Yea could be Cam and Mikal too I guess.

Regarding the trade, I don't hate the depth and that's one of the obvious deals to make. I'd rather have Reggie Bullock in place of McGee tho. Another solid wing defender and 3pt shooter with experience.

Biz put up an IG post with #lostsometoxicmembers....maybe Jae? Although I'm sure at least one poster will point to Monty.

Spoiler: show/hide
Could also be the owner who was banned for, among other things, creating a toxic workplace.

I don’t think it’s anything related to teammates or the team in general.

My guess is that he’s referring to asshole fans who pop off on social media when the team loses.

It’s About to Get Incredibly Expensive to Watch Sports
https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment ... r-AA1bzBPI
…Add it all up, and some sports fans might be paying $400-500 a month — or more! — to watch all the sports we could once (mostly) access through a single cable subscription.

Put another way, if you are not currently a sports fan, I have a terrific piece of advice for you: Absolutely do not start watching now. It’s too late for me: I’m way too far down the rabbit hole. But if you’re not into sports already, you should stay away — that is, unless you’ve got limitless disposable income to spare. The high times are over. Save yourself.

I imagine he's frustrated with a lot of things surrounding the team, but venting in front of the media is not his style nor do I think it's the right course of action.

I'm not all worried about Booker. He works his ass off and I have no problem with him being quiet after the season ended because he had nothing to explain. He also seems to have a good relationship with Ishbia.

Bickley is a hack. I won’t listen to him on the radio or read his drivel.

New owner frequently want to bring in their own personnel. So I don;t see this as shocking at all.

That said, if they had made a better accounting of themselves against Denver he might still be here. Probably a slim chance, but a chance.

Agreed. I really didn't get the outrage and the new guy wanting to build it his way, happens all the time when ownership changes.

The big difference between Gambo and Bickley is Gambo has a lot of connections and reports things based on research he has done. Pretty much everything Bickley says is his opinion with pretty much nothing to back it up. Gambo takes notes about every game he watches and makes observations on decades of doing this. I actually like Gambo. Bickley sucks.

It's probably just Gambo's over the top, bravado NY style that puts me off.

There is that, but I think it’s funny. It has mellowed over the years.

I almost always agree with Bickley’s takes. I think he’s being dramatic about Book and wrong.

Gambos a fool who doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. He and I had a back and forth through DMs about the pandemic, and he’s a typical meat head who knows somebody who knows somebody who said something. That helps him in the sports rumor world but makes him particularly dumb in other facets of life as you would expect.

Keep an eye on Corey Joseph. I wouldn't be surprised if the Suns signed him as a free agent.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.
