Re: Suns trade for Royce O’Neale

I had forgotten about RO's time on the Jazz. This guy has been a 30mpg starter on a winning team. Pretty great to addition for what he cost. He can easily take Gordon's minutes when EG is having an off night. I wonder if he ends up passing EG in the depth chart by the playoffs.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 15 (1/29/24 - 2/4/24)

I think the NBA gives out too many honorifics as it is. Gimme 8 All NBA, 20 All Stars, and send home about 1/3 of the guys in the HOF. With clear restrictions on health and winning, guys would still get their chances. This year, Wiggins, Curry, LeBron, and AD would not be eligible because their team...

Re: Around the NBA: Week 15 (1/29/24 - 2/4/24)

Personally, I would reduce it to 10 slots on each team, and I would be pretty strict about eligibility. You aren't an all-star unless you've played at least 75% of the games and your team has won more than 50% of its games. It's just tough in the NBA because there are always so many really good play...

Re: Suns News: Week 14 (1/22/24 - 1/28/24)

Beal is unlike any player I can think of in recent Suns history. Undersized for the 2spot but has the length and athleticism combined with insane quickness to get wherever he wants on the court. He's a 3 level scoring threat who's been a versatile defender for us. I still don't think we've scratche...

I haven't been able to watch as much this season, so what's the deal with Eubanks? He has looked good the few times I've seen him, and his numbers are good. Why do the fans seem not to like him? What am I missing?

Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/8/24 - 1/14/24)

Wiggins was touted as being one of the best 2-way players in the league. He did have his moments, but man does Steph make his team look good.

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-17) @ Clippers (22-13), Mon 1/8/24

Just my two cents on our issues (perspective mostly unchanged): 1- Point Guard IS a problem. ... 2- We need more size/athleticism/attitude/moxy ... 3- We're a soft and mentally fragile team ... 4- We need to run/push the pace ... Players we SHOULD be looking at (outside of trades) from the unsigned...

Okay here’s my crazy ass, all my chips on the table move. Probably have no 2nds after this, 1st- Trade KBD and Eubanks for 2nd rounders gtfo 2nd- Trade Nurk(I’ll miss your big fat Dick), Goodwin, Multiple 2nds for Marcus Smart. 3rd- Little, Okogie, Yuta 2nd and a 2030( or some other year) 1st round...

We are joking about Mike D, right? He's way too old to coach anymore. Unless he was just a fill-in to finish the season while we look for the right candidate. OK, I talked myself into it. I do absolutely agree that this team should be way better on offense and needs some personality. Has Ishbia star...

To go as hard as he goes on both ends for that long is wild. Epic durability. Sign me up for his diet and exercise program. The last time LeBron scored single digits, KD was in college.

You guys said it. I'm gonna say it too. We were good in the first quarter. We've been good to start the game a lot this season, mostly when we are able to play fast and play through Nurk. Then teams figure out that it's not too hard to shut down Nurk and our whole energy and style change. It seems l...

Y'all already said it, but it's worth repeating. Really good game from our role players, especially Goodwin. That was one of the best games of his career, and I hope he can keep that swagger. Love the confidence he is playing with right now. The Knicks are really fun to watch. I'm happy that NY has ...
