Take That For Data is back, and there’s a lot to talk about! From the Phoenix Suns reportedly working out Bronny James, to how that could impact the possibility of LeBron James coming to the Valley, to Mike Budenholzer’s fit as head coach, to a few more Suns trades involving Nassir Little and David Roddy, Gerald Bourguet and Stephen Pridgeon-Garner dive into all the latest possibilities for this team!
To start off, the duo talk about Bronny James reportedly working out for the Suns during the pre-draft process, where he could help Phoenix as a draft prospect, and whether this could signal that LeBron James is considering the Suns in free agency — even at a steep discount on a veteran minimum deal.
After that, they circle back to the PHNX Suns Podcast’s conversation with ESPN’s Bobby Marks from earlier in the week, going through some of the restrictions the Suns will have to navigate around as a team in the second tax apron.
Next, Mike Budenholzer’s fit with this Suns roster comes under the microscope, and Gerald and Stephen discuss what he needs to execute his defensive schemes, and why Jusuf Nurkic might not be the best fit for the drop coverage Bud likes to run. They also touch on Bol Bol’s potential fit under Budenholzer if he re-signs with Phoenix in free agency.
Finally, they conclude the show with a few hypothetical Suns trades involving Nassir Little and David Roddy, including targets like Jalen McDaniels, Davion Mitchell, Quentin Grimes and Torrey Craig.
