I just have a feeling that we are targeting Cousins. I hope I'm wrong.
You are.

It sounds like we might be targeting someone. Jones was taking up big man space. Someone with actual skills could fill that space now.

I think we’re just releasing him before his contract guaranteed. His signing was always an agent favor signing I think.

The Suns are the 69th team in NBA history to win back-to back games by 30+ points.

The only team to win three in a row is the 1971-72 Suns. (they won the next game by 20)
Good stuff. It's fun to look back at the ancient history of the franchise like that -- that was a Cotton Fitzsimmons team that would eventually finish 49-33, but miss the playoffs.

Those four wins -- Portland by 36, Golden State home and away on back to back nights by 36 and 33, and then Atlanta by 20 -- finished off an eight-game win streak that took the team from a 7-11 record up to 15-11.

Those were very good, tough teams led by Hawk, Paul Silas, and Van Arsdale, and Cotton was always a great coach.
And don't forget Neal Walk!
And Clem "The Gem" Haskins (Charlie Scott also played six games ...).
Dennis "Mo" Layton was backup point ... he'd been a teammate of future Sun Paul Westphal at USC.

Me, too. Boogie might still have some talent, but he's not exactly Mary Poppins in the locker room ... :?

Don't look now, but my guy Bridges is averaging the same PPG as DA (3rd on the team) with the highest eFG% and TS% on the team. Bridges is only 3 blocks behind DA, and is also second on the team in rebounds. The assists are pretty good, and he has one of the lowest TO% on the team.

I can't say enough about how much I like Mikal's game. He loves to compete, and you can tell that he's just out there having fun with the challenge every night. I hope this guy retires a Sun.
Oh, now he's your guy?!
