I don't know what they "should do" because I'm not in that office. Maybe some say that's pedantic, but I'd say most of the ideas I read are asinine so let's call it a wash, OK? It's January 15th when all the cards are fair to play, so here's what I think they'll do... 1. Neither Kevin Durant or ...

Ayton is at an all time low. I have no faith in him redeeming his value as an NBA player, but there's something churning if he wants one more big pay day. Regardless, I'd put my bet on Frye having a more accomplished career when the dust has settled. It's simple -- Frye respects the game, Ayton does ...

Point guard is not the problem!!! It's a big problem. We don't have anyone managing the game or the flow of the game. The "game within the game" that we used to be so good with because of CP. Setting up for certain shots in certain situations at certain points in the game. Using clock when it's ...

Kinda feel bad for Plumlee -- no one should expect him to produce as a starter night in and out. He should really be a third Center who sometimes gets bumped up to second due to injury, fouls or matchups. I think some of you guys might feel a bit better if you just start betting opposition Center ...

I actually think Butler won't mesh well with KD. And I doubt he'll buy into Budenholzer's coaching. I think Butler is a better fit than Beal, but acquiring him doesn't make this team a contender. I was all for acquiring because letting him walk gets us under the 2nd apron, but if they plan is to ...

Remember it started with Pat Riley telling the media he should shut his mouth. An old white man in a position of power telling his black employee to keep his mouth shut. Let that sink in. https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/40095250 Pat Riley was right and I don't have any issue with his words in ...

$35M/year is significantly more palatable. I have no issue with swapping Beal for him in that scenario.

I can't know the exact reason, but a lot of Suns fans are ignoring Butler's warts, and it's a little tiresome when were seeing one of them right now in real time. Hmm, I just don’t agree. Butler is a significant upgrade over Beal imo. Yes Butler has warts…but the truth is he’s gonna play nice for th ...

I'd rather have Beal than 36-40 year old Jimmy Butler making $50M per season. What's bothering me most is Butler would bring very little to improve the current state of the roster and dramatically increase it's volatility longer into the future if Ishbia is willing to "offer him a lucrative multi ...

Dunn has been great for a rookie. Oso has been promising for a 2nd round rookie. I don't love him nearly as much as most others here it seems. I'm happy to see him stick around, but wouldn't miss him if he was a part of a significant upgrade at Center. Okogie is what he is. Love his effort, but we ...

Here's the first part of the ESPN piece where Windhorst says that the Suns want Bradley Beal feeling unwelcome so he lifts his no-trade clause: https://youtu.be/uUSFdDjHzZ8?si=bl-4YCn0a_AoqJRb This is a bullshit take. They want him coming off the bench because everything they've recently thrown at ...

I'd rather have Beal than 36-40 year old Jimmy Butler making $50M per season.

This Philly team is a mess and they played a bunch of no-names and bums off the bench.

Finish off the road trip with high effort wins.

I've said for the past 16 months that Beal shouldn't start if the Suns are also starting a Point Guard. Nurkic vacillating between viable and absolute dog shit from night to night only made that more obvious. If Beal can't comprehend this situation, there's no hope -- his basketball ego is untenable ...

Who says no:

Suns get Jimmy
Orlando gets Beal
Miami gets KCP and Jonathan Isaac

Who needs draft compensation? Can we get away with 2nds?

Orlando says no.

Nurkic showing his whole ass. No wonder he's more untradeable than Beal.

No one has the Suns "bent over a barrel". We have KD who's a minimum 2nd team All-NBA player right now and an in-prime Devin Booker.

Neither of them are going anywhere this season and probably not for even longer, so maybe take a breath or three.

The Bender and Chriss draft blunders were all about a staff trying to prove their worth/keep their job. Everyone knew that was a talent poor draft, yet it didn't prevent McD and his people from thinking they were smarter than everyone else and doubling down on high value selections. Hindsight being ...

Frustrating how good this team can be when they play with defensive pride and offensive focus.
