Thanks WP.

Was thinking it's been just about a month since Green went out with his hammy. They said he'd be reevaluated in 4-6 weeks so maybe we get an update sometime this week.

Also saw Ott say there was hope Book would be back for Wednesday's game. Would be great to get him and Green back soon so we can get back on track and really hit our stride after the New Year.

Hopefully if he was going to be back for wednesdays game they sit him and give him one EXTRA game off. That'll do the trick

For Jalen hopefully they sit him for 6 weeks and ONE MORE GAME after

Something to watch for - since coming back from injury, Grayson is 4-22 from 3. Missing all that time really threw him off and got him out of rhythm. Confident he'll get it going at some point and we'll be that much more dangerous with him bombing away.

Every game I laugh and says he looks like a random guy you see shooting around in the gym and someone says he's in the League and everyone is like Nahhh man, he's too small and never heard of him
Then he cooks everyone not breaking a sweat lol



He's been great, like Collin he also never gets too excited or anything. Just hooping 8-)

Yeah, it's crazy how solid he's been! Our talent scouts have been on fire as of late. Really happy for this guy and all his hard work is paying off and he's playing better than anybody could expect. No training camp? No problem. It's like he's been here from the beginning.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Maybe the least NBA-player looking NBA player.

You guys discuss this yet? https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/472 ... ake-filing

It does sound like Ishbia was doing something shady and may ultimately pay the price for it if the minority owners get a friendly judge.
Go Suns!

I don't believe it. Billionaires never do anything shady.

Id only consider this if it’s Royce, Richards, NHD. That’s it.

An healthy JG fills the 3pt gravity, Royce brings.

Don’t even want to add a 2nd to this tho. Rather just trade Royce for draft assets than to even attach a 2nd for Kuminga.

Sign Boo-fucking-yeah and Livers to standard deals.


Book-JG-Brooks-Kum- Mark Williams

Gilly-Goody-Grayson-Dunn-Fleming?-Oso


Booyay, Livers, Man Man

Still have a roster spot if anyone interesting becomes available.

I feel like Ott can get Kuminga in good spots. Something about this HC is giving me lots of Spo vibes.

Are you sure you want Kuminga? He had a nice start to the season for literally 10 days, and he's really fallen off since then. He is currently averaging pretty pedestrian stats: 12.4 points on 44/32/74 splits (oof), 6.3 reb (that's high for him), 2.6 ast. Contract-wise he's making $22m this season and $24m the next. He's only 23, so there may still be room for him to grow. But he's had a lot of chances in Golden State and really hasn't broken out.

I kind of think I would rather have Royce O'Neale and Richards than Kuminga, especially given the salaries? If we throw any picks at him I will have an aneurysm.

I'm not sure how much I would trade for Kuminga, but he's on a team friendly deal, and I absolutely believe Kerr just doesn't like him. He really needs a change of scenery

Obviously it depends on the price, but the talent and age combo is more than what's gonna be available to the Suns in the draft for the next 6-8 years or so. Gotta take shots at talent when you can, especially if you're not committed long term initially.

7-2 after tomorrow, obviously, and then 8-2 whether it's the Spurs or Lakers after that. :lol:

I don't really expect them to beat OKC tomorrow, but I hope they do. There's guys on the squad that could really use the extra Christmas bonus money from moving on in the tourney.
