Re: The Official 2025 Offseason Thread Part 3
I don't want to see Allen moved as he's been solid for us and a reliable shooter. If he started, we'd be better for it. As for O'Neale, I'm less sold on him but do appreciate his efforts and especially so last season as he was a lot more settled in. I know one or both will probably go and we'll likely be worse off because of it.
On another note, regarding the draft, I wouldn't mind seeing us pick up Johni Broome if he's still there at 29. Solid player in the post, good finisher and rebounder, and can shoot the three a little.

Solid trade where Suns don't have to give up a pick and get rid of Beal.
I know everyone is going to hate it, but the Suns have a more balanced roster. Both contracts expire a year earlier than Beals contract.

Still want Collins for our 4/ backup small ball 5. I'd even be willing to give them our CLE pick in 27 or 29 to get a deal done.

I am not sure Suns are a fit for Collins. He is an expiring this year where as the players the Suns could trade -- O'Neale or Royce - the math probably doesn't work
Plus Ainge is not taking a longer term contract
And the suns have to stop sending out draft picks personally -
I think they need to accumulate picks

We could have brokered that deal with Barrett and traded back for multiple picks too.

Nah! He's a perfect fit for what we need at the 4 and for the fast break " get out and run" scheme he's planning on implementing. He's a physical athletic rim runner and he can hit the three to space the floor.
All you need to do next is add a versatile center like Vucevic or Lopez to compliment his inside game or Wolf or Raynaud via the draft and we'd be really solid in the frontcourt.

The Suns just don't have the assets to make all these moves and I don't want to give up assets to win 2 more games... but not make the playoffs

Re: The Official 2025 Offseason Thread Part 3
The easiest, smartest and most logical thing to do to rebuild and become competitive faster is to trade Booker.
Banging my head on the table when the answer is right in front of Ishbia’s stupid Michigan apparel he has laying around his mansion. This isn’t rocket science. Trade Booker.

Cedric Coward is the exact opposite of what this team needs right now. This team needs size, PG and leadership. Cedric does not check any of those blocks

Why would the Blazers do this? I think you live in the PDX so you might have more knowledge - but Beal is 53 this year and 57m next year -- it would take more than a FRP
Now, Jrue and Grant for Beal - -I can see that working if the Suns can add a salary

Ainge has his eyes on AJ Dybansta in the next draft. I think he'd be open to taking on money as long as the team gets the best odds at the top pick.

Exactly! Booker is not the player MattyIsh thinks he is - meaning leading a team. He is fine as a Robin but he needs the right team around him

Yeah, I wouldn't draft Coward or Carter Bryant because they look at best 3&D wing players.
We have Dunn and Dillon Brooks. I would draft another SF as a BPA but that isn't the case for any of Coward or Carter Bryant.
