I keep telling myself that all this extra responsibility for the role players will pay off as the season progresses.

I like the trade for Philly. That's a lot of picks and role players for just giving up PJ Tucker. IMO if they stay healthy and figure out the bench, they are a threat in the East. Maybe I'm just being a homer, but I think there's a big difference between the stars Phoenix loaded up with and the ones...

Wemby is averaging 16 per game, and shooting poorly outside of the paint. I would put Nurk on him, keep him out of the paint, and see what he can do.

It's not that AD outplayed Nurkic, the problem is that the Sun were trying to force it. The Suns should have been trying to get AD out of the play instead of going right at him with Nurk. The Suns did get a lot smarter as the game went on, but that first stretch was brutal. What did AD have - 4 bloc...

Bol Bol has looked good at times and terrible at others. He’s still so raw and is constantly biting on fakes and trying to go for blocks. I don’t anticipate him getting much time here throughout the season, especially with Metu on the squad and what Vogel has said about him (Metu). I had to look it...

Turns out it's a back to back after all.

I'm eager to see the lineups. There's a good chance Vogel starts someone other than Okogie just to see how the lineup works. If Okogie does start, maybe the starting lineup is set already.

I am.being lazy so not gonna YouTube search "G. Allen dirty plays" I know ppl reference I believe an undercut with Caruso but for those so disgusted with him can y'all drop situations/circumstances ... Obviously, this is my take on what I see when watching. It's not the specific dirty pla...

Very good game for GrayA. I would love to see us trade him for a PG. TJ McConnell, D'Anthony Melton, and Pat Connaughton make about the same $. A guy can dream, right? I would have said yes to trading Allen for TJ right after the trade, but not anymore. Allen is way better than TJ. Also I would not...

A lot of this has already been said, but here is my take. Keep in mind that training camp just opened, and that it is shorter than it was in the old days. The team hasn't had nearly as much time together as they used to before the first game of the preseason. Booker and Beal are READY. Glad to see O...

I think you are underestimating his impact. He's head and shoulders the best shooter on the roster besides the obvious guys. I'd be surprised if he's under 20mpg after a full season with this team. Who are the obvious guys? Book, Beal, KD, and EG? I hope his half season not missing anything holds u...

Has there been a more divisive player in Suns history than Ayton? We used to have the same kind of discussions about Leandro Barbosa. There were 2 or 3 people who thought he should be an allstar. I remember the Penny Hardaway discussions around here and they were pretty ugly at times. God, yeah. Th...

We used to have the same kind of discussions about Leandro Barbosa. There were 2 or 3 people who thought he should be an allstar.

As for the Cam vs PJ debate - this whole discussion feels very old fashioned to me. PJ is a "true 4"? Cam is done developing at age 27? Y'all it's 2023.

I agree that the NBA Championship is the de facto World Championship, at least for the foreseeable future. It's just arrogant to call it that, that is until the NBA champion actually plays and beats teams from other leagues. ... I agree with this take. Is it ok for our marketing and sales people to...

Anyone else think KD could be our 3rd option this season? Not a knock on his talent, of course, but I think Beal's energy and activity will match Booker's. Those two will lead the offense, and KD will fit in where he needs to. In fact, Beal might be our first true star who can play at Book's pace si...

He wants to play James Harden ball, and combining that with his contract expiring and habit of being unfit or unhealthy for long stretches is making most teams leery of acquiring him. He's at the point of his career where he needs to change to maintain longevity, but we've seen many examples of guy...

I'm pretty hyped about this off-season and that video of Metu isn't calming me down. We picked up a bunch of guys with enough skill and competitiveness to thrive playing off of our big 3.

It'll be interesting to see what they get for him. He's still putting up good numbers, but hasn't seemed to buy in to any roster since Mike D coached him in Houston. He's not a leader, he's past his prime, and he hasn't wanted to play in for his last 3 teams. I'm just not sure who would give up a lo...
