What do you think about bringing home Facundo Campazzo from Real Madrid to be the second unit point guard?

I think that's the spot we need to improve the most, and an sparky, high IQ player anxious to show his arsenal may be just what we need.

Solid option. Crafty player.

He is similar to JJ Barea, who has been a good backup PG for a ton of years in the league.

But there are a couple of issues about signing Campazzo.

First one is that he has an exit clause of $6M, and the NBA team signing him can only pay an small part of that ($750.000). So his salary needs to be really high for an inexperienced player in the league.

Second one is that Campazzo is already 29 years old. He has past his prime and you never know how good he will be in his late years.

All in all I think the Suns will no be interested in him because there are too much risk, but he would be a solid option IMO because he is really talented.

Before the end of the last trade deadline James Jones wanted to sign Jordan McRae and tried to trade for Luke Kennard. Both are SGs that can create with the ball in their hands, so I think JJ prefer that type of player next to Booker or Rubio.

lol everyone ghosted during the pandemic. Throughout May and June it was mostly GoK and me microwaving the same old hash. Glad that finally, somebody's shooting something other than sh*t. Welcome back, y'all!

I checked this a few days ago....Kerrsed last logged in on June 28th. I also checked his twitter and he last tweeted around then, so do hope he's ok.

This is the most recent Zach Lowe podcast. 25:00 to 35:00 is the coverage on the Suns. Mostly positive stuff and fairly interesting. A good listen for sure

Has his NDA expired or something? Aside from a couple of interviews a while back, I haven't really heard from him but then again, not being in the US, I might not have picked up some local stuff. But most of my Suns related info generally comes from podcasts or here and I haven't heard much from him.

Good to know he's on twitter and hopefully he can give us some more spicy nuggets

Lol McDonough saying he tried using 11-15 for player development from 2016-2018, but I'm pretty sure he meant 1-5 considering we were starting a bunch of 19 year olds.

Sarver's a clown for dumping the NAZ Suns though. If you can't afford to operate a G-League team then you should sell the damn team you cheap ****.

I disagree. Our draft picks need to be playing with the big club and shouldn't be sent to G-League. They need to 1) be around the coaching staff to develop and learn the system, 2) practicing against better players every day, 3) watching games and game film with the team, and 4) be available as subs to play in team scrimmages.

Honestly, Lecque would have been better off spending more time with the main club as opposed to playing 33 G-League games. The G-League never got us anything. Now it really exists for the two-way players (16-17). I would much rather see all Sarver's dollars saved from the G league be directed to the scouting department.

Deandre Ayton is listed as OUT tomorrow vs the Washington Wizards according to ESPN’s site.

Are we being trolled?

I think that's a parody account.
