Nice vet guard signing, might need another backup at the 1 spot, hell i’d take a chance on lin, rivers wouldn’t be too bad either but probably wants too much.

Bwgood’s gotta be happy af now. I immediately thought of him when I saw we signed Moore lol.

This is a good depth signing to round out the backcourt.

Very nice if they didn't use the BAE. Let's them potentially use it either next week or in season on the buyout market where you can throw a little more at someone.

Good signing with who was left out there. Probably the top player I wanted left

I guess we're probably done now once we sign saric... unless the baynes s&t happens (not likely)

Can Moore play D?

Watch on YouTube

This is like my only memory of watching Moore play even though I know he’s been around the NBA for a while.

Michael Jordan makes dumb decisions but this is probably going a bit too far lol.

Feeling pretty good about this team on paper so far, really can’t wait to see them play

Is he an average defender at least?

Yes, he's a pretty good defender and can really shoot..over 42% from 3 2 of the last 3 years..I think 45% or so 5 years ago, and the other recent year's high 30s. He should be the main backup behind Booker.

Won this trade for sure, even more so now that we know that 2021 pick probably won’t be too high since the heat are contenders

Post #3156 » by **bwgood77** » Sun Nov 22, 2020 9:39 pm

I originally thought he might require close to the MLE..or at least half of it....so to get him at this price is a steal.

I liked him over Augustin just because of the size of DJ with CP3.

If this is a veteran minimum deal - good to keep the BAE.

Very solid 7 days for Jones and crew

Desertfox · Post #3158 » by **Desertfox** » Sun Nov 22, 2020 9:46 pm

How about picking up Noah Vonleh as a backup PF? I wouldn't mind picking up Lin as backup PG either.

No sense in getting rid of Okobo, still young, cheap, and has potential at the PG/SG spot, we need cheap young players with potential.

Post #3159 » by **bwgood77** » Sun Nov 22, 2020 9:48 pm

I'd still probably try for McLaughlin or Napier if that allows us to keep Saric and Okobo.

i love this off season, haven't been this hyped up about the Suns since 2004, seriously. first time in a long while i get the feeling that "the shopping is complete, let's get down to business"
