2019 season speculation including trade ideas

[Crives]

Is it me or is is Book setting screens now? .. Baynes affect..

[Crives]

That would be wonderful

Suns first 4 games: 107.1 ORTG, 99.3 DRTG
Suns last 5 games: 113.8 ORTG, 107.3 DRTG

Per NBA Stats

This data worries me. I think we highly depend in our intensity and this shows that we are taking the foot of the pedal.

Really small sample size.

Yeah. That's really just showing who we're playing, I think.

But I'm starting to get worried that we're gonna fall back down to earth without Ayton soon. We need that inside presence.

Book is a bull! he should set monster screens for a guy his size.

And maybe he is learning what EJ always says. Setting a good screen is the best way to get open.

I think Zach Lowe also mentioned this in a recent article. Booker is a dangerous screen setter because no one wants to leave him and so whoever is coming off his screens are getting wide open.

Thou shalt not utter Amare and defense in the same vein, for thou will have been committing the most gravest of sin.

Read on Twitter

For a rookie, 10 games into his NBA career, Cam looks excellent.

He is money from 3, but isn’t totally reliant on it. He moves and cuts very well off the ball.

Think we got a good one here gents.

Why wouldn't we add Amare to this squad?

Seriously. I'm interested. Why not.

We are getting national looks now. On Facebook, Bleacher Report said we are "sizzling" and gave our stats. No.1 in assists and FG%, no.4 in 3pt % and no.5 in scoring.

We could use a Pat Burke type.

I'd rather fill the roster spot with someone that can actually help the team while Ayton is out. Amare already looked washed when he last played in the NBA and that was like three years ago. And no, don't give me this Big 3 bull when even their MVP Joe Johnson got cut before the season started.

There just won't be anyone available unless we want to give a guy like Big Sauce a chance, but not sure of his status and I don't know if he helps defensively, though I love his effort and cheerleading.

What about guys like Kenneth Faried or Amir Johnson?

Kenneth Faried would help for sure. IDK why he hasn't been getting signed lately. Anyone have any information?

He doesn't play any defense and can't shoot. One could argue he hits 3s now because he hit 7 of them last year but there is a reason he was never played, an only played with Houston when they ran out of players and needed anyone. At least Amir Johnson is pretty tough. He's better defensively and isn't much of a shooter either but at least has been shooting a few 3s for the last six years and has a career avg over 33%.

Well that would explain it. I hadn't really put eyes on him since his denver days, where he looked pretty decent as a backup.
The immediate # that comes to mind is 8 mil per for 3 years.

Does anyone take a flyer on a Blake Griffin trade?

Been thinking the last few days who would help the Suns more between Blake Griffin or Kevin Love. Due to injuries and contract, I decided neither.

Griffin surprisingly had a very healthy season last year playing in 75 games while averaging 35 minutes a game. His best season in terms of games played since 2013-14. He's also gotten a lot better shooting the 3 ball, which I never thought would happen for him. I wouldn't be completely opposed to trading for Griffin it all it took was the expiring contract of Tyler Johnson, Saric, and a 1st round pick. We can't afford to trade one of Bridges or Cam Johnson though. I would love Griffin's passing though, because that would give us another capable playmaker and in our starting five. Would be best to limit Griffin to around 30 minutes a game though.

I'd bring Amare back, have him work with Ayton on his aggressiveness, and I'd rather have him playing the majority of Kaminsky's minutes at this point, at least for the next 15 or so games until DA comes back. Then he's relegated to the bench as a mentor, spot minute type guy.
