Naaaah

 

The suns still aren’t favorites in the West

 

The Suns problem isn’t scoring points it’s stopping them and Paul was one of the few guys who gave a shit on that end

 

They’re gonna have to move Ayton for at least 1-2 pieces that are at least league average on defense and whip Landale out at center for the year.

 

I wonder if this trade could expand to include Ayton and Paul to the Clippers. LA has a lot of decent pieces in the $10-18 million range, but I don't know that they'd want Ayton's massive deal, especially with his final performances this year.

 

any news

 

Beal is a bad contract, Suns are going to be in a very bad place if this doesn't lead to championship this year

 

No, did you hear something?

 

(It wont)

 

did someone say something?

 

Hmm

 

Shams saying he declined Miami, Milwaukee and Sac

local guys (ones usually pretty reputable) are saying Miami wasn’t ever really in on him


I want the JUICE mfs

 

He’s gonna be a clipper lol

 

i know i shit on the heat but, genuinely, this seems like everyone in the heat media being CONVINCED giannis was going there and them ending up with nothing. i really do not see dame leaving, especially to go to a team that’s gonna take the ball out of his hands that much

 

if he genuinely chose phoenix over milwaukee or miami he’s a born loser

 

I also don’t think Dame is moved rn. Portland will probably make an all time bad decision with the third pick and then MAYBE around the deadline he says nah fuck this. Or maybe he’s really just down with being a blazer forever.

I don’t think Miami is gonna wait it out if he does stay for now. Miami has the tools to make a move this summer

 

We will probably have a good idea of Portland’s direction if they trade the 3 pick this week as well

 

Portland fans when they trade Miller/Scoot and Simons for Pascal Siakam

 

I don’t really see how this makes the Suns much better. It obviously doesn’t make them worse, but it doesn’t really address any of the roster and depth issues they have.

 

They're definitely better, Beal is a positive contributor over Chris Paul and Booker will probably slide over to point guard. But it addresses none of the issues they were exposed for in the playoffs.

Probably a better championship chance over Milwaukee and a better fit than Miami, I get the decision from him but its a weird choice for the Suns, again that contract is a ticking time bomb.

 

i think it's a better chance for them to continue to make deep runs in the playoffs but i never will be able to see them making the finals with how that defense is gonna look until they actually do it, denver is still way better
