  • S3E41 - Suns Summer League kicks off, Mercury head into All-Star break
    Jul 13 2023

    As the title implies, the Phoenix Suns have kicked off NBA Summer League play. Summer League offers the opportunity to see young players show their skills, and the Suns have a couple players participating who the Phoenix basketball community are truly excited to watch. 

    • Jordan Goodwin
    • Toumani Camara

    There have also been a lot of rumors floating about regarding how the Suns will be attacking the rest of the offseason. Some way more reliable than others. 

    • Do the Suns actually have a shot at James Harden or any other big name star?
    • Cam Payne and his future
    • The importance of knowing the right information.

    The Phoenix Mercury have had a tough season. But with the All-Star break coming up this weekend, there is certainly an opportunity for the Mercury to get together and come up with a formidable game plan to revive the season and make the WNBA playoffs.

    • Good news: The Mercury will undergo a GM change at the end of the season
    • (Maybe an over-)Reaction: Why wait until the end of the season?
    • Good news: Brittney Griner receives All-Star recognition and will start if she is healthy
    • Good news: Skylar Diggins-Smith is making appearances
    • Upcoming game versus the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday 7/18 following the All Star Break.

  • S3E40 - Suns pull of masterful free agency
    Jul 6 2023

    Offseasons are usually boring, but the Suns have made this one very fun for its fans so far. This week, I start the discussion around the new signings that the Suns have made, and provide an early outlook for how fans can expect the roster to look heading into the next season.

    • Suns finally bring in Eric Gordon
    • Amazing signings in Watanabe, Bates-Diop, Eubanks and Metu to surround the addition of Gordon
    • Who is returning from last year?
    • Who will be playing in Summer League action for the Suns + game schedule
    • Will Ayton be traded?
    • The story that can be made from the Suns' early offseason moves.

  • S3E39 - Beal trade made official and other Suns offseason topics / Mercury fire head coach
    Jun 29 2023

    Suns Mode Thursdays are still popping off. Even during the offseason, fresh content is made for loyal Phoenix pro basketball fans. This week, I am able to talk about the Bradley Beal trade in stronger detail after leaving out some unofficial information last week. The Suns have also made a new draft acquisition that I touch on. 

    In other huge news this week, the Phoenix Mercury have fired their clown of a head coach. 

    • Who is stepping in? What are they promising?
    • Overview of Vanessa Nygaard's time as a Merc
    • Who to watch out for
    • Upcoming schedule for the Mercury

    This week I also talk about other offseason topics for the Suns.

    • Qualifying offers for players from last season
    • Cam Payne and Ish Wainright
    • Free Agency timeline and a list of players who the Suns should look at
    • Bring back JC???

    Next week, I will do my due diligence and provide some deeper research on who the Suns may be looking to acquire as they take on the offseason. Hopefully, things will start to shine brighter on the Mercury side as well.
