***The Official Phoenix Suns Thread***

[lee4]

Sup brahs, rumored picks for PHX are C Rudy Gobert and PF Livio Jean-Charles both Europeans, haven't the Suns learned from Emir Preldžičlm, Žarko Čabarkapa and Iakovos Tsakalidis. They really need a SG. PF is not necessary since Scola and the Morris Twins are at that position. We need a C to come off the bench. What do you guys think?

what???

at the five slot?

we need a go to sg. we dont have that. someone who can give us 20+ points a night.

I heard that Gambo said McDonut's big board had Noel, Oladipo and McCollum top 3.

Yup

That's exactly what we need. I don't think Oladipo is the guy though, sometimes he's a huge playmaker and sometimes you don't even know he's on the floor. I think Allen Crabbe can be that guy. Or maybe pick up Michael Carter-Williams and move him to the 2 spot and start him with Dragic.

I heard that Gambo said McDonut's big board had Noel, Oladipo and McCollum top 3.

I think Noel is overrated but that's my opinion and i'm just miscer. Reggie Johnson would be a better fit. But at the same time for the 5th pick there's no need to get a center, we need a SG.

Does anyone know what picks we get in the 2nd round, in total does PHX have 4 picks? I'm confused because of the trades. If there is a need for a PF Alex Oriakhi would be a nice pick up.

Now hopefully they'll sign him and not just let Oriakhi walk. PHX is interested in J.R. Smith and Monte Ellis, i hope they don't get neither and let Johnson walk. They should go after C.J. Leslie and if Jeff Hornacek wants some athleticism to go with Goodwin and Shannon Brown, they should take a look at Brandon Davies who also went undrafted.

Suns fans, you ready for the season?

I'm ready to see my boy Archie Goodwin beast on these *******s that passed on him.
Alex Len looks good in preseason so far, and as long as he remains healthy and avoids any big injuries, he could be a serious weapon for us.

Last, but most definitely not least




HNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG Bledsoe

[*DH*]

Anyone plan on going to any Suns games this year? I wanna watch us beat the breaks off the Spurs but the Lakers is a more easy win, and just as sweet.

Okay maybe not.

[si1ver]

trade Marcin (the Polish Pillow), get rid of Shannon Brown, get rid of Kendall Marshall, get rid of Malcolm Lee's contract

receive top 12 protected first round pick and get Okafor's 14 million dollar expiring contract

We were NEVER ever going to get a pic in the top 10 for Gortat so getting one that's only protected top 12 is great. Brb can't even get a top 10 protected pick but DO get a top 12 protected one. We got rid of Marshall; who Hornacek said was fighting Ish Smith for backup PG duties AND a roster spot (in other words 50/50 we would have cut him anyways). We got rid of Shannon Brown who just would have taken minutes from Goodwin. Plus, just for kicks, we got DC to eat Malcolm Lee's cap hit. Getting Okafor gets rid of all that roster clutter and if he gets healthy before the deadline then he'll become a tradeable piece. Moving Marcin frees up minutes for Len and Plumlee. Plumlee has actually looked pretty good this preseason, like a PF-C version of Tucker, he'll probably start until Frye gets back in shape or Len gets healthy and up to speed. Now Plumlee and Len will have all the minutes they could want.

This trade is awesome not only do we remove roster clutter and get a first round pick but McDonough gets the pick from probably the worst team in the league that needed a center.

^I seriously can't wait to watch us lose this season. Nice to be excited about our team's future again

[BalePlease]

lol at delusional suns fans, you guys got raped i can't believe fans are content with taking a losing season from their team, lakers for life baby! all we do is playoff

[*DH*]

Plumlee lookin joocy as fuk.

[*DH*]

Good win tonight boys. I wish Suns fans were more active ITT though.

[si1ver]

H3LL yeah, great win. Just got back from eating my free chicken tenders (thanks for missing 2 straight free thows Lopez), sh*t was delicious. Don't worry brah, McDonGOAT has us on the right path that's the most important thing. Late game, some of the guys will probably drop by ITT tomorrow.

[*DH*]

Yeah bruh, hopefully Suns fans start coming out now, so that when we're contenders, they won't look like bandwagon *******s.

Also, I wanna see more Archie. He didn't look comfortable out there, but it is his first game and he's barely 19.

[21Classic]

lmao what the **** is this ****?

Were suppose to lose! Why u ball so hard Miles Plumlee?


If this wasnt supposed to be a rebuilding season, Id be psyched. this team has some toughness to it

My initial thoughts too, but I think we'll still be fine considering all the young talent, draft picks, and cap room we'll have moving ahead.

Got to watch some of the game tonight, exciting team. I hope Bledsoe can become consistent with that jump shot

[*DH*]

Too early into the season, but I don't think Suns make the playoffs.

Bledsoe tho...

[lee4]

FIRST PLACE and undefeated!!!

[SteezeFactory]

Have watched most of the first two games so far, so much for tanking we goin 82-0 bros! Gonna be pissed if this team scraps their way to more wins than most were expecting while still missing the playoffs and a top pick. That three by Bledsoe last night was cold blooded. Plumlee has been a big surprise as well.

[Cannonsex]

Bledsoe is gonna ruin your tank guys.

[ninous26]

Bledsoe is gonna ruin your tank guys.

Fuarkkk.

I hope this is something we're all going to see for years to come.

So many great memories with this team. Especially mid 2000's.

I remember the first year we got Nash we were MURDERING teams during the pre season. I knew right away we were gonna pepper the NBA's angus. Also during the regular season I remember we were constantly blowing teams out by 20+..Haven't had that feeling in a while.

What happened to our announcers? I don't live in AZ anymore. Sounds nice hearing Eddie's voice. Is that little guy Tom Leander still announcing for us? Dude was too cheesy sometimes.

[skizz]

You guys and Philly are doing it wrong WTF


Owning this guy in fantasy is pretty nice, if bledsoe keeps all this up he can be a borderline all-star like Monta a couple years ago.

[DannyStylez]

Guise how good is Plumlee? I want someone who's watched the games to give their opinion. will rep

honestly, i'm pretty stoked about his potential. he's super athletic and is demonstrating some serious post-game and bball IQ.


check out this vid from bright side (sorry for the commentary)...



there is more than just average potential here. he has post moves, handling and quickness to face up, and a high motor. REALLY liking that he never saw any playing time before us!!!

LOL. Sorta cringeworthy.

Turn down your volume before playing. My ears nearly got blown out at the beginning.

[*DH*]

Holy overreacting ITT. We're still gonna be a lottery team brahs, stop stressing.

[ninous26]

Holy overreacting ITT. We're still gonna be a lottery team brahs, stop stressing.

I want the most ping pong balls with the PHX suns logo on it. I want the number 1 overall pick. I want 0-82. That is our mission. I know it's extreme but I'd like to see this season fast forward to the end with some solid player progression.

How many of our 1st rounders are going to be protected?

[lee4]

Holy overreacting ITT. We're still gonna be a lottery team brahs, stop stressing.

what are you talking about DH?!?

bledsoe & dragic are the NBA's future backcourt...

hakeem goes to Plumlee for low post advice...

hornecek coaching us to an 82-win season!


No need to be a little rain cloud quite yet. Let's enjoy our bright moments in what will likely be a very entertaining season. We may end up losing a few, but dammit we're going to do it with style.

Yeah, I don't think McDonough is done trading, dude's going to find a way to get rid of Frye and possibly Dragic too.
