He's gonna get that random Bruce Brown contract from someone.
He'll definitely get a nice raise in the Summer, but I have my doubts about it being a 200% raise unless he performs like Brown did in the WCF and Finals for the Nuggets last Spring.

Regardless, he'll be out of the Suns range unless they shuffle the deck quite a bit.
We have a range?
That's a good question, if you look at the Beal deal you say no, if you look at the Ayton deal, you say maybe?

If it was to save money (letting Allen walk after a year), I'll be even more pissed.

Look at us, agreeing on something. Tis the season.

But not surprising based on what we've seen. Melted down the last two in the fourth and obviously, the first Spurs game.

I don’t think it’s an overreaction to be concerned about this problem.

I think the overreaction is thinking our offense is broken and without any flow. I do agree that it’s run into some issues in the 4th Q…but most of that happened with just KD in the lineup 5 games with just KD, 2 games with KD/Book and 2 games with KD/Beal.

I don’t have the numbers, but I’d bet the 4th Q numbers from the KD with Book/Beal are just fine. And probably very good if you don’t count the Bulls game where Beal was clearly gassed.

It’s also a small sample size that can be greatly impacted by a few games.

The first Laker game is probably killing us in the numbers. Also I checked and we played the bench the whole 4th against Utah and did not do well.

It’s something to work on for sure, but I’m not going to get too concerned until we see it regularly with our team healthy. And I doubt we do.

Yes! Should be an exciting game. Maybe they all rest.

Great to hear Al McCoy still doing radio commercials (just heard one for Operation Santa Claus on the Cardinals radio network).

These days, he’s probably just licensing his voice to an AI.

(And by “these days,” I mean about five years from now.)

I'll be 40 in about a week. It's just part of getting old(er). Fleeting optimism.

Congrats in advance, AiG. I'm 44 myself and wondering where the time went. (It went to my 3.5 kids.)
