Trade & FA 2024-25:

I don't think PHX can sustain a long run, but it wouldn't surprise me to see them as a top 4 team next year in the west. A lot will need to go right. I think they have had a solid offseason, most of the media thinks so as well. Although most thought they had a good offseason last year as well.

If KD and Booker are healthy, they will win more than they lose. Health is key though. The worker bee type of players are also important. Dallas was able to find guys last year who fit around their stars and did a lot of the dirty work. Tyus Jones was a steal. O'neal is solid even if he is overpaid. Grayson Allen is a little flawed but can really shoot. Not a huge fan. Not really a fan of Nurkic, but would feel better if they didn't need to count on him so much. Plumlee is ok as a backup center...nothing more though. Unless their picks this year surprise, it feels like they are missing those glue guys on the wings that every team needs to guard. Tough to expect Durant to be your best player but also expect him to be your best defender.
