Anyone else have like 30 tabs open with Suns postmortem articles and like 15 podcasts discussing the same that they just can’t bring themselves to read/listen to for the last month+? Just me?
The upside of being a basketball narcissist, there's no need to read or listen to that stuff because you've already worked through it in your own head.

Why do I need some goofball with a keyboard and a microphone to tell me what I already know? I have phx-suns.net for that.

Is this Sarver trying show he's not a piece of shit? Or is she an actual on the up and up hire? Sucks to even have to question the process.
Ya I was wondering the same…I don’t want to take anything away from Morgan though, regardless she doesn’t deserve to have her hiring questioned.
It is hopefully both. There is no doubt in my mind that this is mainly happening because of Sarver's allegedly toxic work environment for women.
You think we only hired her because of Sarver's toxicity? Not because she is the best candidate for the job?
Nope, like I said, it could be both. They wanted to hire a woman because of the alleged misogyny and she was the best qualified for the job.

What a fucking failure by our government. Just wow. This article left me speechless. I can't even imagine. Griner and her wife are obviously devastated.

"Revenge Tour" is a bullshit term I never want to hear from a Suns player ever again.
Yes please, right next to “Suns in four” from the crowd after just a couple victories.

All due respect to Morgan Cato, but I don't see how she would affect the workplace culture on the non-basketball side of things which is where a lot of the organizational misconduct has been happening.

I hope they do re-sign Ayton. I Call BS on this. But if they do, they desperately need Cam Johnson. If suns can’t knock down their outside shots, Ayton will be toast too in the paint.

I’d be a little bummed if we end up trading a 1st for Gordon this summer. Should’ve done it at the deadline

Would you do Payne, Dario, Craig and maybe future 2nd for Eric Gordon and Kenyon Martin Jr. who asked for a trade recently?

Edit: my thinking was to give Houston straight Cap relief but forgot that all these are expiring contracts anyway so doesn’t really make sense.

CamJ, Dario, Payne and future 2nd for Gordon, Kenyon Martin Jr., 17th pick and 26th pick?

Should be interesting to see which direction the franchise decides to go in over the next two weeks.

I’d pull it. I love Cam J but would take both picks and trade up. There might be a better deal using Cam J though.

Not really sure why Houston would do that, they’d have to value Cam J pretty high

Talk about fucking up chemistry. Imagine if they trade off his best friend. Do you think Mikal is going to be a happy player?

When he sees his paycheck hit, sure. Mikal had a storybook draft night for about 15 minutes then got traded to team that never even worked him out or interviewed him during the pre-draft process. He learned this is a business early on. Honestly, while I’d have no problem trading CamJ, this rumor sounds like bullshit. I think we end up just buying a second rounder when it’s all said and done. I’d be very surprised at big draft move at this point.
