Unreal signing. Wonder how KD and Book will go as essentially primary ball handlers and having the ball in their hand less - KD already complained about that last year.

Love the signing, a true floor general.

Allen to 6th man surely…

Now I'm actually pretty excited.

Seriously, how long have I been talking about Tyus Jones? I feel like I've tried to will people into wanting him, the Suns getting him...

Finally!

Really takes the sting out of not taking Kolek. I liked Kolek, but a bigger fan of Tyus. Of course it's likely only one year, but I'll take it!

Juat heard the news fellas! LFGOooooooooooo!

Fills such a MAJOR hole on this roster. Much respect to Jones for taking a sub-market deal to make it happen.

Best part is - no more Point Book nonsense for large stretches. He can get back to what he was doing prior to last year.

I wonder if we didn’t draft Kole’s because we knew tyus was coming?

There was ZERO chance he'd come here without being offered a starting gig.

Would love Beal to come off the bench but don’t see it. Maybe you can take him out at like the 6 minute mark and then he starts the second while booker rests.

His stats don't look like stats of 3.3M player. Like at all. I guess the new luxury tax rules played in Suns favor this time.

I wouldn't doubt Grayson being a huge reason he came here, they are buds. I see he and Grayson coming off the bench together.

Would be a wet dream to get WCJ on the Suns.

That's nearly a fair trade imo considering the needs of each squad.

You guys realize they now have the #1 and #7 leaders in assist to turnover ratio from 2023-2024?

This is gonna calm things down more than you even know. Kudos to JJ and brass they deserve it for nabbing both Jones and Morris.

Defensive issues remain, but there is one sure thing. The team will be a lot more watchable after getting two PGs who take care of the ball.

Damn that's such a huge bailout. Thank god we needed this badly.

Wouldn't mind Beal coming off the bench now. Probably should happen tbh. But we'll see what happens.

There's probably some under the table houses or jet skis being passed around to get him on a min.

I remember watching them have a very cordial conversation after our game in Washington last year and I hoped that we would be able to get him last year. This should be very good.

GOODBYE TURNOVERS

The Big three will start and Grayson will come off the bench with Morris.

Now either make Little part of the rotation or trade him for draft capital or a 4/5.

I have come up with our new theme song. Click on below and enjoy.
