Game 43: Phoenix Suns (21-21) @ Brooklyn Nets (14-30) | Jan 22 | 5:30PM

[ArksNetsSince99]

To be honest with you our team might be .500 but I’ve barely watched 3-4 full games this season. Our team is beyond boring and we need a good shake up. I hope Brooklyn gets the right players with their plenty of first round picks and becomes a playoff team again. Would love for Nets/Knicks rivalry. Cheers!

Thank You

So from the post above I kind of had a feeling you not pro possible Jimmy for Beal deal ?

But what else Suns can do ?

1 trade for Jimmy and hope that’s the recipe to become contender

2 you should blow it up as long as Durant and Book still have value trade them for nice picks returns and right about when Beal expire start from scratch

Is there any other option that I’m missing ?

There's a third option because I don't see Ishbia having the appetite to blow it up completely.

3. Trade KD to recoup more draft capital/expiring contracts.

Try and clean up the books where possible (eg move Beal and Nurk) and reload around Book. We've already traded 3 picks back from a distant future 1st so these more short/medium term picks could allow us to bring in young talent again on top of the swaps we still have.

You seem to like an idea to reload around Booker , I don’t know I have mixed feelings about this , not saying you’re wrong but reset takes at least 3-4 seasons with young talent

If you talking about quick reload there is no one on the market that I see as worthy the headache

It's just trying to clean the books where possible while bringing whatever assets we can and staying competitive because we don't own our picks so bottoming out makes no sense for the team. I also don't see the Suns parting ways with Book so to me, it's not worth thinking about.

Just ended watching the game, good to have an easy one from time to time.

KD was fantastic in 3 quarters and Bud could rest him on the 4th. Book 32 points.

Richards with some bad TOs but his presence and rebounding helped us big time. 15 boards and 8 points.

It was a must W and we did our job and with the luxury of "resting" Beal and Nurkic. To the next one.

Surprising how bad we are on rebounds. We got 15 from Nick Rich and 8 from KD but still go outrebounded by 4 boards, by the 2nd worst rebounding team in the league. They managed to grab 20 offensive boards to our 11.

I know its blasphemy to say but Suns miss Nurkic here.

On the rebounding front, absolutely
