celest zephyr
It’s better to not have an anchor
Now they can finally rebuild
Amazing they got off all of the shit deals they sattled themselves with
First wall then Russ then Beal
dim kettle
Not even shocked by the package they got. I think it was a few days before the trade Brian Windhorst of ESPN said something like the package wouldn't be what you expect because that contract was very owner-controlled and teams weren't exactly gonna be over the moon to try and get Beal with that 50 million dollar a year contract.
celest zephyr
Plus with a no trade clause he could choose where he wanted to go
dim kettle
Definitely is a huge risk for the Suns though. That contract for a 3rd man is just playing with fire. The salary cap is growing a bit. But Booker is heading toward the end of his contract. He's likely gonna get a max contract. That means between, Durant, Booker, and now Beal. That would mean they'd be spending over 150+ million+ on 3 players. Yikes.
And that's also not accounting for Ayton's contract of over 30+ million. They're over the luxury tax with 4 players
celest zephyr
They’d be stuck with a bunch of scrubs if they don’t trade ayton
Man oh man they are in cap hell
And all that without having a playmaker
Don’t even have anyone to give the ball to booker or Beal or Kd
versed forge
Suns need to drop ayton asap, he’s overrated as hell
celest zephyr
Oh and they have no wing defenders

He’s a big man that can’t grab a single rebound.

Also I don’t know what the wizards were thinking when they made that trade, only upside i see is the Wizards got rid of Beals contract

Really, it's easy to get caught with the idea that Beal, Booker, and Durant on the same team. But you really need to look at it through the lens of reality. It's not like Beal is an outstanding marksman as a 3-pointer, he's league-average at best. He isn't a great defender. I just don't see how this helps the Suns get over teams like the Nuggets, Warriors, or even the Lakers.
celest zephyr
It doesn’t
Well that’s the goal with dumping his contract
New ownership had to do it in order to really improve the team
Or else they’d be stuck in cap hell until 2027
Now Chris Paul is just an expiring so even if they don’t move him he’ll be off of the books in 2024
Plus he still has some value so he’ll probably get flipped
The issue is it doesn’t improve any of their weaknesses. Beal is just an older slightly worse version of booker
He’s not an amazing finisher at the rim or a good passer
Not like he has good enough off ball movement to create space for other players
dim kettle
I have to imagine if one of those guys gets hurt long term, they're fucked. And I thought teams would get over that mindset by now. You need depth to also work aside your stars.
And here you have the Suns willing to take on 50+ million dollars a year contract for a 3rd man.
I can only respect the Suns that they at least know when you have Durant, the game you're playing is to win a championship. But man, such a very risky move.

celest zephyr
The issue is Beal himself
Not necessarily just the contract
Beal doesn’t fix their team
He doesn’t make their weaknesses better
He only makes them worse. They are even more top heavy, with virtually no cap space to add any meaningful players. Got lucky to even get two bench caliber players thrown into the deal by the wizards

Ayton isn’t worth it

It’s not horrible

No

Idk man they could do worse than ayton
Better than getting another forward
Honestly man they should have just went for depth
smoky fable
I would take Beal over trying to get Van vleet or Gary Vincent
Those were the options
celest zephyr
But then you’d have way more cap space
And wouldn’t be pretty much locked at the second apron

Why on earth would it be a good idea to get another shot creator?
smoky fable
Because they lacked it?
dim kettle
They have to hope it better works in 2023-2024. Because anything after that certainly isn't promising and unlikely. 2023-2024 has to be the year which that of itself is super risky especially for a "super team" because it can take 2 years are so for these teams and the talent to really vibe, really figure out their chemistry together. And you're looking at 2024-2025 when Durant is gonna be age 36. Yikes. Beal will be on the wrong side of his 30s, with recent injury history behind him. Yikes. Good luck with that.

