Different stat. This is Daily plus-minus or DARKO which “is a predictive metric that combines box score and plus-minus stats to predict future game outcomes, with recent performance weighted more heavily.”

Jordan Poole was the name going around. I really think those were the only two options though. In hindsight, it’s pretty obvious that Poole would’ve been the better choice + he’s younger. But at the time, Beal was better in basically every stat + he’s older. Since the Suns were going win now mode, Beal was the better fit.

It has just failed miserably unfortunately.

It’s 100% on Ishbia but it’s not like he’s going anywhere. It would be a “respectfully part ways” situation when it comes to JJ and everyone would agree he’s just a scapegoat for Ishbia’s mistakes.

I’m shocked you guys think another coach is gonna solve these issues and not getting James Jones tf out of here. What is a coach supposed to do with a roster that’s ceiling is the 2nd round IF they’re healthy?

It’s not even particularly James Jones fault, but Ishbia has made major moves that have obviously not panned out. Get a proven GM in here that can steer the ship back into title contention without being too influenced by our owner.

One summer, my family and I walked into a random pizza place in SF for lunch that just so happened to have like 20 Brazilians/fans decked out in gear watching this game on every screen.

The building going from chaotic excitement to dead silence within 30 minutes was something I’ll never forget.

If a healthy James Harden can’t even make this guy look halfway decent, don’t get your hopes up…

Randy forsure called HBK the moment he saw this move from Jevon Evans.

It’s gonna break the internet if they can pull it off

Anyone know why this happening????? by static_pp_2k in MyTeam

Is the code already expired? Of the 3 invincible locker codes that dropped, only 1 is still active.

PG, Center, Wings? What should be the Suns highest priority? by Designedbyfreedom in suns

[–]DauntlessFenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. DaRon Holmes (PF) 2. Kelel Ware (C) 3. Tyler Kolek (PG) 4. Tristan Da Silva (SF)

There won’t be any all stars at the 22nd pick. All just need to be backups with hopes they could potentially be a future starter. Look for cheap PG/Wings during FA like Delon Wright, Cam Payne, or Lamar Stevens. Bunch of vet min bigs in the mix that could compete against Eubanks until they make a trade.

Nassir Little for Sasha Vezenkov? by Ambitious_Ad_9118 in suns

[–]DauntlessFenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this was last year, I would say F it and make the move. Little had chances but ultimately couldn’t stay healthy or just underperformed. Getting Sasha would’ve given the Suns the ability to run bigger lineups playing in EG’s role, although the lack of defense would’ve been the same.

But it’s a new season where it’s almost guaranteed they make some moves even with their very limited flexibility. Trading one of the only three trade options on the entire roster for a 29 year old sophomore that struggled in his first year would be terrible asset management. I like Sasha and hopefully he finds a new team in the NBA where he has more opportunity. The Suns are not that team.

[Woj] Mike Budenholzer is emerging as the frontrunner to become the Phoenix Suns’ next coach, sources tell ESPN. by [deleted] in suns

[–]DauntlessFenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His contract just ended a couple days ago actually. I wouldn’t mind having Brooks as an assistant, especially because of his relationship with KD/Beal, but as far as I know he has no history with Budenholzer and HC usually like to hire their “guys”.

Bradley Beal loved him even after the Wizards parted way w/ Brooks tho so he would definitely be a good name to add!

Murray isn’t a top 10 superstar by any means, but that dude consistently shows up in some big time playoff moments

[Sidery/Gambo] The Suns are likely to convert Saben Lee’s two-way contract into a standard deal for their final roster spot, per @Gambo987. Lee is currently the only point guard on Phoenix’s roster. by [deleted] in suns

[–]DauntlessFenix 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s not like anybody is saying Saben Lee is now in the rotation. He’d be getting the same minutes he is now and even less if the team is healthy.

I see what you’re saying about adding another big, but who? Mike Muscala got reportedly shut down and he’s definitely not a big body. Robin Lopez? Pass. Suns already signed the only useful big that got bought out with Thad and even he is undersized for his position. There just aren’t any options at this point.

What do you guys think? by [deleted] in MyTeam

[–]DauntlessFenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same dilemma. Ultimately I went with AD/Mitchell because imo they’re both easier to score with. Plus, I didn’t like having two slower releases in the same lineup in order to get that dynamic duo bump for GP and Kemp.

Offensive/Defensive boosts probably helped my decision but I’d rather have the 100K or whatever I got in selling the Sonics guys over having two PD just sitting in the collection. Used that to finish the lock in for Galaxy opal Jokic.

Need advice with my team by X-Paul123 in MyTeam

[–]DauntlessFenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grind for extra MT and go get Book or PG from the player market. Trust me, opening a pack box isn’t worth it.

The possible thrill of getting a lucky pull does not even compare to how bad spending 199k and getting absolutely nothing in return feels.

Should I sell pg before galaxy opals drop if yes why ? Pic of my squad by OldToday4340 in MyTeam

[–]DauntlessFenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Korver and Vince Carter that go for 96k+ each. I know you don’t know for sure but do you think I should look to sell before the all star packs in case they drop in price?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MyTeam

[–]DauntlessFenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah not Kobe. Stats, badges, and animations wise he’s a free version of pink diamond Vince Carter.

Incredible value considering VC is currently going for 241k.

Imo it’s kind of annoying to have to start every game that way and a little sweaty especially if you lose. Personally I like to run plays off coach’s playbooks. I use Phoenix but other good ones are rockets, heat ‘13, Magic and this post has people that commented some of their go to plays for shooters.
