There’s been a ton of roster turnover so I don’t think Ish is going anywhere now. I think he’s someone who can really help Bazley figure it out.

STANDINGS WATCH: Suns sit at #5, tied with the #4 Mavs by record at 31-27. We're 2 games behind #3 Sacramento, and 4.5 games behind #2 Memphis, and 8.5 games behind #1 Denver. Pelicans have already dropped to 7th in the West, behind us. Many teams still have a shot at the play-in, down to the #13 Lakers who are 2 games back from the #10 seed.

Yea I don't know that Green has anything left. No interest in Stanley Johnson.
Better than Ish.
Nah.
Yeah. Ish stinks, he shouldn't even be in the nba.
If you haven't noticed, he's getting better and better every day.

Now that we've informally agreed to sign Ross, we don't have a spot for these guys unless we shank Ish Wainwright or cut somebody like Shamet. Shamet is expiring, right? I would not be opposed to cutting / buying out his worthless ass if Ishbia is okay with paying the bill.
I think we should also then kick him to the ground and spit on him.

Things you can bet on ...

The sun came up this morning, there's a shitload of snowbirds in Phoenix, and Zion is hurt, again.
Window is open again ... blue skies ahead?

I disagree, TOO. I think his defense is underrated and I don’t cringe when he shoots 3s. He did a nice job against Tatum in the Boston game and I like having someone like him to throw at the bigger wings we’ll face in the playoffs.

Stanley is only 26, he’s big, he defends. He averaged
13/7/5 per-36 and shot 53/45/68 with a .625 TS%

I would definitely look at him, but I figure he’d go somewhere with more of an opportunity. He’s a better version of Craig/Ish to me though. I get valuing continuity though. He played last year with the Lakers, I could see him going back there.

Ish per-36: 10/5/2 and shoots 39/35/81 for a .542 TS%

He’s also 2 years older.

How do you shoot 45% on 3's, but only 68% on free throws??

That's kinda a red flag to me

Small sample size…only 39 ft attempts and 40 3pt attempts. He’s a career 75% ft shooter and 31% 3pt shooter.

Ask Joe Tsai to get Ishbia on board 😜

If we were in a different place as a franchise, I’d be all over this.
