Cliff notes?
Typical stuff we've heard from him, all positivity and no concern for the financial cost of winning.

Apparently Joe Tsai called him to initiate the KD deal after Kyrie was traded to Dallas.

He doesn't like Dan Gilbert, which everyone has known, but he wasn't at all afraid of admitting it. :lol:

I recently watched Beef on Netflix. These guys have a beef.

Hopefully that wouldn't stand in the way of any future dealings.

I mean, it probably will, won't it? Gilbert won't want to deal with the guy who is openly dissing him on podcasts. I bet we don't do any kind of trades or deals with Cleveland for some years to come, until maybe Gilbert dies or is out of the picture in some way.

They'll become good buddies in time and Hallmark will make a movie about it.

Normally I would say that is a kiss of death for the Suns but, since the Durant trade CP3 has factored a lot less into the Suns offense anyway.

I think it's crazy to even be hopeful that he'd return a week after the injury. He's 38 years old and couldn't even jog up the court. He'd be out for a month if we were in the midst of the season.

Interesting video about some clever defensive switching Denver is doing to deny us our ball movement. Kind of painful to watch, but I hope the coaching staff is noticing these moves and planned their response.

They'll adjust for 1 quarter then revert to the norm. I'd give my left nut for Ty Lue to be the coach of this squad over Montgomery.
Love, Hurts.

Perhaps even longer. Booker just missed a month and a half with a similar injury.

OK, Jeremy. You can't tell me Jock isn't now your second favorite player on the Suns after that tirade. THAT is a teammate.
