That team was unlikable and fairly bad at basketball. This team is just fundamentally awful aside from 2 players. For Christ's sake we started Monroe & Chandler last night and wonder how we were down almost 30 by halftime. What happened to the defined roles and accountability that Triano promised?Superbone wrote:Come on now.

Were not bad enough. I need us to be worse, or significantly better. If we get a 6th-14th pick, I'll be very upset.

I think we're probably the 5th worst team. Let's just hope this is the year we finally jump into the top 3. I feel really good about Doncic, Ayton, and Bagley

true. and it's not just the starting lineup.Gladiator wrote:I think it's because no one else can shoot consistently from outside. I mean that starting line-up had no other outside threats apart from him, so you don't really need to defend anyone else on the perimeter.carey wrote:Booker just notched his 3rd straight game of shooting 33% or less from the field. Something is up with him and I'm not sure it's entirely just that no one else can score consistently.
SB, i need to buy a few vowels. can you help me out?Have already forgotten about the M****** B****** years?

The Suns have four players making $10 million+. Knight, who is basically untradable right now, Dudley, Chandler and Monroe.
Monroe I can understand keeping since he's got an expiring contract. Dudley and Chandler need to me moved for whatever they can get, as long as they're getting expiring contracts in return. There is not really much point to having them here taking up minutes. This team is going nowhere fast.

Dudley's part of the future, either as coach or FO exec. He should be a lifer here.

You think two teams below us are going to jump us in the lottery? I don't know the exact odds, but I'd guess something like 30% top 3, 40% 5th, 25% 6th, and 5% 7thJCSunsfan wrote:That would put us picking about 7.Split T wrote:I think we're probably the 5th worst team.

Edit: looked it up
30% top 3
26% 5th
36% 6th
8% 7th

I think JC was just referring to the Suns luck of never moving up and always moving down in the draft.Split T wrote:You think two teams below us are going to jump us in the lottery?
