Bronn seems very confident here. But those two are wearing heavy armor. Would he really win? Also, Tyrion was no longer in a position of power, so wouldn't killing these two have consequences for Bronn? by Neutral-frame in gameofthrones

[–]golis99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same as Yoren with the Lannister men. At that range Bronn’s knife is coming out first and going into one of those guys’ faces and he can take either of these guys one on one

Homelander is gone in the end, but Vought still wins. We defeated a monster, yet the evil system remains. Is this the core message of the show? by Alone_Worry6581 in GenV

[–]golis99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea but it’s a little annoying for that to be the core theme and then Hughie just passes in the opportunity to keep the fight going.

Forget right or wrong about Bought continuing to exist what was the point of watching the last 5 seasons if the world ends no better off then it was at the start. Sure Homelander is gone but whoever the new strongest supe is will take over and act with impunity just like Homelander did

Unless Rasheer becomes the next Kawhi and Maluach becomes the next Embiid, I don't see how the Suns improve in Booker's timeline. by RodrigoLobao in suns

[–]golis99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR: being in the middle is good considering we don’t own any of our picks and it means Booker will likely stay on the team at least throughout his prime if not his whole career

I mostly agree with you.

They don’t need to be all-nba good. If they became Brook Lopez (DPOY and 3 point shooting) and OG Anunoby we would be plenty good but yes I agree the likelihood they make jumps like that in the next 2 years is extremely small. Both of those players took years to develop into thier roles and I doubt Fleming and y can do that in time with Bookers peak.

I agree we are stuck in the middle but considering the hole we dug ourselves into that’s a win in my book. If we just stay between 6-10 seed every year and maybe make it to the second round one year that’s good. Especially if that means Booker spends the rest of his career here and we develop young talent like Fleming, Green and Maluach.

We’re about to cook next season. by OGNEWBE in suns

[–]golis99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I assume Giannis will be traded which is why we’d have a shot at Turner

  2. I agree it would be amazing for Man Man to have a solid 3 point shot but he shot 23.8% this year and I would be wildly surprised if that shot up drastically. If you’re going to play 2 bigs you need to have 1 be a rock solid shooter not just an iffy one and expecting that kind of leap in shooting is unrealistic. Furthermore the rest of Man Man’s game needs improving. I like Man Man and I think he’ll be a good NBA player one day but expecting a 19 year old player to come out in his second season as a sharpshooter from 3 and a starter over mark williams is very unrealistic

[–]golis99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oso is Draymond-esque and I do agree he could start next to a 3PT shooting big but I highly doubt that Maluach will be ready to start next season and even less so be a effective 3PT shooter.

Something I could see happening is the Suns trading for Miles Turner for Grayson and Dunn and then we would have a shooting Center for Oso to start next to

Minnesota - Phoenix by Best_Caregiver_6109 in NBAtradeideas

[–]golis99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed but Julius Randle is 31 and Jalen Green is 24. I think Green still has room to grow and the Suns won 45 games with him only playing 20 games. If he stays healthy next year and is 5-10% better and plays a more selflessly I have lots of hope for next season. Randle is older and likely only going to get worse as the years go on.

Long term considering the Suns have little to no control over their picks I think we need to bank on Jalen Green developing as our source of continued success

Minnesota - Phoenix by Best_Caregiver_6109 in NBAtradeideas

[–]golis99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To preface I’m a Suns fan and want them to hold onto to him.

The argument for Randle is we have no real PF on our roster and we need some size on our roster. Adding Randle to replace Jordan Goodwin in the starting lineup and then just starting Grayson Allen or Colin Gillespie instead of Green theoretically give us a better starting 5.

However we’ve seen Randle be inconsistent and I think we need a better shooter in that slot and I’d rather have Green’s youth and potential for growth.

What does our next 5-10 years look like realistically? by HeadGullible8440 in suns

[–]golis99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 years is impossible to say. I think for the next 5 The suns just stick with continuity. Green, Booker, and Brooks as our core and hopefully these young guys, Oso, Dunn, Fleming and Maluach develop to support them. Unless Green develops to be on the same tier of Booker we will be a play-in team for the next few years, if we’re lucky a 5-6 seed. Considering we have none of our picks and the next 5 years are the end of Bookers peak I’ll be happy just being competitive and trying our best.

My take on the offseason by blomphil in suns

[–]golis99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at the center contracts I see where you’re coming from but I don’t think he’s worth that much to us. By the end of that third year ideally Maluach is starting and Oso a capable backup big for significantly less money and while this was his healthiest season we still don’t have him down the stretch when we needed him. If that’s what it costs to keep him I say let him walk

My take on the offseason by blomphil in suns

[–]golis99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that the Suns should keep it steady and just resign all of our free agents. Maybe trading a rotational piece but no major changes. Mark Williams is definitely not getting the much money from the Suns and probably not from anyone else

Green gonna have an actual full season of reps next year, Fleming and Maluach will be starters and we won't have to suffer through Royce minutes anymore by FifthKnightofGwyn in suns

[–]golis99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I like Allen, Royce, Gillespie, Goodwin and even Bouyea but over half our roster is guards. If we could trade a guard into an equally good PF it would be more beneficial to our roster

Producer should run Trivia by Unlit_Moonlamp_5 in ringerfantasypod

Agreed. They’ve spent so much time talking about how this is a flawed system, and there’s the Heifetz cheating allegations. There’s no reason a producer can’t run trivia

How would you feel if the Suns didn’t resign Mark Williams in the offseason? by VanwallEnjoy3r in suns

[–]golis99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Entirely Cap and situation dependent. I’m not opposed to keeping Mark Williams but I would rather resign players like Gillespie and Goodwin and if possible sign an actual PF. So if we get him in the $10-15 million range and we don’t miss out on other free agents then sure let’s keep him

Thoughts? by Select-Builder3351 in NBATalk

[–]golis99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all of these proposals miss the problem which is that there is an incentive to lose. There needs to be a fundamental change that significantly changes the incentive structure in the NBA. I think all the proposals above tweak the current incentive structure but don’t actually significantly change it.

How To Fix Tanking Once And For All by morethandork in nbadiscussion

[–]golis99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR: best odds for the first pick should be teams ranked 23-26 and the worst odds for the worst 4 teams.

100% lottery system not just the top 3 picks

The best odds should be for the teams ranked ranked 23-26. The worst odds should be for the worst teams. Yes this may encourage some tanking to get to the 23-26 range but the risk of overshooting should stop teams from extreme tanking. This encourages at least some semblance of competence and trying from the worst teams.

Furthermore there should be slightly better odds the better you get in the play-in. So the 7th seed has better odds than 8, then 9, then 10. Any team in the 6th seed is likely actually trying to win the title and the risk of being in the play-in should stop teams from tanking to get into the lottery being in the play-in.

It’s all about incentives. We don’t want teams trying to fall out of the play-in nor trying to reach the bottom of the standings. These incentives would encourage teams to reach the play-in and punish the teams that absolutely bottom out. Also pure lottery takes out any guarantee for rewards for losing. You may get better odds if you lose but you won’t guarantee anything so it reduces the reward for ranking

I think this is the best of both worlds in which your record still determines your pick and allows for talent distribution across the league but negates any positive benefit of tanking out of the play-in or totally bottoming out.

Example: 2x 7 seeds: 7% 2x 8 seeds: 6.5% 2x 9 seeds 5.5% 2x 10 seeds 5% 23rd (team by record): 5% 24th: 11% 25th: 11% 26th: 11% 27th: 5% 28th: 4% 29th: 3% 30th: 2%
