Everything 2018 Off Season

[Hotshot]

The article I read on ESPN says that with the trade of Knight, Phoenix is looking for a starting calibre PG before the season begins. Who is left in free agency?

Who needs free agency?!

I suspect they will move Booker to PG. But that's just a guess.

*cough* Delon Wright for Devin Booker *cough*

lol

Suns would probably do that too

I have a feeling Masai's probably working his magic right now with that Blackberry.

I mean, c'mon. Suns looking for a starting-calibre point guard -- Raptors have three. It's a perfect fit.

Lowry-Booker-Kawhi-OG-JV?

..... plz ......

edit: I mean, obviously there will be some important assets going to the Suns, probably Ibaka or Powell or something, maybe they have to include Siakam/OG, but...

..... plz ......

Are we sure Booker is anything better than a great stats, bad team guy? I don't see him dominating and leading the Suns to a championship. I was never that impressed when he basically disgraced himself and got 70 points against the Celtics.

There is no way the Suns trade Booker.

Rueben is just joking around. The Suns just extended him to a max deal. He's not going anywhere.

Exactly how did he disgrace himself?

It was truly shameful. Go back and watch it.

It's the DeMar problem. Can a wing/guard with bad defense lead a team to a championship? If you surround him with the right type of talent you might be able to.

Booker is going to be an all-star. He's still very young and needs to mature. But he's got a lot going on for him offensively. I could see him leading the league in PPG. He's got a really smooth shot, and is quick on the ball. He's also fearless which helps a lot. Confidence is everything.

Look, I get the whole stigma of "grest stats, bad team," but... 70 points in a game is not some easy feat.

Booker dropped 70 on a good Celtics team in 2017 that went to the ECF.
Kobe dropped 81 on a Raptors team that finished 27-55.

If we're looking at the results of a single game shallowly, then lets do that with Kobe's.

Both were impressive, regardless of who/what/when.

Booker is a machine from the perimeter, and I'd have to think he'd be an even better scorer/player in a system, alongside talented players that will only elevate his game. Offensively, it would be incredibly scary to have to guard Lowry/Booker/Kawhi -- hypothetically speaking.

I do agree, that the guy is not a superstar. He's not that type of talent, but he's certainly an all-star calibre player that would thrive in a number 2/3 option on a championship team.

[ReubenJRD]

I have to be fair though, that 70-point game was hilarious LMAO.
