Phx-Suns.Net

Supermax-extending Booker is not a bad move. He is still very highly valued around the league. We want to keep him here and keep him happy. And if it doesn't work out, he will be extremely tradeable. the phx suns failed beyond anyone's wildest imagination, paired with a hall-of-famer still in top ...

now Barkley's on board with trading Booker because it would be best for Suns and best for Booker's championship aspirations. Booker's priority, however, seems to be the money. Him, his agent, and Ishbia likely agreed to the contract extension before the trade deadline -- the dump Durant campaign ...

thank you. That's even more than i asked for a breath of fresh air dealing with the facts and we actually agree. aside from some details, you and i and dunksandthrees concur: It ranks Booker as the 15th most effective offensive player this year(97th percentile) and near the bottom defensively(8th ...

the best argument for trading Booker is that not one poster in a Suns forum has anything intelligent and on-topic to say about Booker's season stats? Plenty of intelligent and on topic stuff has been said…problem is you think anyone who disagrees is a dumb dumb. It’s pointless to try and converse wi ...

This whole thread is just silly. I'm stuck between cringing and laughing. It's a very awkward look.

well, you're half right.

how about contributing a comment about Booker's season stats instead of starring at the car wreck as you drive by?

1tinsoldier and Jeremy hating on Booker nonstop but never saying anything bad about Ayton ever. newsflash: Ayton hasn't been a Sun for 3 years, Obama's been out of office for most of Booker's career and this thread is not about them, or me or Jeremy the best argument for trading Booker is that not ...

Jesus. Okay won't be back in this thread

terrific, i don't need to be wasting time with any more agitators who choose to take issue with me instead of debate the issue at hand

especially those who completely ignore facts, stats, and other evidence

imo, you're lying to me and yourself

You and I are done, sir. I stopped reading there. Consider yourself blocked.

well that's one way around stats and evidence
good day, sir

There’s an old saying…. You catch a lot more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. i'm not trying to catch flies. i'm trying to swat them away with reason. as a former teacher i'm compelled to ask people to be critical thinkers -- to think for themselves rather than be mislead by emotional irr ...

I'm just going to hope for the best... And I do love that Booker loves it here and wants to be here imo, you're lying to me and yourself you know Booker knows he stands to lose up to 100 million dollars (over 4 years) by moving to another team that doesn't value his home-grown, built-in fan base ...

Bro. It's just entertainment. Take a deep breath. i review movies and music all the time too, bro how about you or any other fanboy commenting on the facts/stats instead of worrying about me? or do you take your bouncing ball heroes so serious that it makes you too nervous to read the facts and ...

the propaganda is so effective that, immediately following Booker's revealing facts/stats, we have an alleged "Suns fan through and through" celebrating a commitment to lock him into the NBA's highest salary ever! that means that Booker will be making about $25,000 per on-court minute to lead the ...

and it isn't just Booker's defense that's a drag on the team (worst rated defender in Sun's history). His offense alone is an overall negative. THE SUNS SHOOT BETTER AS A TEAM THAN BOOKER (48% to 45%) -- so they're better off when he doesn't shoot. It does help teammates when he's double-teamed. But ...

Interesting….. my only argument would be that a players values aren’t directly 50% offense and 50% defense. Some players are just poor defenders but stellar offensively. i'm not saying players are 50/50. I'm saying the value of a player or team's defense is as valuable as their offense, but ignored ...

the stats are in: Devin Booker 2024-2025 Season OFFENSE RANKING ( 50% of a players value ) 12 th in points 15 th in assists 239 th in shooting percentage 307 th in 3pt percentage 107 th offensive rating 289 th clutch rating (33%, 18% 3pt. 7 career game winning shots- very low for a team's #1 option ...

Just wanted a poll. We don’t need another discussion.

Is it possible to lock a thread without locking the poll?

don't worry about it.
it's just more complaints despite it being a perfectly valid poll and it being impossible to start a poll without starting a thread

on sports radio, Wolf said he could make the case (for the Suns org, obviously) that the whole problem with the Suns was Bud

now, that's funny

You grind that axe buddy. 😂 oh, and why don't you address the axe that fell on 7 coaches in Booker's 10 years? and mgmt and 50 or so players i'd say the AXE cuts both ways but it didn't since the culture of the Suns org started prioritizing marketing over product quality and fanboys lapped it up li ...

here's another axe grind in 11 seasons, the only 2 successful ones was when Booker-ball was replaced with Paul-all the last 2 was a combo of Booker-ball and KD-ball that featured isolation plays in the clutch and the evidence is the team going from the best clutch team in basketball under Chris Paul ...
