Marty, do we have a way to imbed instagram video into a post?
Hey, I think I got it working! And what's more, I think I now have it working so that embedding media will work even without using a special tag. I found an extension that seems to be grabbing normal URLs in a post and redirecting them to embed the relevant video. Should work for YouTube, tweets, Instagram, Streamable, etc. Yay!

For all you Trae Young haters and doubters that thought it would be dumb to try to trade up to get him, what did you think of his line vs Cleveland?

I dont watch much non Suns NBA nowadays, I dont know what he did, but from your tone it was probably good. Neat.
👀 Fire Frank Vogel.

He did what all chuckers do, have occasional good nights when they’re hitting. Just like BK

We should be able to get Jeremy Lin for basically nothing if we wanted to. I think he's better than Canaan by quite a bit. However, I am not sure how we'd fit his $12M salary. I'm usually up on our cap situation but I haven't paid much attention to it since last season.

Hard to do without including Chandler. I wouldn't trade Warren and no chance Atlanta would take Anderson. I guess maybe Troy Daniels plus dragan Bender might get close.

OKC lost to Sacramento by 11 at home. I watched most of the first half and it looked like a pick up game. I'm really wondering when this massive pace increase across the league will start to come down because I think it clearly hurt OKC tonight.

Len lays down 16 points, 11 boards, 4 blocks, and 4 assists on the Cavaliers.
Not surprising. He's a solid center. I saw some of that game. Atlanta was on fire. Trae Young actually (finally) looked good. Bembry and Bazemore lit the Cavs up.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Trae Young is the 5th rookie with at least 35 points and 10 assists in a game over the last 25 seasons, joining Steph Curry, LeBron James, Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd.
I hate when they manufacture stats like this. People use to do this Eric Bkedsoe all the time.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

I think OKC is in trouble. Billy Donovan's days as their coach are numbered.

I wish we'd have kept Len over Chandler. Ho hum.

It sure looked like he wasn't doing much coaching tonight.

Mike McCoy could do wonders for their offense

This is going to end up being one of the deepest drafts all time. I have no regrets the suns picking Ayton, Bridges, and Okobo. Good for Young. He can pass, shoot, and drive. It wouldn’t have worked with him and Booker.

I can probably count on one hand the amount of times Brandon Knight had a 10 assist game with the Suns. Trae just did it in his first week in this league.

It's beyond insulting to compare Trae to Knight. Might as well start comparing Ayton to Biyombo too then?

He can't be traded for a few months I believe.

De'Aaron Fox has improved his game quite a bit. Could've been a great fit next to Booker in the backcourt as he seems to be improving the 3pt shot as well.
