Phoenix Suns son
I know they lost Amare, but the Suns to me, look like they put a pretty interesting team together. Let me be the first to say that their defense is probably going to suck like always, but the offensive firepower and mismatches they can put together is pretty insane. My favorite lineup for the Suns would be something like:
Steve Nash (6'3)
Josh Childress (6'8)
Grant Hill (6'8)
Hedo Turkoglu (6'10)
Brook Lopez (7')
IMO, that should be their starting 5 with Dragic, Richardson, Dudley, Warrick and Frye as their second unit.
I'm not a Suns fan by any means, but that should be one of a fun lineup.

um thats robin not brook
J Rich will start at the two and not Childress.
If you plan on playing Chillz at the 2 then you have to have a 3 who's a great shooter, because Chillz can't shoot. Most likely though, the Suns are starting him at the 3 or making him their 6th Man.
Childress was a great and very underrated pickup for them. They will not be a bad team.
If they would've gotten David Lee then most of the Western Conference would really have to worry about them.
As it is I don't see them being too much of a factor but I think it's likely they make the playoffs.
They can probably make it as a 4 or 5 seed in the playoffs.
Imo they're going to struggle to get a low seed and could miss out on the playoffs. Losing Amar'e was a huge hit since he was playing like the best big man in the league for the second half of the regular season; he's also instant and efficient offense with a ton of chemistry and experience with the team. Then there's Lopez who ran into back problems which simply sucks ass for a big man but hopefully its not an ongoing issue. Steve Nash also had a great season but I think losing Amar'e will not only hurt enough of his production to make a noticeable difference but intangibles like overall at ude, similar to the Terry Porter days.

if you are satisfied as a playoff contender then have at it. this team have a 0% chance at winning a le
Theoretically speaking, there is no team in the league that has a "0%" chance of winning a le. The goddamned T-Puppies could win a le, it's just that the chance of that happening is very low. But there is always a chance...
I think the Suns best lineup is Nash-Rich-Hedo-Frye-Lopez. It is very reminiscent of the 09' Magic's lineup that gave LeBron and co. so much trouble due their overwhelming size: Alston-Lee-Hedo-Lewis-Howard.
Horrible team. They won't make the playoffs. Jason Richardson will be their best player and I cannot imagine Josh Childress starting over him.
O & 43!
and beyond!
Gotta suck to be a Suns fan
out of the handful of elite teams out West, the suns only one that didn't play a single finals game.
Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, all made it
and now the run is over pretty much. 0 finals appearances
they'll make the playoffs and more than likely be in the bottom half of the bracket ......
Agreed, the Suns are a poor mans 09' Magic
Nash-Rich-Hedo-Frye-Lopez is close to Alston-Lee-Hedo-Lewis-Howard
The Suns got a better PG with Nash, better bench, lacking in the dominant center, and Lewis could shoot the ball in any stadium while Frye is only useful at home (even that is iffy)
In fact I think I would take this years Suns over that Magic team that made it to the Finals. Now the Suns have the same overwhelming quality that lead the MAgic over the Cavs, but with a top 5 PG and deeper bench.
& If Hedo is 6'10" I'm a pedo.
Grant Hill is a dinosaur
if it was really Brook then indeed suns would look good
Congrats on acquiring Hedo as a spot-up shooter in the Nash offense.
This team won't be in the paint once this season. Lakers will average 100 rebounds/game.
LOL at starting three Small Forwards. Childress, Hill, Hedo. Also, I'm fairly sure Hedo is indeed 6'10, I'm also really surprised nobody has called you out on the fact that Brook Lopez doesn't play for thim. They wish he did. ROBIN Lopez on the other hand will be starting I'm sure. The Suns might have a fun team, but they're gonna suck. If they still had Amar'e AND Brook Lopez instead of Robin, then I would say the additions of Turkoglu, Childress, and Warrick were enough to make them a big time contender.
"Also, I'm fairly sure Hedo is indeed 6'10"
My ass.
Where are the Suns fans?
The ones around here seemed more like Amar'e fans tbh.
