Expectations for 2013-2014

[AZ Sun]

Okay... so we all know the plan is to tank this year and try to get Wiggins. We know the team will be bad... but how bad? The 76ers will be Charlotte Bobcat bad and we will easily be the worst team in the west. That is of course if X player breaks out. What do you guys think is a realistic win total for this team?

I would say anywhere between 18-24 wins would be the window for this team. As long as we are bad enough to get a top 3 draft pick we will be in great shape for the future. We have a promising backcourt with Dragic and Bledsoe... but how and will it work? Goodwin could possibly be the steal of the draft and Len could be a solid NBA player when he develops. However, these guys won't turn the team around. We are going to be turrible. But the obvious goal and only thing that matters is TANKING FOR WIGGINS.

And even if we don't land Wiggins, this is projected as one of the deepest draft classes ever. We're talking 1996, 2003, and 1984 territory. If we land any of the top talents, this team will have a great future.

So what do you guys think about this season?

I think the Suns will have the 3rd worst record in the NBA (ahead of the Sixers and Bobcats). I'm thinking 20 wins. They'll win less if they trade Gortat before the deadline.

The Bobcats actually could be better than us. Zeller-Jefferson-Kidd-Gilchrist-Henderson-Kemba

They added Big Al and drafted Zeller and I expect Kemba, Henderson and MKG to improve. The Celtics will be bad too. I think we're a lock for a top 4 pick and then add in our other two first rounders and it should make it a very productive draft for us. I want Wiggins but it's not the end of the world if we end up with Randle or Parker.

I think the line in Vegas for the Suns will be 20 wins. I say we get 18-22 ish.

Just hope we get the least amount of wins

We will be battling with Charlotte for the worst record IMO

We will be battling with Charlotte for the worst record IMO

Philly Bobcats have a nice set of guards and a couple of decent forwards.

 

[JahiiCarson_SqodGeneral]

Kemba Walker and Gerald Henderson.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Philly and Boston both suck dick. The Bobcats are the Bobcats and we don't look any better. I expect these 4 to be the worst... maybe Orlando but they've got some nice young talent.

 

[JahiiCarson_SqodGeneral]

I like Kemba and Hendo to win more games than us and now they have Zeller to replace there biggest weakness.

And they signed Al Jefferson

 

[JahiiCarson_SqodGeneral]

Whats with all these teams in "win now mode" in the best draft class since 03 well you could argue 2011. Still........... Good for the suns though.

 

[JahiiCarson_SqodGeneral]

Does anyone know what type of system/playstyle Hornaseck wants to run? The old run n gun suns or the more modern day suns more sets and screens?

 

[Jonas_steven]

Shit! We will sweep the season series against the spurs and lakers and then mysteriously lose every remaining games. The suns are going to call in the whole-body leotard guy for all play calling and the starting lineup with have "Thursday night poker" along the sidelines.

And if we rest Dragic and Bledsoe the last week faking injuries.
