Completely agree with those who would like Jevon back, but I think he will get more than we can offer. He has been good for the Bucks.

We’re probably looking at a 2 year window anyway with this group of Book, KD, and Beal. This is not a dynasty. I imagine if we don’t win, things will shift quickly. I don't think so. Beal has 4-6 good years left, and I think it's very possible to move Durant for quality players at the end of his co...

I'm very happy with Camara. Looks like he will be a good defender and make good reads on simple plays. Shoot when he's open, attack the closeout, dump off to a cutter if the defense rotates. That's all anyone will get to do, so I'm glad we got a guy who specializes in that stuff. This is the best I'...

Anything that gets those guys to shut the f up makes me happy.

But I don't expect more of it in the future.

Do y'all think Warren is going to be a productive player again? His injury history is worrisome, so I don't think he will get a big deal from anyone. He played some very good minutes for us but he also looked like he was coasting for a lot of his time on the court. I hope he lands somewhere and gets...

... The other option of course would be to start Booker at PG and Craig or Okogie at SF - C Ayton, Landale, Biyombo PF Durant SF Craig, Okogie SG Beal PG Booker, Payne, Goodwin You beat me too it with the roster speculation, but yeah. It'll go something like this. Lots of minutes for Payne since he...

This feels like an April Fools joke. Beal for CP3 and Shamet? Too good to be true. Next up, Ayton for KAT Are we going to see Beal get back to his high % 3 point shooting? It would be huge for the Suns if he and Book can both pressure the defense from a step behind the 3 point line. Can Beal stay he...

I don't think seeding meant as much this year. Most playoff teams changed a lot over the course of the season.

FVV is is opting out of 21 million, so that means he wants 30. He's a good player, but I don't want to pay him 30.

In retrospect, it's a bit crazy that Monty was the only coach to beat the Nuggets 2x, and he still got fired. I mean, I get it. He wasn't perfect. But coaching in this league is nuts. I hope Vogel proves to be a good fit for this roster.

Yeah, I think that was it. Now I've watched the video, and it really drove home how underwhelming recent #1s have been. I knew there hadn't been a ton of great #1s recently, but I'd never sat down and counted. There was a 7 year stretch of underwhelming picks between Davis and Edwards. 7 years. Damn...

Jokic was 19/11/6 in year 3, National media maybe hadn’t caught on, but he was easily their best player

He was their best player in year 2, but it took a some time for a lot of us to catch on. I'll admit that I didn't see it at first.

Perhaps the talk that it was somewhat of a mutual decision was true. They told Monty, hey we gotta do something different and he decided he didn’t want to. He’s gonna live or die with his scheme and not willing to adapt. In that case it was the right move. Seems to me that the Suns played very diff...

... Good video about Wemby and #1 picks in general. This guy always has really good content. I think he is the best basketball YouTuber. Watching the video, who was the best player on the Nuggets in Jokic's 3rd season when they made the playoffs? They claimed that Jokic wasn't. I haven't seen the v...

Honestly, IMO every head coach should take a year off between gigs. Head coaches work so much. They ned mental recovery time to grow and do better at the next job. I understand that some coaches feel that every job might be the last, but that's not the case with Monty.

That's kind of how I feel about all of the coaching changes happening this year. If Monty and Bud change places, does either team actually get better? It feels like making a change just to make a change.

... Not sure I’m willing to call him the greatest bust but could see him having a grant hill type career where he’ll have to adapt to his body’s deficiencies. The Grant Hill comparison surprised me. Grant was very healthy outside of his time in Orlando. 6 very healthy years in Detroit and 4 very he...

I usually ignore the argument that <this body type> can't play in the NBA. Lot's of folks said Luka would be too slow for the NBA. Lots of folks thought Garnett and Durant were too skinny. But there is reason for concern with players over 7'2". Seems like everyone that tall has Yao Ming/ Krista...

I think someone else already said this, but I'd try to trade Ayton for Mitchel Robinson and Josh Hart + picks. I think it's a realistic deal since NY has a history of over-valuing big name players.
