Heck, I would trade this Suns team for the Duke team right now, that's how disgusted I am with this team and their effort.
Duke says no.

All the scouting reports says that RJ Barrett is one of the best passers to come out in recent drafts, yet claim Reddish is the guy with the superior talent who can play as a 6'9 pg. That really confuses me. Who's the better passer between the two?

I've been a Duke fan since '82. I've only been a Suns fan since '90. At least I had the Duke game to get me out of my frustration of the Suns game. RJ Barrett is the best player and will be the #1 pick, imo. Zion is a freak with skill and it's odd to see that he's not even the best player on his team.

I'm a huge Booker fan and I know I should be patient as he's still a little injured. That being said, I was seriously thinking about whether I would trade Booker straight up for Barrett right now. I think he just puts more pressure on the defense and is more impactful on defense and throughout the game.

NOT a good start to the season and we're playing way below expectations. It's one thing to lose. It's another thing to lose without showing effort and pride. I wouldn't be upset if the team were giving their all.

The big question is can they play together. I think so, but probably not as a backcourt; More as a 2-3 combo. Is Booker/Barrett/Bridges a viable 2/3/4 next to Ayton?

Agreed 100%. I really think the vets are holding us back. Get some young legs out there, hungry guys looking to prove themselves like Bridges, Okobo and Holmes. They may lose, but they'll play balls to the wall. It's noticeable when they sub in. Jackson is lost right now and needs to find his game. But Ariza clearly isn't engaged and Anderson looks like a YMCA rec league player.

Sounds good to me. I was actually encouraged by Jackson last night just by the fact that he seemed to be trying to do something different. He didn't just force shots like he had earlier in the season. He's still trying to figure out how he best fits in with the team.

I just watched my first highlights of Zion.

WOW.

He's like a Barkley-Griffin hybrid.

Watching the two handed block and him cupping it and taking it away from Nick Richards with one hand, then pushing it up the floor and throwing the bounce pass to RJ Barrett for an and1 made me lose my mind in real time.

I don't even think we have a FO anymore, it's just Sarver with his hand up JJ's ass telling him what to do. Whoopie.

At this point I'm just waiting for the Booker trade request.
