Upcoming 25 wins and none of our picks

I dont love this deal either but what you're describing was going to be the case regardless

Exactly 25 to 30 win team
So why stretch Beal for win 28-32 games but hurt your future when you might be better


I am going to talk myself into Dame for Beal if the Bucks and Beal say yes. It would solve so many problem s for the Suns

I know many expected more but I think this is about right for a second tier superstar, which is who KD is at this stage of his career. Houston might give us one more of our pick back if we have more leverage but KD only wanted certain destinations. Whatever, I'm sure KD is happy to move on from this trash team according to him, and to the Suns it's time to exit the KD era which is nothing but disappointment.

I think we all are pissed at the original trade for KD, along with the Ayton trade and the Beal trades.

None of us know what we could have got for KD that we turned down. Based on recent feedback the offers were pretty bad. I am not in love with this trade but I will stay positive and hope we can.

1. Trade Bradley Beal using a few of the 2nd rounders we acquired not #10.
2. Green surprises and lives up to being drafted #2
3. Brooks becomes the enforcer that we need.
4. #10 Returns a legit PF/C
5. #29 Brings us a potential PF/C

We pick up someone in Free Agency that can help. We keep Gillespie and Cody Martin and Ott turns out to be a great head coach.

Go Suns

We should have gotten Shepperd also.

We shoud keep Green. Hope he improves shooting and decisionmaking. He's 23. Could learn from Book

I am not against trading Green but Claxton would be underwhelming.

Only 23
very talented
played every game this year and averaged 21 ppg
shot 35% from 3's

There is talent there to build on and that is one thing the Suns need - young talent

Gerald Bourguets article quoted somebody , paraphrasing, that Green and Brooks bring an attitude to the floor and play hard
That would be a welcome sight

I've probably been unnecessarily harsh on my evaluation of Green. Not entirely unwarranted but maybe a bit too harsh considering where we're at in terms of competitiveness (maybe ceiling is a low end playoff team but most likely lotto). Considering we're not probably not a playoff team, his poor postseason performances is likely not going to be a factor. But as you said, he does play hard (even if not the way I want him to play) and playing 77 games a season on average is something I can appreciate and root for. Just wondering if it'll be 77 games of hair pulling haha

I've said it before but I would welcome Dame for Beal. I think Dame is a great locker room leader as he is on the floor and him being out for the whole year kind of solves the issue of not wanting Beal around.

I will bet you $500 suns finish 40 + wins.

You think we'll be 4 wins plus this upcoming season?

I appreciate the positivity. I think on the very high end, we're probably a 40win team. Realistically, probably low-mid 30's (more or less where we were this season). Nothing I've seen, from the hiring of a rookie HC, to a rookie GM to moving on from KD shows me we're taking steps to being a better team. Things would have to go very right for us to be a 40w team imo

Green would be fine if you move on from Beal. And ishbia wants to stretch Beal for monetary reasons. But trading him doesn’t save salary - maybe a little

I doubt the bucks do it but it makes sense getting Lillard. I hope Beal stays strong

[KdoubleDees23]

KD , beal, etc

KD played 62 games
Beal played 53 games

We will go young and hustle and fill in some hard nosed vets

I think Beal costs a first - probably 10 in fact

I agree with the rest

Is this the streets?

You dont have to bet with internet posters. Go put $500 on the Suns in Vegas or some online gambling site.

If it costs #10....and you actually agree to it then your fu ck ing stupid.

There is no reasonable explanation you or anyone can give me that says you should just add a top 10 pick in order to get rid of a dude.

You can't possibly be serious about this? It's insanity.


And we don't need these personal attacks either Slim. Criticise the idea but don't attack another poster. Completely unnecessary

Not Jace Richardson and surely not giving it away to be rid of Beal.

[sunsbum]

I’ll wait to judge come opening day. I doubt the roster looks anything like we have. I don’t think Jalen green is here either.
