Yea that might be a good idea. Just annoying when resting players ruins your team. Injuries are part of the game, but resting in these key weeks is beyond frustrating. Would have liked to see how things would have played out. Best year I've ever had and it will go down in flames quickly haha

Oh that's cool, Middleton is resting tomorrow with a "wrist" injury. Oh well, top seed goes down in an injured heap.

Ugh, why does Embiid have to rest tonight? Should have rested last night when I wasn't playing anyone. Can't wait to lose this week because of resting/illnesses (Smart now out as well).

There is no way Sarver will pay Ayton and Book and Paul all between 30M-40M a year, while paying Mikal and Cam 20-25M each. It just won't happen. Totally agree-there will have to be concessions somewhere, and in that scenario, Cam is a goner. You can't pay everyone, which is a good problem to have ...

I'm dreading giving Ayton a max deal, and that is what it will take because a team will surely max him in FA this summer. I just don't see him becoming much more than he is now. I'd honestly explore a sign and trade if it's max or nothing. Although if we do win it all, I cannot see that happening. I...

According to Shams, the Suns just traded for Aaron Holiday. There's the backcourt help

I say keep as is, it's not going away and we just need to deal with it.

Amazing article from the The Athletic about the SSOL days...still feels like yesterday to me somehow. NBA 75: How the Seven Seconds or Less Phoenix Suns changed the league: ‘We’re about to let it fly like Peyton Manning’ David Aldridge 6h ago 16 HURRY UP OFFENSE EASIEST You get the best shots in fir...

That is a great place to go. Did you ask how many of those 800 made it through the procedure. :P I wasn't comfortable getting my lasik surgery done until I found a guy who had performed it 10s of thousands of time. Mostly successful. :D I had it about 12 years ago, and just this year needed to add ...

Mine is toast too, this entire season is basically pointless now, it's all luck.

Jeez, I read that and audibly gasped, then laughed at the rising star part.

I'm a little disappointed in the article. I was expecting (and hoping) for much worse. This just makes him a despicable human being, but I don't think any of it can make the NBA force him out.

To me, Haliburton was like Booker-such an obvious pick and should have been a no-brainer. Not saying he's at the level of Booker, just that during the draft, it seemed to line up perfectly for need and talent level. Unless his agent really told Jones not to draft him or something. Oh well, nothing w...

Wow, what a waste of a pick. At least pick it up to give a potential trading partner more cost control to try and develop him. I can't recall off the top of my head a top 10 pick being declined before year three. I know there are probably some, but good grief.

I'm not going to defend Robert Sarver. I hate him. I always will. I will defend James Jones. I think he knows what he's doing...I think. Ayton has never played mad. I would like to think they are motivating him to really "become" that max player and seeing if he can play mad. I remember a...

This is a great deal. He was getting at minimum 4/$100 in FA next year and definitely doesn't seem to be the type that will slack off once he gets paid.

Oh course Saver is trying to do the negotiating himself. Of course he is.

I mean, he did negotiate with Dragic directly on his return in a parking garage if I remember correctly....maybe the Ayton scenario will be reminiscent of that and not his other mistakes?

I'll try to stay optimistic here.

Love the deal for Shamet. Now just sign Nerlens Noel as a backup big and get another vet chasing a ring and call it a day. I've seen people saying Payne might get up to $10 million a year...no thanks for that price.

I know it's extremely unlikely, but I would LOVE a Suns sweep. I leave for a trip to Antigua the day of game 5 and would rather not have to watch the games while on vacation on my resort. I'd love nothing more than a Suns in 4, so that I can cry tears of joy and get pants sh*ting drunk in my basemen...

All that person to person contact the Suns had with the crowd did make me a little Covid nervous after Paul got Covid right after their first clinched series and went around hugging everyone. It was reported that he got the positive test the next day so I don’t think it was from that. Yea, there's ...
