I spy one Ricky Rubae in that highlight. Sigh. Those were the days.

Rubio was a magician with the ball. He was white chocolate with bball iq and longevity.
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

This seems like a reasonable price for Dillon. Locks him up on a fair contract and keeps him here for several more years. Good news!

Gregory is really doing well with the value of their re-signings this summer.

I'm impressed. I'd be even more impressed if they front loaded the contract.

Ishbia must be extending amazing home loans behind the scenes to some of the players and their families.

Great deal on that Brooks extension. Could have seen easily 30M per and was actually scared he would have forced 35M.
Very pleasantly surprised with how contracts have been managed this offseason.

Agreed. With one notable exception, I am pretty pleased with the Suns' transactions this offseason, particularly when it comes to signing contracts and not overpaying guys based on their value.Ring_Wanted wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2026 3:11 amGreat deal on that Brooks extension.

If not for the Bridges trade I think the off-season has gone better than I could have possibly anticipated.
Man-Man Fan-Fan, Peat is Neat.
Re: Suns News: 2026 Offseason Edition
I agree, but it's a little "other than that, how was Dallas, Mrs. Kennedy?" for me.
The Brooks extension is better than I thought it would be, I just don't think it will age well unless he's willing to drastically change his game.
We really better not extend Bridges until we see how it looks on the floor (and how ready Sheer is to supplant him).
Re: Suns News: 2026 Offseason Edition
Bridges will almost assuredly get extended with his Spartan ties and the sunk cost. Id just hope its no more than a couple of years.

Re: Suns News: 2026 Offseason Edition
I hear you and I also hate the trade; but once it is here, there is also the chance that Bridges plays very good basketball for us. On the other hand, there is no recovering from Mr. Kennedy's lead-induced migraine. Bridges is not lacking talent for sure. Maybe the wrong type of talent considering the rest of the roster, but talent nevertheless. And sometimes, talent trumps other factors.Shabazz wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2026 1:16 pmI agree, but it's a little "other than that, how was Dallas, Mrs. Kennedy?" for me.
