Overrated.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

That Suns team last season could have found ways to lose even if the other team physically didn’t show up. Give me a break.

I think Igor himself adds 5 wins to the record, if not more. Actual coaching, better sets, hopefully some accountability. Guys play harder when they believe they can win. Only question is whether the FO will get in the way in terms of roster and personnel.

That’s not Durant, it’s just some guy who stayed up late watching the NBA on his phone.

I hope Booker made a lasting bond with KD; like a 4 year lasting bond with him...

Are We Sure … That Devin Booker Is a Franchise Player?

The Suns made Booker the first max player of the 2015 draft class. Can he live up to the expectations that come along with all that cash?
There is already a lot of hate going towards the author from all of the booker-stans, but you can't argue with anything in that piece.
C’mon, Indy. I know you can argue almost anything.

Plus Booker didn’t even play the final 25 games.

:D We've done this dance before and it always ends with Cap posting the Python argument clinic sketch which is a true comedy classic.

Thanks, Cap. Just watched it again for the umpteenth time and also showed it to my 79YO mother.

The most obvious sign that the FO is counting on Knight to be the starting PG on opening day:

Suns FO must be crossing their fingers so hard on Knight that it's leaving bruises. We'll need to look elsewhere if this team is going to be relevant.

Browsing Instagram. Reed has a nice training workout vid of him working on off the dribble moves.

Suns had a video with of Chriss doing charity work. His body looks in shape but his face looks Pudgey.
No vids from T.J. of him working on his 3. Boo!


What?... it’s August what the hell else am I meant to do?!

I know nothing about Alexey Shved, but this was Suns related--I wonder if Igor wanted to bring him in.

For a short time, Shved looked like he might blossom into a solid rotation player or even a young star. But then he fell off the map. What happened with him? Was it a lack of shooting or athleticism? The article says he led the entire Euroleague in scoring. Seems like he'd make it on an NBA roster.
