2024-25 Season Discussion and Speculation Part II

[Qwigglez]

It’s not about paying specific players - if this trade goes through - this team is done for 10 years. It’s a bad fit - an older team with no future

Saber, Tragic, doubledees. Etc get this comment through your head what BobbieL wrote. If you get Butler we will struggle for a decade is that what you fkin want? You just want a few good years of butler, KD, Booker to lose in first or second round, correct? How are people this stupid is beyond me.

Ishbia already said he’s resigning KD so butler will have no impact on how long we suck for. I can’t believe there are people not wanting a Beal for Jimmy swap.

Beal for Jimmy straight up I'd be fine with. It's giving up the picks where I draw the line

Man, I wish there was a way to get Ball here as he'd be a perfect low-cost alternative for a PGOTF.

Similar topic but if Ball could get Chicago a 2nd round pick as a $21m expiring, why couldn't Nurk get us that next season as a $19m expiring.

He probably could! This is why it might be best to just hold onto him for the remainder of the season (insurance option) and then use his expiring towards whatever team falls short of expectations and decides to cost as a result of the new CBA. Better to get something than to lose more just to make an inconsequential move.

I may consider trading one of our 1st for JV and Saddiq Bey. I don't think any other team would offer a 1st for that.

Listen to the part around 7:22. Gambo talks about how the Suns are exploring around 20 different options with BOTH bigger and smaller trades to still make more moves to improve the roster. Gambo and Burns also discuss the premises of getting Butler and where this franchise might be headed in the coming years.

Washington has 2nds in this upcoming 25' draft (42,44, and 47). I like Valuncuias, but don't think he has much more if any value than maybe two 2nds so if giving up one of our 1sts to Washington, I'd demand one of their 2nds back in the deal (44 seems fair). Otherwise if giving up a 1st in a Nurkic trade, I'm prioritizing New York and a Nurk/ CLE 26' 1st for Robinson/ Kolek/ Dadiet.

8-2 since Beal benched

Nah! I mean just listen to the video at the top! it's 11 minutes long and has some good perspectives and info.

I still think Atlanta is a good landing spot for Beal. He'd be starting again. Hawks are currently on a 5-game skid, but are still 9th in standings. Trade machine has Capela, Bogdanovic, and Bufkin working for Beal.

Im guessing Beals wife doesnt listen to ArizonaSports

**** soft she wanted fans thrown out

Jimmy now has three strikes. First suspended for 10 games, followed by 3 games and now suspended again for indefinite amount of games. What happens next?

Gets paid 120M by a silly owner.

Kinda OT: Caleb Love half court shot to force OT. I tried not to yell loudly as everyone’s sleeping.

For me even extending Butler would be insane but Ishbia is stupid enough to try and extend both KD and Butler well into their late 30's and possibly beyond.

If LBJ can do it then anyone can do it right?

[sashaturiaf]

Out of all the awful moves the front office has made in the past few years. Not getting Beal to drop his no trade clause as a condition of the original trade is up there as easily one of the worst, if not THE worst

[Puff]

Beal just feels out of place. He has got to be feeling like ****. He was a star now he is an unwanted 6th man.

We have no closer. Book is a joke as a closer. He creates either for himself or KD and the offensive flow is non existent.

Butler could be the closer we need to really improve this team. Yeah, he is old, a pain in the ass and maybe overrated.

We are going to have to watch Beal for 2 more years, I do not think he is going to get any better. We have improved with him coming off the bench.

I hope we somehow acquire Butler, how that will happen, I have no clue. We are going to sign KD to an extension whether we like it or not. I would rather watch Butler for three years than Beal for 2 more years.

I also think the thoughts of getting this suggested load of talent and draft picks for Booker and Durrant are way exaggerated. Besides Ishbia is not going to trade them anyway.

So our new coach cannot find a way to use players effectively that are making a total of $70 Million. Therein lies the problem.

Why did that not come up prior to him being hired?

Of course the guy that hired Bud also traded for Nurk, Beal and KD.

If dancing bear is made available the Suns should be all over it. He's exactly what we need at the backup power forward spot. Basically a taller more athletic PJ Tucker.

[Saberestar]

23W-12L when KD plays.

.657 team.

[sunskerr]

God it would be cathartic to see Beal blow this whole manure pile back into Shltbia and Jones faces. As sad as it is to turn that '31 pick into some nickels it would just be perfect if Beal exposes how shortsighted the two stooges are
