Zion vs Tatum is a good one. I didn’t see Tatum becoming a two way stud this soon.

So are the Suns still operating with an understaffed scouting department?

Good that Jones probably doesn't have trade fetish like half this board and knows to build a team you need continuity.

This season sucks. FA is going to be interesting. Going to be harder to get one of the few decent FAs this summer after the last week.

No. We have a scouting department of 2 and it's fully staffed with James Jones and Robert Sarver

Apparently we also employed a chimpanzee who makes draft picks by throwing darts at a board with picture of prospects stapled on it.

Legend has it that he already has a better draft record than Ryan McD.

That's what the front office deserves for getting rid of our gorilla and using an unknown chimpanzee to make our decision.

I liked the idea of maybe bringing back Dragic, which a friend suggested to me the other day. If he'd consider it, I think he'd be a real good fit: would take him back to lead our bench in a heartbeat.

His brother got back to full strength. Maybe Jontay can as well. We need a third string at positions other than PG.

I don't know. Can't find anything on him. I wasn't thinking about him really helping this year but like an early FA signing with no real downside if you have team options.

A chimp that can throw darts and hitting a dart board is pretty damn impressive in and of itself.

I think Jones needs to use the cap space to secure a better bench for next season. Better 2nd string PG, healthier and better Center.
After that we can think about things like Oubre/Gordon swap. But if Booker demands a trade then it will make things more dramatic.

SHAZAM!

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