50. I think we are being set up for a big time surprise. If they commit to playing hard defense every time down the floor and running off of every turnover or block, the team's supposed weaknesses magically disappear.

I think i will take some credit here.

Wow, 19-13. Who'da thunk?

On a 49-win pace despite injury issues all season.

Ugly game but kind of expected as an XMas hangover. Book had it going which was nice to see. He likes playing in NOLA. Mark Williams ate and none of the Pels could do anything to stop him. The lob to himself wasn't something I've seen a big like him do before. He's a lot more skilled and aware in ...

He is as soft as it gets. Weak fouls. Zero rebounding. There is zero shot blocking ability there he is just not a deterrent, not a shooter, nothing. He's just a big man with a small personality.

Oversized PG that cannot shoot. If he could, he would be an all star. But, he cannot.

Interesting conclusion what do you think?

We are overthinking it. Convert an expiring contract for another expiring (I assume) and second round draft picks. I think it is time to throw Maluach into the fire anyway.

Time to fleece them with a package centered on Richards, Oso, and Grayson Allen. Just make sure you have figured out how to re-sign Gillespie.

I am concerned about him. He's been on these boards since at least 1995. That's a long time. I'm always concerned about him. Here or not. Have you tried PMing him? Yes, nothing yet. He PM'ed me and said he'd kind of tuned the Suns out at the moment, which is completely understandable. But he's ...

Completely separate note -- anyone hear from Capologist/Tony recently? No, he just disappeared without incidence. I am concerned about him. He's been on these boards since at least 1995.

Regardless how this plays out, thamk you for giving us a community all these years. Hoping it doesn't happen, obviously.

Statement game for OKC...but not the Suns. Their two best players are out.

I was going to watch but it is clear it is better not to do so. Just out of gas and worn down, I think. And OKC is out for blood.

Check out this Evan Sidery article from 4 years ago. Brooks has always been a capable if highly inefficient scorer.

I don't know if someone posted this before but this link was a response to another tweet someone else posted here. Almost all the responses to this are brutal. How things have changed in only 18 months and I bet all those haters wish he was on their team now. https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status ...

Does Gillespie want a 4 year deal? He probably only wants a 2 year deal then see if he can get even bigger contract before 30. I think he’d take the guaranteed money…he hasn’t made anything. Maybe you give him a player option on year 4 A 4 year contract is a risk for the Suns, too. Even so, the upsi ...

Yes, good article on this, I had options wrong. If the Suns can lock him down for 4 years, will be a foundation piece.. if he can keep it up.

I said star not superstar but Dragic at his peak, was a star. Him becoming Dragic, would be great.

Looking at his skills set, I think it is entirely possible. I do think his ceiling is even higher, like a Nash-Manu hybrid on offense and a Stockton on defense. But hard ceiling to reach.
