I like how some people are voting for the "don't vote" options. Must be Kerrsed waiting for Kidd to pop up on one of those. Or if Gambo has an account.

Looks to me like that is TJ not giving a vote of confidence for Triano, asking for an experienced head coach, asking for someone from the outside, liking the Bud possibility, asking for a wise choice, and potentially stumping for ? Jay Wright (?).

Hmm. Cryptic. But if that is what he meant, I agree with all of it.

Most if not all of those tweets are EASILY linked to J. Cole. He's a big fan and is either quoting song names or song meanings.

You can read into ANYTHING and interpret it ANY WAY you want to fit any sort of agenda.

Some of these guys probably know more about suns players than their families!

TJ is super overrated because he’s one of our only decent players. He’s at best a bench role player on a mid tier team.

Perhaps, but should we luck out and manage to get both, Ayton to pack defenses in, and Trae to stretch defenses out, an old school middie like TJ could really flourish!

It's a HUGE 'IF,' but 'IF' so, Suns would be one of the few teams that could score at all 3 levels!

I know some of you will love that they put the Suns at the top of the list.

I’m intrigued by a Griffin/Ayton frontcourt. Blake can handle the ball in the post and can pass or step out and his the 15ft jumper. Blake’s played with massive centers who were defensive juggernauts but not very skilled offensively. I think it could work.

There are a lot of ways that i can see the Suns spending their money in free agency this summer, but if Jackson and Booker are on the team there is no chance they will spend the money on a on the ball shooting guard who will the ball out of Booker’s and Jackson’s hands.

Depending on the draft, spending the $12m on Barton when you have Knight and Booker may not make sense but I would rather spend 12m on a better basketball player than signing a forward just to sign a forward. I just am not sure how Knight, Booker and Barton would work as a rotation. But I am all for adding talent at whatever position just as long as better thought out than Bledsoe, Dragic and Isiah.

Barton slighted the Suns... May not go well with the players he slighted... Pretty much all except Booker and Warren.

Reason why I want Jaren Jackson Jr at pick 3 or 4... I expect Jackson and Booker to be two ball dominant ball handlers and creators with Warren receiving the scraps from that. Ayton would need to be set up a lot and it would take away from the dynamic ability of both Jackson and Booker... Maybe one of them is fine but both?... So JJJ at least could contribute off catches and spotting up and on the defensive end.

If 76ers dont re-sign Redick (maybe asking for too much)... or even if they do. I see them going for Hezonja and maybe Alex Len. Giving them a REALLY deep WELL balanced team.

C: Embiid / Len
PF: Saric / Ilyasova (re-sign)
SF: Convington / Hezonja
SG: Fultz / Hezonja
PG: Simmons / Fultz

Wow... shooters galore and length.

Suns need to go sign similar players, now if they could get Redick on a 2 year 35 million or something that would great. Then sign Bjelica.... that would great too. Key is to sign players who KNOWS how to play the game and shoot.

Barton only makes sense if he replaces a salary dump (Knight, Chandler, Dudley). If you sign him for part of the $20m in salary space that means the optimal strategy to win 25 extra games is Will Barton with another role player.

he does, but to a good structured team he will be useful as backup to rebound and try to block shots. Also with Simmons... and stretch shooters he would get looks down low

Not really flashy news but Pat Connelly and our international scout Emilio Kovacic were in Athens and İstanbul the last couple days to watch Euroleague playoffs. Of course Doncic played in one of those games.

Would not have been a flattering report.
