Remember how he said he wanted the superteam to come to him? He wasn’t talking about free agency, folks.

I'm not interested in Ntilikina. Much prefer somebody with a bit more of a pedigree such as McConnell or Dimwiddie.
Ya, kinda where I am at. We have two project pg’s. Not sure what a 3rd project does for us.
Same.

I would like to see us start Bender and Ayton together. I hate how other teams abuse us on the inside. Next game start Jackson, Bridges, Warren, Bender and Ayton.

I'm fairly certain just about everyone on here been saying for weeks that Devin doesn't seem to be 100%.

Fairly big thing that I don't think anyone is talking about: When the Suns fired McD, they also let a number of other front office personnel go, including most of our scouting department. To my knowledge none of those roles have been filled beyond interim hires from existing staff members. Is that not insane? Between that, having only 1/2 2-way deals signed, carrying below the minimum roster requirement for weeks, it's pretty clear Sarver is trying to pinch pennies in any way possible.

That would actually be a sensible thing to do if he were planning to sell, which surely means he isn’t.

He was probably hoping to still help turn the season around. Now he's given up on the season.

This is just ridiculous. He shouldn’t have this high of usage. Booker is not an Ironman nor in that kind of shape. Of course he re-injured his hammy. He’s been a step slow for weeks and handling the ball like James Harden. The front office is to blame and as fans we’re supposed to be made happy simply because we have a number one pick and one max player.

Now what? —Commence Hudson from Aliens speech— JJ, Ariza, Bridges, Ayton, Daniels, Ryan Anderson cannot create shots for themselves and need to be spoon fed to make buckets. Okobo is young and inconsistent. Crawford and Warren are the only players who can score for themselves.

I'm glad Booker is going to take the time to get right. No rush now.

Why should he when Sarver has such a great basketball mind? He took over the 7 seconds or less Nash-led Suns and slowly dismantled them into what we have today. We now have a nice 8 year stretch of playoff-less basketball and we have hit all-time franchise lows. Bravo!
