Re: Luke Kennard is a Sun!

I am with my Lakers fan brother in law on a family vacation and he is unhappy. Great signing.

Indeed, I loved all the moves except one...and from a purely basketball POV, even that move becomes more defensible with this signing.

Re: Suns trade Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale for Miles Bridges

League Pass subscription cancelled. It doesn't mean that I will stop being a fan. It does mean that I will stop directly contributing to the Suns' revenue streams. I will still be happy to watch highlights, streams, or live games if I get free tickets. And they will have the chance to earn me back ...

It looks like Sose (or someone) also made a site encouraging fans to boycott the team:

He kind of made himself look bad in that post. IDGAF! How so though? By being unequivocally against a wife beater being on the team? "I hold more authority than the rest of you Suns fans because I ran a Suns site that had 6-7 million hits every month" By the way, New Times wrote an article about KJ ...

Re: Suns trade Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale for Miles Bridges

Off court issues are very, very real. I may not renew League Pass at this point. Still thinking but leaning this way. Will still watch clips but might not want to spend money on the team directly.

Re: Suns trade Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale for Miles Bridges

Without the pick, character issues aside, not a bad trade. With the pick... Exactly. Just leave the picks out and it is an ok move for both teams. CHA was done with Bridges regardless, and we for sure needed to do something about the guard logjam. Almost as if Ishbia wants to make sure the Suns ...

Re: SUNS DRAFT KOA PEAT

Best case: poor man's Zion. Worst case: Millsap. Not bad for a #30 pick. Koa's worst case scenario is a guy that averaged 16-18 ppg/7-9 rpg for several years?! I think you're higher on him than Gregory is. I think you and O Gardino are right -- I am undervaluing Millsap quite a bit. But I don't ...

Re: SUNS DRAFT KOA PEAT

I am not sure what all the hate is about, either. Looking at the analytics and scouting reports, he looks pike he could develop into an Aaron Gordon. And he is remarkably strong for a 19 year old kid. Give him some time with pliometrics and he'll get stronger with a bit more burst. That being said ...

Re: Suns News: 2026 Postseason Edition

If they let Mark Williams walk, they will have given up two 1sts for a one-year rental of a brittle big man. I understand the sunk cost fallacy argument but that'll be a low-key disastrous trade in retrospect. I actually really hope they re-sign Williams because I don't think Oso / ManMan is a ...

Re: 2026 Offseason

One cringe thing about Zion…. His weight and games played clauses added in his contract… Do we really want a guy who’s gotta have these issues put in a contract? Granted I like the teams protection but don’t see those as “aligning” values this team is building. Isn't this the real danger of bringing ...

Re: 2026 Offseason

FWIW Zion makes $6m more than Jalen Green ($39m / yr vs $33m / yr) so we'd either take on salary or need to include other players to even it out. Both guys have 3-year deals so there's no savings or cost there. All sorts of weight and games played related clauses in Zion's contract. Including a ...

Re: 2026 Offseason

I've been thinking how to fix the roster and the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a Green for Zion swap. Even if Zion does not play, I think it would be addition by subtraction -- cap space and the end of micro-ball. I also like the idea of signing Sochan and using Dunn as a minor ...

Re: 2026 Offseason

I'm expecting exactly this. He's in the top 1% of BBIQ and it's clear that his work ethic is also in the top 1-10% based on the work he put in last summer. Why shouldn't we expect further strategic thinking and effort from someone who has already demonstrated both attributes? Oso spent most of last ...

Re: 2026 Offseason

As Kevin Garnett once shouted, anything is possible. But I really doubt we will ever see Oso learn to fluidly shoot jump shots at a high percentage. He would have to totally reconstruct his shooting form from the ground up. Such a thing has happened before, but it would take months, years of ...
