The last seven days have marked the start of NBA free agency, opening the doors into the offseason.The Suns have made a few moves over the first week of free agency

  • Devin Booker and his rise into superstar status
  • The return of the (Bis)Mack
  • Introducing new acquisitions Damion Lee and Jock Landale.

I also briefly discuss some of the other moves throughout the offseason that share some relevance with the Suns.

  • JaVale McGee, Aaron Holiday on the way out
  • Jalen Smith secures the bag
  • Ricky Rubio, T.J. Warren sign deals

I spent some time talking about the headlining moves of the first two days of the free agency period

  • Jalen Brunson leaves the Dallas Mavericks
  • Timberwolves pull of mega trade with Jazz to acquire Rudy Gobert. 

With the offseason far from over, I discuss some of the remaining free agent options for the Suns

  • Deandre Ayton, Collin Sexton in Restricted FA
  • Dennis Schroder, Montrezl Harrell, etc.
  • Keep an eye for trades.

And as I have been doing every week, I provide an update on the Phoenix Mercury at the end of the episode. In this last week, the Merc have lost another two games and now have a record of 9-14 on the season. Approaching the home stretch and heading into the playoffs, the Mercury are undeniably running out of games to lose. In this update, I discuss:

  • Coaching
  • Mercury and their size issue
  • Expectations derailed by BG situation
  • Follow-up on 1st half season goal now that All-Star game approaches
  • Skylar Diggins-Smith drama, follow up on Tina Charles drama
  • Two games: vs Liberty and Lynx before next episode on Suns Mode
  • My final thoughts and circling back to COACHING

Remember to spread love and #ValleyExcellence, and don't forget to come back to the Suns Mode Podcast every Thursday at midnight, AZ time! Next week, I hope to spend many more minutes talking to The Valley as hopefully the Suns make some moves and the Mercury win some basketball games. Regardless, I'll be happy to speak with you.FREE BG. WE ARE BGLETS GO MERC LETS GO MERC LETS GO MERC LETS GO MERC@ValleySunna
