Y'all tried your best to rattle my confidence (
) but he made it through another trade deadline so I'm happy.
Does this remind anyone of Shawn Marion yet? It's gonna be stressful if he's in trade rumors for years lol.
You’re about to go Super Saiyan on us now, aren’t you?

I think our title chances may hinge on which version of Ayton we get the rest of the year.

Which was kind of the case before the trade. Funny.

I don't think we were a contender before the trade.

That is funny and I agree up until the clutch moments.
The Suns were doomed without another guy who could get or create a shot and now that problem has been solved.

I think Book+DominAYTON+Scrimmage Bridges gets out of the West.

Very true. This probably the most important thing about the Durant acquisition. The Suns should be significantly better in crunch time now.

I think our title chances hinge on our Big 4 staying healthy. DA's play in the playoffs is not going to be a concern.

I mean, sure, if every player played at their absolute peak then we'd be in the discussion, but we basically had last year's roster with no Jae, an improved Mikal and a worse CP. I don't think a title was super plausible.

Not every player, just two. And who knows what we could have gotten for Crowder.

Scottie Barnes would like to have a word.

Scottie Barnes spent his entire life in Florida before being drafted.

I thought he was from Jamaica and went to high school in Florida. Turns out it's just his father is Jamaican.
