Re: Suns sign Haywood Highsmith

I did some research using Perplexity and got the following. It seems reasonable to me...except...don't we already have these types? What we really need would be a bigger bruiser. I have to think that we're setting ourselves up for a Grayson Allen or Royce trade. --- Haywood Highsmith is a solid, low ...

How close is he to being ready to play? Is this a signing for somebody to play this year or next?
In the latter case, I hope it doesn't mess with chemistry, because the implication is that someone is getting moved.

Re: Suns sign Haywood Highsmith

The Miami fans liken him to PJ Tucker. Does he play bigger than his size? 7 ft wingspan helps, so he has good length for a wing, at least.

Re: Suns News: Week 17 (2/9 - 2/15)

Amare yes, KJ no (too mich of a creep). D'Antoni reinvented the game.

There was a time I would have fought tooth and nail to get KJ in.

Re: 2026 NBA Trade Deadline

You don't mess with the Sochan! https://x.com/Gambo987/status/2017057854000418972?s=20 We have Oso. What's the point. The two of them cannot share the court if Sochan can't space. I agree. What's the point of this unless we're swapping Oso for Sochan? And Oso is a lot cheaper for a long time.

Re: Game Day: Suns (26-17) @ 76ers (23-18), Tues 1/20/25

Put a wing on Oso and switch any action. But that’s probably a win for us if we are forcing teams to put good defenders on Oso. Oso is slowly moving a little more towards Draymond for me. Not as strong, but his defense has been very good and he’s doing a lot in the playmaking department. Not sure he ...

I wouldn’t look twice at shooting motion if he can hit like Reggie Miller but if he is missing anything outside of 8 feet and his jump shot has this weird off hand motion and takes forever to launch then I’m glad he’s at least working on the low hanging fruits. And to Split’s point he’s taking more ...

https://x.com/KellanOlson/status/2014072222806319612?s=20 This is an important, important insight. If Green's athleticism and penetration and Oso's activity and IQ synergize in a 2 man game, it could greatly alleviate the weaknesses of both. It would prevent Green from bad shot selection one-on-one ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (25-17) @ Nets (12-28), Mon 1/19/25

I thought the Suns' win was fool's gold. I liked the crisp, unselfish passing. But they made too many mental mistakes and the stupidly good 3pt shooting bailed them out.

I like how the Nets played. Reminiscent of how the Suns play.

This just felt like a playoffs game between two teams that not only wanted it...but knew each other already. Great, gritty win. The Suns have so much depth at SG and SF, which is a blessing...but they have some players they really need to sign at the end of the season. Would hate to lose Grayson but ...

Without making things political here, Grok is pretty gross. Auto porn generation. Putting hard working pornstars out of work. Shame on them.

Loving the team! That being said...you won't be able to sustain chemistry if Green comes back...not enough minutes in the backcourt. With how well Allen is playing...I think you have to trade him. Or Green. Or even...Booker. You could set up a Green-CG backcourt for five years. Or a Booker-CG3 ...

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.

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 ...
