"Are you hoping that changes soon?" "I'm here."

In other words, if he wants to talk to me I'm here. This is on Monty.
Jeremy, I am shocked you came to that conclusion.

I think it’s on both of them
They are both grown ass men. Having said that, Monty is the coach and leader. Maybe he wants Ayton to get angry. I don't know. Let's see how it plays out.

More audio just now. Monty says very angrily: "Our fanbase should be happy." :lol:

Maybe we should just do a 1 year tank, get a high pick, trade CP3 and Ayton and build around Booker/Bridges /CamJ and whatever we get in the draft/trades
Booker isn’t going for that. It’s compete or not at all at this point. If it all goes to pot, I hope we can send DA for SGA.
I was just joking, we’re obviously not tanking.
Lol. I’m very vulnerable rn.
Aren't well all. From GM, Coach, players, all the way down to us fans.

Well the Danish podcaster wouldn't be surprised if Monty isn't the Suns coach in 12 months, so that definitely means something.

If neither have reached out, I would say it is mostly Monty. But we don't know if either tried.

But Gambo's "kid" comment is so funny. Isn't DA older than his wife?

Agreed. Maybe this does finally get us different results. But I am not holding my breath. If DominAYTON finally is a permanent resident of this team, then great. But if not, we now only have ourselves to blame. Should have just signed and traded him to Indiana.

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

Oh my God, everybody is overreacting to every single thing is portrayed by the media... people entering left, exiting right, oh my God. Sports media is having a field day with all those Suns fans wanting to find a reason to panic.

I know we are in a very rough spot, with lots of uncertainty, but we are not even inside the team, imagine how all those guys are feeling right now, being actually on the middle of several scandals going on. Just because they earn millions and act like all mighty, it's also actually true that they are also mature and emotionally grounded people, Monty included (perhaps he was the one needing a huge time out after his game 7 fiasco and just recently returned to planet earth, just to find himself in the middle of yet another Sarver crisis plus Crowder, plus Ayton.

I don't blame Crowder on wanting to maximize his earnings, it's the same reason that had him leaving Miami for Phoenix, it's just that we were in the opposite side of the play. Of course I dislike it, but I got why he issued his ultimatum via social media, as he probably felt blocked out with the team on the middle of bigger issues. It's not unusual that hard working people feel entitled to a bigger leverage that they truly have, and coming back to earth is hard.

Still, right now we have a bunch of very kinetic people tight as hell in the middle of a very anxious situation, but once the ball is bouncing, most of them will run after it, and let behind this moment. Just remember how a year ago Ayton was denied his money, every move he made was over analyzed, and still, he was able to play through it, this year even Booker said as much, the man got his money and that weight out of his shoulders, so he is ready to go, and watching Ayton coming in such great shape, I think we will get at least the same old same Ayton.
So, just shut up and dribble? ;)

99% more likely that Ayton is traded than Monty leaving 12 months from now. That’s s completely nonsensical thing to say.

At this point, I would not be upset if the new owner brings in a new GM and coach. That's probably the only way to repair things with Ayton at this point--if the new owner likes him and wants to commit to him.
Give me a break.
