As the Phoenix Suns gradually get better, the run-in of the Big Three has also achieved the expected effect, a wave of four consecutive wins directly lifted themselves into the top eight in the West, only one win away from the Pelicans in fifth place in the West, and it is a bit tricky to hit the top half of the West in terms of the current team lineup. Booker and Beal, who have always been scoring guards who have always focused on offensive finishing, need to play a more important role in Vogel's system, not only to organize and connect the team, but also to actively limit the opponent's play on the defensive end. In order to better build the team around the Big Three, Suns general manager Jones has shown a strong need for reinforcements in the trade market, and they have focused on bringing in the No. 1 position.
When the team has a real point guard, Booker can become a Mamba protégé and help the team with excellent scoring skills, and the operation of 5 points in the third quarter is the best proof of this. Potential newcomer Little and future asset draft picks are on the shelf, in addition to the Big Three, they are more cost-effective in the team, but such chips have not attracted too much attention, with an annual salary of 30 million Dejou Tymori Souly is also clearly marked with two first-round picks, as for the relatively ideal Tyus Jones also wants a first-round lottery pick, such a sky-high price operation is undoubtedly Jones's operation is in a dilemma, and changing some useless leftovers can only pull down the team's record, as for the outstanding instant players, they are not competitive.
Just as fans were making suggestions for the Suns, Suns management made a concession, and according to Action Network's Matt Moore, they may send center Nurkic away in order to upgrade the roster. This season, the Balkan boy averaged 12.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks in 28 minutes per game, successfully propping up the team's paint zone, but it was unexpected that he was put on the shelf just over the middle of the game. After all, for the sake of Vogel's defensive system, Jones sent Ayton away at all costs, and the team has not completely overturned his previous preparation plan, which is simply incomprehensible to fans, and the only thing that is certain is that Nurkic's performance and contract may attract more attention from the team, and it is possible to get a good championship puzzle.
In just one week, the Suns have changed their minds, and Allen's potential is limitless. Back in the days of the Milwaukee Bucks, his team was positioned as a defensive guard, specializing in all kinds of dirty work, but scouts ignored his performance on the offensive end, especially after partnering with the Suns Big Three, and the scoring explosiveness and consistency he showed made Jones shake. Although Allen averaged 13.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, he was the only player in the league to break into the "180 Club", the only one to focus on, the shooting rate so far this season is 50.3%, 2.8 three-pointers per game and the shooting rate is 48.0%, ranking first in the league, and the free throw shooting rate is 91.2%. With both assists and blocks hitting career highs, and a trade with an annual salary of less than $9 million has grown into an important piece of the puzzle on the team's way to a championship, Jones' strategic decision to decisively abandon the trade may be a wise move.
