Suns Offseason Thread (Now Collecting Unwanted Vets, Youth and Return of the Dragon)

[Dissonance]

Yeah, I don't know if they know what they have in him. Starter or backup.


I am glad they chose a path. Youth. Looking at guys like Gordon, Beasley, Mayo, Dragic, etc.


Ray Allen rumor was false.

Yeah.. I think the Ray Allen thing was on the off chance that KG left Boston and didnt retire. That would have been the only way I accepted keeping a non-youth movement. That also assumes that they would have had a plan in place.. which is unlikely.

I want youth but I hope we don't get Beasley. I can't route for him. I really dislike the guy.

[Dissonance]

Yep. I was secretly hoping for KG/Allen move cuz I was scared of what they might do else wise. Would've been a reason for Nash to stay.



I don't like Bease as much when he came into the league but still like him and I'd welcome him. Still young and got time to put something together. It's time the team makes a gamble. He could be much worse off the court or personality wise IMO and they can't always find squeeky clean guys like they have. Also, maybe prepare yourself cuz it sounds like a real possibility with their meeting today and selling him hard as part of the new face of Suns franchise youth movement. Maybe getting him with other parts will soften it for ya haha.



I just want to see an interesting, or fun team once again. Last 2 yrs, I could barely watch.

I am very excited on watching a team that I can see grow/develop over time again.

Yeah.. I dont mind players with shaky off the court issues all that much. In fact, I am hoping for some more attitude from somebody.. I just have never been a fan of his game in the NBA... But Beasley was the 2nd pick for a reason, so we will see. For god sakes we better not introduce him as a 6'10 player. That fool is 6-7 and plays like he is a 6'4 combo guard lol.

But if we get him for cheap, which it sounds like he will be a cheap player WHILE bringing in Gordon, I'm down.

[Wade County]

Beasley is gonna be a good get for some team. He'd be a nice fit in Phoenix or Toronto I think.

[Dissonance]

Some updates. Sounds like Beasley thing is getting closer. 2nd meeting.

Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard

Suns having dinner with Eric Gordon right now. Phx is considering offering him max deal (4 years, $58 million), sources say

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro

Unrestricted free agent Michael Beasley will visit the #Suns in Phoenix on Wednesday

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro

A former #Suns favorite, Goran Dragic, returns to Phoenix tomorrow as a free agent. Houston is the leader but other teams are giving chase.

[Wade County]

I'm surprised the Suns are interested in Beasley. I thought Colangelo wasn't a big fan?

Regardless, I think he's a great fit in Phoenix. It was one of the destinations I thought would be perfect for him and his skillset. Good, uptempo pace too. Apparently Detroit are interested also....that's not a place i'd want to be sign right now, but hey, Mike could probably put up numbers there too I guess.

Would be great if Nash resigned and could turn Beas into a beast.

[Dissonance]

Yeah, neither Colangelo has been part of team's decisions since 2004-2005. Sarver's letting GM Blanks and VP Babby run the show now though. Amazingly, hands off per Suns writer Paul Coro. Old brass with Kerr didn't care for Bease when Amare s/t rumors ran about (obviously nothing happened there). I agree, may be the best place for Bease. Allows him the freedom but I trust Gentry - I think if someone can challenge him in a good way. it's him. Risk/reward. It also is in a place that is showing they want him which never seemed like case in Miami front office or Minnesota that never had a plan til recently and were stacked at SF. .





Suns are offering Dragic between 8-9M to return. May be his best offer.

[Dissonance]

Raps sign Fields to offer sheet to essentially block a Nash to NY S/T.


I don't care either way. It's funny.

[Dissonance]

[chilltown]

I want a picture with him, Beasley, and Gordon. Our new PG, SG, and SF.

[Dissonance]

Babby: Hey, Dragic - LOL OOPS

It's possible.


EG is tough one though. I wouldn't mind Mayo either instead. Good thing is if he chooses to sign and tells em not to match. I have heard some reports he didn't like NO much, wants to choose his place possibly and a rebuild won't phase him. We'll see. First step is offering him.

[Hyperion]

This will be one of the most frustrating rebuilds ever.

[Dissonance]

I'm excited for once.
