Suns got the No 3 and No 7 pick in the draft! from 2015

Looks like our backup PG and backup C spot is filled now. Time to kick our feet up and relax 8-)

Mudiay play for a team named the Quesadillas? I feel like Valley Suns comes up short. :cry:

Okafor was once considered a bright rising star from the international class in which he shares with the likes of Karl Towns and Nikola Jokić. Mudiay was once praised by Jason Kidd comparing him to himself.

Time flies :lol:

Mudiay had some good playoff games with the Knicks then he kind of flamed out.

He would have been a decent PG if he could learn to shoot jumpers better.

Edit: My mistake I see he didn't make the playoffs in NY, I had the impression it was the playoffs for some reason.

Is there really a better prerequisite though for our owner to excitedly prioritize above " this guy plays/ played for Michigan St/ Michigan" so we gotta sign him right now!!! Actual talent, skill, success be damned.

And Jones' perspectives of as long as he's a high IQ unathletic, soft natured shooting wing/ underachiever!!! Sign him now!! Just as long as they're not young and athletic based prospects! Let's roll with them. :lol:

No way are Mavs trading Irving for Beal after they made the NBA Finals. Not a chance. Only a slight chance if Irving forces his way out which I don't see happening.


Even if Kyrie forced his way out, Beal isnt an avenue they would accept.

The only people who think Beal is good or has positive trade value is 2-3 fans on this forum. And none of the 2-3 fans are GMs of any other NBA team, so no, nobody would trade for Beal.

Even if it was legal and possible, and Ishbia offered another team like 5% stake in the Suns to take on Bradley Beal’s contract, no other team would do it.

Beal is very good…. Just paid a lot. Even with his limited role, not a lot of guys put up the same numbers he did last year

I think its more scary to think that Beal was "very good" last year, and no one noticed (besides some Beal-stans here) and we still got swept in the 1st round.

Please explain how Beal was not good when he was on the court? We lost to Minnesota because we got outrebounded.

Where did I say he wasn't "good"?

Ok so we got "outrebounded".... just goes to show you we needed another big... not another SG. We have Book and Grayson.

Both these guys finished right behind Book in the ROY voting, above guys like Myles Turner and DLo. Crazy to think they're only 28, it feels like they've been out of the league since forever.

I agree, anyone who says he is bad at basketball is silly and worth not paying attention to for other basketball thoughts. He is just not worth his current contract. THERE IS A DIFFRENCE!!! The man averaged 18 points 4 boards and 5 assists in an unfamiliar and ever changing role with a rollercoaster coaching year apparently. Shot 51 percent from two and 43 percent from 3. To label him trash is kinda crazy. He was even a positive person to the team chemistry, what in the hell are people tripping about? He deserves at least another year of fitting in with hopefully a system that may help..... MAYBE?!?!

The option wasn’t Beal or some awesome wing/big.
We turned a negative contract (CP3) who was becoming unplayable into a borderline all star.
