Suns rank Top-10 on both Offense/Defense

Well this is good news. Your thoughts?


This team reminds me of the Warriors of a couple years ago. Not saying Bledsoe will be the next Curry, but in the way this team is set up. We need a Draymond Green though.

SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Debt (8-9 players who deserve minutes) = Check
Big men who can rebound and defend the interior = Check
Multiple players who can create scoring opportunities = Check
Perimeter defense = Check
Smooth ball movement and playmaking = Pending (But has looked better ever since Markieff has been off the court)

Get Batum via FA end of the year. I think he'd be perfect at the 3 but probably would want a max...

I like Warren but he'd still get good mins off the bench

Good work so far. Tyson Chandler is a huge part of the defense getting better.

Hope this continues once we start playing vs better teams.

They have a quality defender at the guard, wing, and big positions. That's McD's doing.

Batum could be the Suns' Iguadala type acquisition that made Warriors elite defensively.

But Bledsoe and Knight needs to continue improving the 3pt shot. A PF who can regularly stretch the defense to the 3pt line still is required.... Cousins can hit the 3pter these days! :-D

I think most of the credit goes to Tyson Chandler. He took that leadership role and ran with it.

Not big positions, position. Kieff isn't a quality defender, not even close. And Tucker is an ok defender, that's it really.
