I'm curious to see how our lineup shapes up. Is Dudley going to start? Are we going to give Brown minutes over Wes Johnson? Is Frye going to have his normaly 20-25 minutes available to him when he returns or will Morris have secured his role there? Will J.O. give us anything?

Personally, I can't stand 'Blackhole' Brown. He didn't really provide any electrifying dunks last year like he did in LA. He hasn't seen a shot he didn't like and rarely if ever passes it. Sure he got hot towards the end of the year. That was in the starting lineup(with Nash) and quite frankly I'm not ready to put any faith in him consistently doing that.

If we are looking to win games(which is seems like we are) then Dragic, Dudley, Beasly, Scola and Gortat is the right lineup. If we start to falter and want to cash it in I like Dragic, Johnson, Beasley, Morris, Gortat with Marshall and Dragic getting time together in the backcourt.

I like our mix of youth, I just wish we would completely commit. I like Gortat... a lot. His contract is great and he is still young(ish). But he has a good amount of value because of his contract/skills and should be traded IMO. And once Scola can be, we should look to move him as well. Go all in on the youth movement.

This team will be in my top 15 league pass teams.

This team will be either surprisingly good or shockingly disappointing.

^Yep. Seems to be consenus.



Gortat's not going anywhere at least now and makes no sense with no young prospect behind him.

Scola can't be traded for a yr.


Get used to never going all in youth. Suns have never done it on purpose. Won't start to. Had their chances.

Well, We're signing Harden next off season. OKC can't keep him and we're going to offer him max. If Beasley or Johnson pan out, then we have a decent 5, but still won't be able to compete with LA, OKC or MIA

Isn't Tyreke on the market next summer as well?

Dragic, Harden, Beasley, Morris, Gortat. Interesting.


We don't need to have a young prospect behind Gortat to trade him. I think we could get a decent prospect/pick in return for Gortat. Doesn't make sense to stay mediocre. Suns can't ever seem to fully commit to one path

Dissonance

Pass on Tyereke.


Nah, I heard all summer teams are wary about Gortat w/o Nash and Suns wanted to keep him for now.



Suns wanted to have a mix of youth and vets. You can still rebuild that way. Team may have no choice to.
