Phoenix Suns 2017-2018 Ongoing Thread

I've never been to a Phonix Suns game! I am born and raised on the island of Oahu in Hawaii and i've never left the islands. I think the UH Men's Basketball games are awesome so I can't imagine how awesome a Phoenix Suns game would be.

You would like it! There is a lot of energy in the arena. The suns usually turn out good crowds even when they are bad.

Watching this Finish Line documentary about Steve Nash and old Suns highlights makes me sad that such a great and humble player like Nash will never win a ring. I wish we could have won just one instead of looking back on all of the missed opportunities.

Wow Tucker got fined 5 grand for flopping last night.

Does anyone know when Bledsoe comes back?

Does anyone know when Bledsoe comes back?

Paul Coro said he'll be back sometime next week.

Someone make a game thread.

Kevin Love has made it clear that he wants out of Minnesota. The Suns need to make a move for him this summer.

Sarver says that he expects to pay big money this summer on free agency. I have to say, I don't really despise him anymore.

I'll believe it when I see it. He lucked out on the McDonough hiring, because he's really saved his ass.

His first 5 seasons as the owner were terrible. He chose $$$ over long term winning. He inherited a great team & thought he could just make money hand-over-fist without putting money back into the team. His very first offseason, he chose to let JJ go rather than pay him. Then he started selling draft picks Like Deng, Rondo, Robinson, Gortat, Sergio Rodriquez, & Rudy Fernández. Then he brought in his buddy Steve Kerr & decided that an aging Shaq was better than paying The Matrix. Trading off Q Richardson as part of the sell-off with Nate. Then he let D' Antoni go after his great run rather than pay him what he earned. Then he traded Goran & draft picks for Brooks. But the one good thing he got right, not paying Amare, he still got flack for it for the first 2 years.

Over the last 2 seasons, he has stepped back and let the team run it's self by hiring competent management. But I think the turnaround for him has been the new CBA. Since then, it has made it easier for mid & small market teams to make money.

I think when Sarver says he is going to spend big money, he means he is going to spend money on resigning our FA(s). Outside of a PF, the only realistic guys I can see the Suns throwing money at are Deng, Parsons, & Hayward. The latter two are RFA, so the Suns would need to offer money that Hou & Utah won't match. Parsons should be a lot cheaper.

 

[Orange602]

Sign and trade for Parsons or Hayward? I don't really think that the Suns have the assets to pull one of those deals off, though. Honestly, the more I look at the roster, the happier I am with it. I wouldn't mind them simply standing pat and continuing to develop their young players. Len, Goodwin, Warren, and Ennis all have tremendous upside, so the future still looks bright.

Now, if they can bring over Lebron or Bosh...well, that's a different story.

I don't really care for Bosh. He's more of a perimeter center then an inside presence. I wouldn't want them to spend a lot to get him.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

If we did a sign and trade with Houston for Parsons we could probably get him on the cheap. A future 1st and 2nd rounder along with some filler would get it done since they're trying to clear up cap space for Bron/Melo.

Hell, I'd be down to send some cash to them along with the picks if we could get it done. Parsons would be such a great fit in Hornacek's offense and would help spread the floor. He would stunt Warren's development a little, but we'd be a lot better team with a Dragic-Bledsoe-Parsons-Kieff-Plumlee lineup.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Also, imagine an Ennis-Green-Warren-Morris-Len-Frye-Goodwin bench unit. Siiick.

One of those guys would have to take a back seat. Probably Morris.

Now there are rumors of the Rockets using Parsons in a deal for Love. Suns can't compete with that.

They do have more picks to offer than Houston.

How about a deal that sends Bledsoe to Houston, Parsons and picks to Minny and Love to Phoenix? I know Houston hates Lin and wants a defensive-minded PG so who knows. haha
