Nice, so he’s basically a senior advisor. Hope they announce James as gm soon. I wonder what Trevor’s title will be.
Looks like he's getting a Sr. VP of BB Ops title. I kind of expect Jones to be given a President of Basketball Ops title and Buckstein is the GM. Jones would basically be the public front man for the front office with Bower as his right hand man and Buck would be one of those seen but not heard GM's doing the actual hands on work with player aquisition.

Yeah, that makes sense...under Jones but Bukstein is GM....works for me. Makes the most sense.

Nice shirt and glasses here for Oubre.

Have to say oubre cracks me up. I dig his style.

Warren is always out of building quick, not too worried? Remember the players only meeting? He had to come back into the arena.

I ain't "worried", since I've been talking about trading TJ for about the last month.

Don't know how much of a discount to his talent we'll have to take based on how obvious it will be to other teams that TJ and PHX want to part ways. I expect there to be substantial market demand, since most teams know what TJ's capable of, but I just don't expect there to be anything very obviously impressive on offer.

Jamal Crawford at 2.4m was everything Dudley at 30m (and 15-20 pounds over weight), Chandler (at 52m) and Ariza (15m) weren't as far as a leader in the locker room. As far as next year, I do not know they get better bringing Jamal back but he was a good guy for sure.

at least the team might have Johnson to show for Knight and Oubre to show for Ariza


Many posts above about Bender improving, what Oubre wants to work on, what Bridges wants to get better at - would hope they all work on them and that Igor is their coach.

For the Suns to improve -that means cap space. Granted, maybe you renounce Oubre and stretch Tyler Johnson - but that seems like bad moves. So, with that, - where are the areas to get cap space: 2019 FRP if not Zion, Josh and TJ. Suns might have to sell low or get what is perceived low value for the bigger goal of improving the roster. Thats how I look at it. And if the Suns can finally get a real PG next to Booker, get a PF - while being able to bring back Tyler, Oubre - I think they have the makings of a much better team.

Doesn’t sound like Josh is going anywhere.

Jamal knows what Tylers best role is :)

Now - if there are not better options at PG, I don't want a Rozier, or Reggie Jackson so role with Tyler - but if the Suns can get a PG and have Tyler off the bench, I think that would be ideal. I do wonder if they try to extend Tyler to low his cap number. Its risky - but is say 24/3 on the open market too much for Tyler, too little. It would take his cap number from 19.4 down to <$11m

Tweet with quotes from TJ. Kind of sounding like Kawhi. But who knows, quiet guy. Probably the Suns best trade chip but also a guy who I think with Tyler and Bridges would make for an excellent bench.

Listening to Burns and Gambo talking Igor. Gambo doesn’t think anything will happen today but still up in air.

Gambo did say good coaches are out there and who did he mention - Kidd

Turned off the radio - no wonder I got blocked by him on twitter I might have told him he was an idiot who never had Suns news

Maybe Warren has some mental health issues he is not ready to open up about.
