Big no to Jackson imo. I'd like George Hill or Shabazz Napier.

Why you don't like Jackson as a backup on a low salary?

Personally I think he is the better PG available, but he probably will not sign for less than the BAE.

I don't see him as a good cultural fit for Suns and James Jones. He may be the most talented PG left in the FA but I just don't want him.

Galloway is an another guy i hoped we can sign. Dude is a hell of a shooter and one of the best corner three specialist in the league. JJ keeps collecting shooters.

When the beat reporter says it - probably pretty true. I like the signing - like shooters.

I wonder if these means the end of the road for Elie Okobo

Replacing Jerome, Okobo, Leque, Diallo, and Frank with.... Payne, Galloway, Moore, Crowder, and Smith.

Talk about some upgrades around the margins.

We will miss Baynes and Kelly (and Ricky of course) but this is a much deeper and more talented team across the board than last year.

I just like the signing as its another option. Between Moore and Galloway, maybe Nader, hopefully one of these guys has a good night shooting at a critical juncture of a game and you see it with role players, they get a few buckets in a quarter or 10-12 points in a game. Just a deeper team. Not sure how much load management CP3 will need - but good to have depth. Also with COVID - hard not to think guys might not miss time.

Jones doing a really good job of building depth and spending Sarver's money this offseason

The offence and spacing will be crazy next year. Good luck doubling Booker or try to stop Ayton at the paint. I had some doubts about the off-season but JJ is killing it. I don't want to get too excited but we definitely have a shot at being the best offensive team in the league.

The Suns are now full of role player veterans..

We've not seen that since the Dragic, Bledsoe and Tucker Era lol

Not only are these signings great, but we have pieces in place to trade for a Star if someone becomes disgruntled. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE what we've done in terms of building and filling out our Roster, but we have young talent(that I don't necessarily want to get rid of, but would for the right player), picks (most of them anyway), and vets that might entice a team that's looking to frantically trade a Star that wants out. Man, this is a nice feeling, and we did it all without dismantling our future core.

The Suns have the good young talent: Booker and we hope DA, Cam and Bridges,Saric maybe if Booker is in that group, Smith is a rookie. But the NBA is also about having key veterans to help the young players. CP3, Crowder, Moore and Galloway do that.

Look at the Warriors - again, not saying the Suns next 5-7 years will be like the WArriors from 12-19 but they
moved Eliis and Capt Jack for Bogut
had a Steve Blake at one time who was replaced by Livingston
had the Sign and trade for Iggy a year later

all the while the younger players, Curry Klay, Green, Barnes improved.

Suns are going to shoot A LOT of 3s this season.

McD never appreciated the Suns long time winning culture. He was a dipshat for thinking he could draft a bunch of unproven rookies and expect them to win. I don't ever want to see a poster around here saying we should tank again. That should be a lifetime ban !!!

And that is how you win consistently in this league.

Star Power + veteran role players.

I wonder if we can break the all-time team free throw percentage this year???

Has Baynes' deal been finalized yet? Is a S&T still an option?
