Here to talk basketball. Never too high, never too low. #MaluWATCH 25/26.
Since the trade, my assumption has been that Mark Williams will have to ‘prove it’ this season & wait on RFA. But I’m at least a little intrigued at how low the extension number would need to be for PHX to take the gamble early. At how high for Williams to take the $$ now.
FWIW - A two team sign & trade structured in this way would fail trade rules on many fronts.
The Suns have a “concrete offer” on the table for Jonathan Kuminga in addition to the Kings, per @ShamsCharania. In sign-and-trade talks with Golden State, Phoenix could potentially offer a package around Grayson Allen, Nick Richards, Oso Ighodaro, and draft compensation.
Wasn’t a tweet about Kuminga. I have a whole other set of thoughts on that but we’ll deal with that if he’s ever a Sun.
Absolutely here for it. Not at all convinced he’s a 16 game player but we’re in no place to nitpick right now. A 22 y/o power wing who has proven he can get his own against elite defenses is a great upside play (not to mention we have plenty of studio space for him to explore)
I’ll wait to see what it actually looks like but yeah, that’s one way to completely change the outlook for me.
