis.

Green to 3rd team, Porzingis to PHX, pieces from 3rd team to BOS could make some sense. PHX chips in value to shed the future money on Green's deal, BOS chips in value to presumably shed some current year salary on the pieces coming back from the 3rd tema. So in the end the 3rd team is getting value for taking on Green's terrible deal.

If you don't want him, my Lakers will take him for a SRP, since the Suns are wanting SRPs lol
