Re: Countdown Thread - 65 Days Until Preseason Opens

Sure, you could go with that scrub -- but why would you, when there are pictures readily available of the Greatest Suns Player Ever, modeling the Greatest Suns Uniform Ever? https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/-mm-/3136edeaf10b51a5272ccdbbe3ebca7eab3b560c/c=684-0-2405-2294/local/-/media/USATODAY/None/2014...

Re: DBacks!

On to face the biggest pricks in baseball! Dodgers fans around here go in the same bucket as Lakers fans, for me. Really, most of the people who root for one root for the other. Might as well just root for the Sith, while you're at it. Although ... if it came down to Dodgers vs Astros, I'd reluctan...

Re: All Things Ayton

So when he thanked the GM and the team for “accommodating [his] wishes” in his press conference yesterday, what did he think he was talking about? Did he think he could control that narrative and make it look like it was all up to him when it happened? Or was he just randomly saying words without th...

Re: All Things Ayton

And the last two years? Ayton’s suspension robbed Book and the bubble Suns of a playoff run. You have to imagine what it was like being his teammate then. Damn.. Drew, you're on a roll.... Honestly, that's something I haven't even thought about for a while. I mean I've thought about the suspension ...

Re: All Things Ayton

Then you subject the team to another big shift mid season, I'd rather have avoided that since last year had plenty of bumps. And that did seem to be a point of emphasis; I think that the front office and coaching want to feel like they have a chance to create some continuity during the course of th...

Re: 2023-24 Suns Media Day - Oct 2nd

He's our guy now, and I've already posted about how he's probably a better actual basketball player than a lot of people realize. I hope he's a great contributor for the team this year.

That being said ... his face really does rate about a 97.2 on the punchability scale.

Re: All Things Ayton

Starting at 3:39 on that clip, he's asked essentially when he knew that Portland would be a possibility, given the ongoing nature of the Lillard trade talks over the summer. His immediate response is that he didn't know until "the day of it," when he heard from his agent, and then from (pr...

Re: 2023-24 Suns Media Day - Oct 2nd

For what it's worth, if anything is to be taken as far as rotations or minutes from the order in which they brought guys out to take questions, Eric Gordon was next after Nurkic, and I heard Josh Okoge announced as next up, although the YouTube stream I was watching went off at that point. Given the...

Re: 2023-24 Suns Media Day - Oct 2nd

I don't know how accurate the heights and weights are for the players but hadn't realized Nurkic was listed at 290. I always thought he was around 6-11 255-260. He looks leaner in that video so maybe he's just worked on getting in better shape over the years. Just can't imagine him heavier than som...

KD and Book both said they want in on Team USA for the Paris games.
Beal said the same thing. All of them, no hedging, just “I want in.”

Re: TRADE: Ayton/Camara for Nurkic/Allen/Little/Johnson

It’s unfortunate there is/was no way for us to land Williams. He is just the kind of player we’d need against the likes of Giannis, AD, Jokic, etc. I’m sure most would be much more favorable about the trade if we got Williams instead of Nurkic. But it is what it is. Moving forward… I think some peo...

I'm kinda neutral about the whole heaven/hell afterlife thing, but if there is such a place, do you think Kobe Bryant's there?

I have my doubts.

Re: TRADE: Ayton/Camara for Nurkic/Allen/Little/Johnson

Simmons loves hedging and playing both sides. He’s not a serious voice when it comes to analysis. I used to like his writing, which was breezy and occasionally had clever pop culture references and didn't take itself too seriously (he used to preface a lot of stuff with some variation of "don'...

Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

Hard to know…Book was definitely better when they played together last year, but KD was trying to fit in on the fly…KD looked like an early mvp candidate before he got hurt for Brooklyn last year. I don’t think either will get it…mvp is too focused on stat stuffing and they’ll steal stats from each...

Am I the only one who thinks we match up better against Milwaukee now than we did prior to the trade? Who is guarding Beal and Book on that squad? I’m a little more concerned about where Jrue lands. Not sure I buy the Bucks being the favorites to win the title. Couple of days ago in the trade threa...
