Allen posted a message thanking the bucks! Cheering for the new owner His bad reputation did not prevent the sun from bringing him in
On October 2, Beijing time, in a previous three-way deal involving the Bucks, Trail Blazers and Suns, the Suns got Nurkic, Little Ter, Keon Johnson and Grayson Allen.
In this deal, 27-year-old Grayson Allen is also worth watching. The Suns will be the fourth team Allen will play for in his career, having previously played for the Jazz, Grizzlies and Bucks. In his two seasons with the Bucks, Allen played in 138 regular-season games, including 131 starts, averaging 10.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists while shooting 40.4 percent from three-point range.
After being sent away by the Bucks, Allen retweeted social media where fans thanked him, writing, "I am so grateful to Milwaukee and all Bucks fans for their love and support over the past two seasons! At the same time, Allen also retweeted the Suns' welcome tweet, writing: "Let's rush." ”
After joining the Suns, Allen will wear the number 8 jersey. It is worth mentioning that when Allen changed his jersey number last season, he told Bucks fans that he would never change his jersey number again. Unexpectedly, he changed the court this summer, and really did not have the opportunity to change the Bucks' number again.
It should be noted that Allen does not have a good reputation in this league due to the slightly rough style of play. According to Duane Rankin, a reporter for The Arizona Republic, Allen has been considered a "dirty" player since his college days, and he often deliberately tripped, but that didn't cause the Suns to stop completing the deal.
Duane Rankin said the Suns aren't known for playing dirty, but the team does have some aggressive players who can provoke opponents, and veteran Crowder is one of them. The Suns pride themselves on their competitive culture that doesn't involve crossing boundaries and hurting opponents. After joining the Suns, Allen may adjust his game to fit the Suns.
With the Suns trading important players like Beal and Nurkic this summer, can Allen help the Suns race for a championship? Let's wait and see.
