I didn't enjoy the game at all. The better team won. The Suns have a ways to go...

I feel like, if he is going to play, he has to share the backcourt with another point guard. For example, run him with Jerome, but have Jerome be the primary ball-handler/facilitator.
You're not getting KAT without giving up Ayton. End of story.Vladimir_Taltos wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 7:22 pmTrade Idea (probably crazy)
KAT for...
Tyler Johnson (exp. contract)
Cam Johnson or Mikhail maybe?
Our 2020 first round, the Bucks first round, 2020 second round and 2022 first and second rounder?
Just a thought...the idea of KAT + Devin + Ayton sounds interesting...

I was somewhat encouraged by those two as well. Some small signs but good ones for both of them.
I’m Australian. I believe his relatives are in NZ or in large cities. He’s doing what he can to help. I would think it wouldn’t have much impact on his play.Wally_West wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:02 pmI know Baynes has been bad but I do wonder how much what is currently happening in Australia is affecting him. This has to be rough.
I think the World Cup and his heavy minutes early in the season is catching up with himvirtual9mm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:41 pmBaynes is a pro. I suspect that he is not physically healthy.
How are you doing? Are you still in Australian or are you in the states?Danimal wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 3:02 amI’m Australian. I believe his relatives are in NZ or in large cities.

Oubre has been our second best player all season and has had way more "on" games than "off." Last night's game was a rare one in which he didn't positively contribute. It is false to say that he is "trash" every other game.Danimal wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 2:56 amThat’s textbook oubreAmareIsGod wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 7:53 pmOubre was trash tonight.

Completely agree. It's more like 6-7 good games per dud. But last night was the dud. I'm team Oubre.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 8:54 amOubre has been our second best player all season and has had way more "on" games than "off."

Yeah, was thinking the same thing. When he's bad, he's real bad. More reaching than normal on D. We'll have to monitor his ups and downs now that he's been linked to Kendall Jenner. That whole family is quite a distraction. Hopefully Kelly can still focus on basketball.The Bobster wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 10:02 amWhen Oubre has a bad game it's really bad though.
Considering that he only cost us half a season of Ariza, we have to be really pleased with the trade that brought him here.
Harper and Owens are on two-way deals. Lecque is on a standard contract.djy2j wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 10:51 amYeah, was thinking the same thing. When he's bad, he's real bad.

The bigger problem has been Monty's lack of adjustments from game to game. Or should I say adjustments that haven't really worked.
Also, James Jones should see what kind of team this is by now. Tyler, Carter, Jerome, Diallo are 4 guys who do nothing for this team. Saric is slowly approaching that list. Frank is hurt but has been overall a net negative. Harper and Lecque are in the G League. Jerome gets a pass, Harper and Lecque are 2 way deals. We just have too many roster spots tied up in players who do nothing for this team. This needs to change ASAP.
When he’s bad, it’s apparent early. He should get pulled.The Bobster wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 10:02 amWhen Oubre has a bad game it's really bad though.