Ah yeah you need more shot creation with two of the best in the business at it

What are we doing with ayton?
KD and Booker have shown to handle ball handling duties
celest zephyr
Then idk get depth. Clearly there are bigger issues
smoky fable
Booker more so
honest umbra
Ball handling abilities and an actual PG are diff I think

What are we doing with ayton?
He’s getting traded for depth

Ball handling abilities and an actual PG are diff I think
Booker can do it
I’m not worried about it

what kinda depth we talking about
smoky fable
7 deep for the suns
honest umbra
I’m def worried, I don’t want my best player focused on that ish
celest zephyr
That still includes getting at least 4 players that are good
While also having virtually zero cap space
honest umbra
KD been on 4 diff super teams and the only one that worked out included two of the greatest shooters ever, a moving center and good bench
celest zephyr
Ignoring that if you have injuries you are completely and utterly fucked

Not afraid of anyone else in the west besides the Nuggets

Except if any one of your even rotation level players get injured you are fucked
honest umbra
Yea but those teams survive in the wilderness from injuries by placing some bandaids of good bench players
honest umbra
No way KD booker and Beal all survive the year without an injury
celest zephyr
And there’s virtually zero chance that dfoesn’t happen over an 82 game season plus the playoffs
smoky fable
Rest days will happen
honest umbra

I don't care that they know the risks. I think most GMs know there are risks with trades like this. But you just see so many people focusing on the names and often forgetting about what it means for the fit and I question if the Suns will even make it to the WCF. Let alone the NBA Finals.

I’m talking 2018 warriors
2019 had injuries
Then
Yeah I know you were mentioning then
honest umbra
Raps, lakers, bucks, warriors, nuggets all had good bench players
celest zephyr
And who won the chip? A deep team
honest umbra
Well 2020 winning cosch is the coach for this team
honest umbra
I think he will be an interesting fit for this team given his defensive identity and he mostly has an offensive arsenal lol
smoky fable
Good luck figuring out a functioning offense with him
The offense isn’t the issue as you said though
Just need him for his defensive set up
celest zephyr
The passing is though lol
Unless you want to just go from booker to kd to Beal dribbling it out in a cycle
And plus offensive rebounding?
Considering your big man is allergic to getting rebounds and is soft
And isn’t a consistent screener or lob threat
Ah yes shooting 50 plus contested jump shots a game
The best offense of all time
Your ability to create shots isn’t an issue
Legit everything else is
smoky fable
Considering your big man is allergic to getting rebounds and is soft
He won’t be there anymore
dim kettle
Forgetting about the Ayton situation and whether he's traded or not. You still gonna be giving Beal 50+ million which will hamstring the Suns' ability to add complimentary pieces around your top 3 guys for less production than he was on a dumpster-fire Wizards team that considered him their established top guy. Good luck.

It really depends on how the relocation happens. If it looks like the owner didn't even try to stay, and pulled something like Kroenke did with the Rams. I would kindly tell them to fuck off and go elsewhere. But if it is because they couldn't get it done. Then who knows

dim kettle
With what defense? With what goaltender?
rustic mountain
I think Skinner is a good goalie
Just young
He had a bad playoffs
But he had a good regular season
Defense is a bit trickier
It depends heavily on Nurse, Ekholm, Bouchard, and Cecei
dim kettle
He could be one. But incase you didn't see it, at this point in his development, he was basically thrown into the wolves.
rustic mountain
He was but I still believe in the kid tbh
I am hopeful for the Oilers
I think it needs tweaks but it could also be Cody Cecei coming back and playing well. I think it takes replacing Kyler Yamamoto
dim kettle
Always amazes me with the Oilers. They always draft pretty well on offense and then you have defense and goaltending where Nurse is your highest paid defenseman. Such a joke
rustic mountain
He is too small
I think Nurse could be great. Idk if he is worth the money rn or anything
But I think he has a good shot at being good
I think there is a lot of pessimistic views on the Oilers and it makes sense but I am thinking they have at least 2 more shots at a cup. I think they can do it
dim kettle
The standard should not be Nurse though. Maybe just maybe the Oilers should grow a pair and do what teams have done in recent time and take a chance on a goaltender in the first 3 rounds.
rustic mountain
Well imo Ekholm is our top D man going into next season
Nurse is one as well
But I think playing more than what 20 games with the Oilers is a brighter spot for Ekholm and the D
Also Nugent Hopkins needs to show up
dim kettle
The young defensemen are like the goaltenders there. The developmental timeline is just not there
rustic mountain
I mean you're not terribly wrong or anything
