I think I've said this before, and I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer. But I don't really think players of the caliber of Amare Stoudemire should be in the Hall of Fame. Amare was a great player in his day; he won RotY, was a 6x all-star, was 1st team all-NBA once and 2nd team four times. But he ...

Still remember being at that Draft Party at AWA with Nodack, Lazarus, Swing, Cap, and several other folks, breaking out in cheers as the Suns selected him. Seeing Amare fulfill that promise was simply an incredible experience, one that we all shared. It was painful to see him never become quite what ...

The Suns have reported waived Haywood Highsmith, freeing up a roster spot.

Any thoughts what they might have planned for that roster spot? I liked Highsmith a lot as an end of the bench guy.


11 million savings in Luxury Tax, supposedly. All of a sudden, this matters.


Supposedly $1 ...

FT has some more details about Ishbia's financial troubles. "To buy the Suns, JP Morgan lent Mat Ishbia $2.3 billion secured on stock -- which has since lost 90% of its value"

This is like really, really bad. Possible that Ish had to collateralize his Suns share, also possible that he wasn't allowed to by the NBA.

The causes this time were a huge loss after an interest-rate hedge blew up, the suspension of its dividend, and a $2 billion equity infusion from Oak Tree ...

I'm impressed. I'd be even more impressed if they front loaded the contract.

Not a football fan and didn't know about these allegations. Thanks for letting us know. Definitely not good.

IMO we will be worse this coming season than last year. Even if you set aside the abuse stuff with Br****s (which is hard to do) I just don't think he is a great basketball fit. I don't think we need another score-first guy at the 4, especially if he isn't great at defense, rebounding, passing, or ...

I think Khaman will be a top-10 center this year for us.


In all seriousness, I completely agree, and think he is well on his way to being a top 5 center in the league. Has a lot of work to do but wow...his potential is sky high even if he doesn't develop post moves -- which he will ...

\I don't see how calling BS on this is hypocritical. I want to stay a fan and like just about everything else about the team. But I am experiencing cognitive dissonance based on my desire to not support someone who fractured his wife's neck IIRC.


I do not support Miles Bridges, his behavior ...

TBH, what I am seeing is more than a bit disappointing. Just a lot more tolerance of beating the ever loving shit out of a woman than I expected. Expecting folks to be forgiving without any real evidence of contrition. It violates my values and challenges the deep emotional investment I have put ...

Sorry, I'm going to call BS on your perspective. It's one thing to cheat on your wife like Jordan. It's another thing to beat her to a pulp and send her to the hospital. And then violate parole by throwing billiard balls at her. All of this is documented.

I don't see how calling BS on this is ...

Jalen Green and Miles Bridges for Steph. That would solve our point guard problem.


As much as I hate to see a young for old trade...I would be in favor of this one.

I wonder if the plan is to utilize Bridges' ballhandling and passing ability more, essentially making him a point forward.

It would fit the positionless basketball mantra.

The man who preaches 'alignment, accountability and culture' was noticeably absent and it was wrong ...

I’m not sure that is the kind of discussion to detonate, at least not so soon.

I have seen a lot of restraint recently on most of the people talking about Bridges, but I consider it an effort to maintain our community at peace, not as an acknowledgment that their initial positions have changed ...

After reading about the "terrible body language", what I saw was better than I expected. I see embarrassment.

But not true shame. Not true regret. Reading a memorized passage. No real contrition.

He still hasn't paid a fair penalty for his actions, his wealth and his lawyers prevented this.

So ...
