Gary Bender: "All of a sudden TJ Warren is available for game 82. But what's this? Coach Koko is REFUSING to play him opting instead for the recently signed Carmelo Anthony who will start at PG tonight."
LOL. New Suns starting lineup:

Melo
Jimmer
Booker
Jackson
Warren

5 chuckers in one lineup. Championship, baby!

Make or break offseason for Book I think. I'd be surprised if he asked out right after the season given the young guys, draft pick, capspace. If we screw the pooch with those things (not re-signing Oubre, messing up the pick, signing another Ariza-type vet) I could see him asking out end of summer.

Wouldn't be surprised of anything tho, regardless. And I wouldn't blame him for asking out.

I don't want to hear a peep out of Booker about wanting out during this contract. He knew full well how bad Sarver is and how bad the team is and he could have waited another year for his contract extension in order for them to have more cap space to find him more help, but he didn't.

And if you accept the big contract extension (like Davis did in New Orleans) I think you have an obligation to honor it.

Enough to keep him on the air for a very long time, it would seem.

Make them pay income tax on it. Other than that, who cares?

Given the timing, I don't think anybody really gives a lot of credence to anything Michael Avenatti has to say. He just got arrested for fraud and extortion charges.

Yeah, for trying to extort Nike about *this*.

Here comes another one. I almost wish Booker didn't score 59 points that night. Guess we should suck as a team without exception.

People just love to hate and complain. 'Stat padding'. Booker sat 7 minutes and the Suns were 2-22. They were double and triple teaming him. The best defense in the NBA. Give me a break. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a guy riding his own hot hand when surrounded by trash in a terrible season. Fvck off.

I think Windhorst has a balanced view, but ultimately I side more with Jackson. It is bad for the culture to go stat-chasing when you're getting blown out.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

It's kind of pathetic actually.

I still enjoy watching when Mark Cuban went on the show and ripped Skip Bayless for blowing hot air, I can't stand either one of them.
