The Suns only have one pick in the 2026 NBA Draft at No. 47. For @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, here are 5 second-round prospects they should consider, assuming they stay there or somewhere in that range:

What a freaking shot, Jalen Brunson

What Dylan Harper is doing as a rookie on this stage is bonkers

2026 NBA Finals first half recap

Julian Champagnie and Landry Shamet trading 3s and talking shit, this Finals already rules lol

That Nintendo Direct next week is going to feed families. More specifically, my family. Even more specifically, me.

I don't expect the Suns to trade into the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft, BUT we know Brian Gregory likes to move around on draft night. For @sports360az.bsky.social, I wrote about 5 prospects that would make sense if Phoenix did move up that far:

Some shows I've watched recently that I highly recommend because it feels like people are sleeping on most of these: Margot's Got Money Troubles Widow's Bay The Testaments Devil May Cry S2 Hacks S5 Rooster Half Man Beef S2

☀️More ambitious trade-up options ☀️Teams with attainable late first-rounders ☀️Prime targets with multiple second-round picks @geraldbourguet.bsky.social broke down a few teams the Suns could target if they want to trade up in the 2026 NBA Draft:

What a strange final season of Euphoria. Did absolutely nothing with Jules or Nate as characters, and the feuding drug lords bit was off the wall, but the show was always at its best as a story about addiction, so I'm glad they let Zendaya and Colman Domingo cook one last time

The Suns only have 1 pick (No. 47) in the 2026 NBA Draft, but based on their recent history, it's fair to expect them to move up if someone they like is on the board. For @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, I wrote about teams that make sense as targets in trade-up scenarios:

I can’t believe the San Antonio Fucking Spurs got Victor Wembanyama to succeed Tim Duncan, who succeeded David Robinson. Unreal

The Spurs are here. Again.

Please don’t let Wemby foul out. The discourse if that happens and the Thunder win as a result would be enough to keep me off this app through July

I knew the Spurs would be a force at some point in the near future but I didn’t think it’d be “on the verge of knocking off the defending champs in Game 7 on the road in their first real playoff run together” soon. The poise of this young team is terrifying

Thunder not looking like a team trying to defend their title in a Game 7. Dudes jogging back on defense, not matching up in the half-court, getting out-hustled…nerves and the Spurs’ first punch has them looking very uncharacteristic to start

Starting on the first night of the NBA Draft, two of the Suns' future first-round picks will become trade-eligible. For @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, I wrote about the numerous reasons I wouldn't expect either one to be on the move:

Backrooms is a bizarre and fascinating directorial debut for a guy who just barely cracked his 20s, tapping into some unique fears and existential dread:

Hacks is one of those rare shows that felt like it just kept getting better and better as it went, and I'll definitely miss it now that it's capped off its final season with such a great series finale. Hannah Einbinder, you have a fan for life in whatever you do next

Coming off a career year with the Suns at age 30, Dillon Brooks is due for a contract extension this summer. For @sports360az.bsky.social, I wrote about what a new deal to keep him in Phoenix will probably look like:

Tears of the Kingdom Pokopia 🤝 Feeling like a creatively bankrupt simpleton watching videos of all the cool shit other people have done that I’d never even dream of

For @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, I wrote about the proposed 3-2-1 NBA Draft Lottery reform, where it goes too far in trying to eradicate tanking, and the impact it might have on the Phoenix Suns:

Jordan Ott finished 5th in Coach of the Year voting, with 1 second-place vote and 8 third-place votes

The Mandalorian And Grogu isn’t exactly what I pictured for Star Wars’ return to the big screen, but the critics were too hard on this one. If you liked The Mandalorian, you’ll enjoy what is basically just 3-4 episodes of the show stitched together:

Happy for Landry Shamet. Obviously his Phoenix stint was brutal, but I’ll never forget how on edge he was after going off against Denver in that one Suns playoff game in 2023. It was obvious how much the sourness of that whole situation bothered him

Obsession is a creepy thrill ride, features a captivating, star-making performance from Inde Navarrette, and if nothing else, makes a compelling case for why some of you dweebs should remain locked in the friend zone:

Watching the Thunder and Spurs trade haymakers in the Western Conference Finals, one thing is abundantly clear: The Suns are still a ways away from competing at this level, which is why their more patient, methodical approach might make sense

I love this Thunder-Spurs series more than some members of my extended family. And that’s not even meant as shade toward my family, this series is just that good

CASTLE JUST UNALIVED SOMEONE AT THE RIM

Idc if this is an unpopular opinion now, but The Boys stuck the landing. Great final season with a fitting series finale. It certainly had its low points but I’ll miss such a fun show

Even before taking into account his up-and-down year, restricted free agency for Mark Williams will be a bit tricky for the Suns to navigate. For @sports360az.bsky.social, I took a look at the different scenarios that might unfold and what it'd take to re-sign him:

Yeah there’s a basketball god up there who saw fit to let the Spurs go from David Robinson to Tim Duncan to Victor Wembanyama while banishing the Suns to the shadow realm of success with no titles for 60 years, this shit’s rigged

The Thunder really got Alex Caruso for an ill-fitting Josh Giddey and zero draft picks. That is a real-life thing that happened

Gimme 6 more games of this shit right here

The Suns want Jordan Goodwin back, but what type of contract will it take to re-sign him in free agency? For @sports360az.bsky.social, I took a look at his career-best year and value Phoenix’s newfound identity:

It's probably not happening anyway, but would the Suns' best trade offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo even be competitive? "I don't think it comes close" New Offseason Mega-Pod with @geraldbourguet.bsky.social & @yossigozlan.bsky.social! LISTEN: bit.ly/4dkGTLB WATCH bit.ly/4tsxdot

The Boys fanbase may have surpassed The Pitt for the most annoying of any TV show right now. S5 isn’t peak like S2-S3 were, but I’m convinced most of the people ripping it every week spend more time on their phones than actually watching these episodes

Send Help is a terrifically unhinged showcase for Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien, while Sam Raimi Sam Raimi-s HARD (complimentary and derogatory):

I'm cool with Jon Bernthal being The Punisher for as long as he wants, and that special feature was fun even if it was more of a short story, but "One Last Kill" is an objectively funny name. Many died! Except the "one" he was supposed to kill last!

A Suns source called the Giannis and Ja Morant rumors "complete nonsense" Intel on that, what to expect for Collin Gillespie/Jordan Goodwin/Mark Williams in free agency, Dillon Brooks' extension, Harrison Barnes/Dean Wade, and big plans for the rookies:

For @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, it's time for new Suns intel on Giannis, Ja Morant, what to expect for Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Mark Williams in free agency, Dillon Brooks' potential extension, Dean Wade and Harrison Barnes, & plans for Khaman and Rasheer:

The Suns probably won't make a big move this summer, but what if they decided to be more aggressive? For @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, I took a look at 6 "distressed assets" to consider, what trades for those fallen stars would look like, and the obstacles in the way:

We already knew Chase Infiniti was a star, but The Testaments is pretty damn good. (The final season of The Handmaid’s Tale was too. Sometimes I think we move on too fast from shows in the culture zeitgeist the *second* they have a season that’s anything less than mind-boggling)
