5-on-5: Can The Suns Grab LaMarcus Aldridge?

3. What move would you like to see the Suns make this offseason?

Bourguet: Honestly, I don’t see the Suns attracting a major game-changing free agent. Their young core is nice, but they’ll need to throw a substantial amount of money at someone to convince him to come play for a developing team. Paul Millsap or Aldridge would be nice fits, but they’re also entering the tail ends of their primes. Re-signing Brandon Knight and locking in the core might be as good as it gets.

Chasen: Sign Goran Dragic! I kid… I kid… Outside of bringing in LeBron, there are a few moves the team could make that’d be really nice. I like the idea of going after a restricted free agent like a Jimmy Butler or Kawhi Leonard. They probably won’t get either, but it would be nice to see the team aggressively attack the top free agents, and maybe even make a run at Kevin Love or DeAndre Jordan too. Whether or not they add anyone, the front office needs to show a commitment to winning now to keep the fans engaged, even if the title window is still a few years away. And there’s absolutely no problem getting a consolation prize of a Khris Middleton, Draymond Green, Tristan Thompson, etc., etc.

Hann: I would love to witness the Suns take Frank “The Tank” Kaminsky in the upcoming draft. He would become the Suns best post player AND one of their best perimeter shooters the second he steps foot in Talking Stick Resort Arena. With his ability to spread the floor and pass the ball so well, defenders would have to constantly be within an arm’s length, allowing the Suns guards easier access to the basket with one big guarding Kaminsky at the three-point line. He would be a ridiculously cheaper option than any of the free-agent power forwards, with an extremely high ceiling to grow, especially in this Suns offense.

Saar: I just want Phoenix to be a big-hitter. I definitely want them to throw huge contracts at Jimmy Butler and Kawhi Leonard and maybe even a smaller one at Draymond Green. As of now I want them to trade the Morris brothers, as I’ve said before, not because they are bad, but they aren’t a core piece of a championship team (and the off-court issue). I’m torn because I want Phoenix to retain Gerald Green, but desperately want Goodwin to get significant rotation minutes.

Harris: Adding a forward would be great, and All-Star Paul Millsap of the Atlanta Hawks would be a great fit. He is a proven veteran who also has playoff experience and the two time All Star does have the talent to make an impact as well. Plus he is a decent rebounder, averaging 7.3 for his career.

More importantly, he is a free agent forward that the Suns could actually get. Yes, forwards like Aldridge, Kawhi Leonard, or Jimmy Butler are all better than Millsap, but there is absolutely no chance that any of those players leave or go to Phoenix. Basically, Millsap is good enough to make an impact, but not so good that he will be locked up by the Hawks.
