Love both players but imo we gotta start giving more minutes to the younger core sooner rather than later. What return would y'all like to see if we decide to trade these two?

If you think we should keep them, please explain your reasoning.

Do you think we'd pair either of these two with the 47th pick to jump into the late 1st round? 🤔

Miles Bridges has always been a player of interest for the suns, but randomly last night Flex posted this.

Clearly he does not just chat lol

PER: Sports Illustrated — Phoenix isn’t done looking at forward upgrades. The Suns are reportedly still in the mix for Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga. No deal is close, but league chatter around Phoenix’s interest hasn’t cooled off.

Kuminga’s averaging 15.7 PPG, 7.3 REB, and 4 AST — with size, athleticism, and flashes of real upside. He’s not a guaranteed star yet, but in the right system, the ceiling’s there.

The question is: Would Phoenix actually pull the trigger and keep developing this new young core?

Thoughts? Is Kuminga the kind of move you want for this roster?

I'll keep tracking this.

The Beal trade set this franchise back and ruined our chance to win with Booker and KD. But we could have avoided this situation if Matt Ishbia, James Jones, and Bartelstien had so been so hell-bent on forming a big 3. Everyone knew how bad the Beal contract was the moment he got it with Washington. 50+ million dollars a year with a no-trade clause!? Yet the front office traded for it, knowing that if something went wrong with Beal or the fit wasn't there, you would be stuck with him. And before anyone says oh why would Beal take that contract? Any player in the league takes that deal if offered to him.

Predictably we got in a situation where it was not working out and there seemed to be a way out of it with the Jimmy Butler situation. There was talk of Jimmy to PHX for months and many of us Suns fans thought it would happen. Throughout the saga, there was a lot of hate and blame towards Beal because of his contract. He is not the reason though we are stuck with him. He did not owe Phoenix anything and should not have to move his family if he did not want to. Also, the reason we could not get a deal done with Jimmy was that no team wanted Beal and his contract.

Some of you Suns fans act so entitled when it comes to Beal and his NTC. "He is ruining the franchise if he does not waive it" "Fuck Beal because he only cares about himself". Beal has been a professional with the Suns taking the bench role seriously and while his on-court performance has been lackluster he at least seems like a great teammate. It would be one thing if Beal was single and basketball was the only priority in his life. But he has a family and he loves the Phoenix area. Why would he go and move his family away from a stable environment? Moving and trades come with the job but he is in a situation where he has the ability to choose and I don't blame him for choosing. This does not matter though since no team even wanted to take him on and he never got a chance to waive the NTC.

There are no reports about Beal being asked to waive his NTC or anything close to it(if something comes out later I apologize for being wrong). I am sure James Jones and the FO looked for a team that would take Beal's contract for draft capital but there was not a team dumb enough to do so. The NTC is not the reason why Jimmy is not in PHX. It's the 50+ million dollar deal for an above-average SG.

We are in our current situation because the FO has fumbled the chance to build a complete team around Booker and Durant. I believe the duo could have worked, but Ishbia thought throwing money at everything would equal success.

If this source is bogus lmk. ​

As currently constructed if healthy we are definitely a top 6 seed in the West. Seeing Brooks and Gillespie taking a step offensively makes Green expendable. Would a Green, Royce, Richards package for AD take our team to the next level defensively? If AD is healthy it gives the Suns a 25/12 scorer and defensive beast to pair with Brooks. Or do we wait it out and see what it looks like with Green and Book out there together?

Gillespie / Book / Brooks / AD / Williams
