I don’t believe this at all.

I believe this. Four is too many if they are also including assets like Ayton and Cam Johnson. Those two are worth 4 late first round picks by themselves.

If that's all it takes, then why were the Lakers and Nets not contenders last season? How did the Nuggets do with the reining MVP?

The Suns are a contender without him. Don't gut the team.

The KD trade demand was not a surprise, nor his interest in the Suns. I'm not convinced there is a trade that works and makes sense. Gutting the Suns might make the trade work, but does it really make them better? It didn't work for the Nets when they acquired Kyrie, KD and Harden. I would support a...

B) We just say this team go from Finals meltdown after getting by 3 straight teams without their best (or 2nd best) player, to taking too many games to get by the 9 seed, then giving up in a Game 7 in the 2nd round. That doesn't feel like regression to you guys? We are absolutely not going in the u...

I just don't buy the "this team has peaked" narrative. We had the best record in the history of the franchise last season. We went to the Finals the season before that. We had a rough out from the playoffs this year, partly due to a hidden COVID outbreak on the team right before Game 7. W...

I vaguely recall the Booker/Ayton thing reported, but it still sounds minor and probably not that unusual for players. Ayton not talking to anyone from the Suns (management/staff) sounds like a good negotiating tactic that should be expected.

Moving Crowder makes some sense to me. It's time to let Cam Johnson start. Jae has been great for us, but he's getting older, he makes a decent amount of money, and he still has value around the league. We can't really get value back for him if we don't trade him this year. Would love to keep him b...

If an employee says they want to quit to go work for a competitor, and you say, but I will give you 3% more per year to try and keep them... not a smart move. Let the person leave and wish them success. They clearly don't want to be there. Paying extra for a disgruntled employee only hurts morale a...

I think we'll keep him, having forced to match an unfavorable offer sheet, which will also make him unlikely to be traded till next season. Yep, if they match an offer they can't trade him without his consent for a year. Base year makes it complicated anyway. As I understand it, they can't trade hi...

I predict the Suns ultimately sign Ayton. They clearly don't see him as a max player (and I can't fault that logic), but I don't see a deal that makes the Suns a better team. In my mind, the Suns are working toward the 4 year, 5% raise max that other teams can offer rather then the 5 year 8% max the...

from the media guide:

Landry Shamet (return to competition reconditioning) is probable; missed last 3
games

Shouldn't he at least miss a game for "return to competition reconditioning?"

https://twitter.com/KellanOlson/status/1339437613904613376?s=20 This really stood out to me while watching the game and hadn't yet seen anyone mention it. What also stood out was that the guards (mostly Paul) actually were feeding Ayton when he did this. It felt like Ayton was featured more promine...

I really love this video and love seeing it when the Suns win, but...

Can someone explain why the Gorilla and Booker are holding sunscreen? Isn't sunscreen to the Suns like kryptonite is to Superman? Why is Devin holding kryptonite?
