Wow, I finally heard the audio and Rankin had it right, Kellan Olson had it wrong. Jones actually said: "We're going to keep it together." Not "want to," not "try to." He didn't leave any wiggle room for getting out of that later. Hmmm.
Seems like GM speak to me, I don't think he'd go out and say they are looking to shake it up, that would just put people on edge.

And here you were worried all this time. It's all good.

Publicly it makes sense to say what he said.

Privately, I hope he knows "continuity + Dario" is not the answer.

Well, I think he answered that last year when we added Shamet, McGee, and eventually Biyombo.

I mean just adding Dario to last year's group. He had a quote to that effect.

I urge you guys to all listen to Kellan eviscerate the Suns front office. Quite enjoyed them constantly rolling their eyes at James Jones' comments on the Arnovitz article. https://omny.fm/shows/empire-of-the-sun ... y-about-it

You’re kidding right. That’s junk. We were all looking for a bigger splash using the full mle and then acquiring Gordon at deadline

If this PF stuff is even a little bit true, it would drive me insane if I were Ayton's coach.

He’d fit well next to AD, they can both claim to be the PF and that the other one is the C

At least AD dribbles.

Ayton is the most center player ever to claim to be a PF. He’s fine defensively but on offense he’s not even close.

We’re not winning a title with Lebron. Let’s just set that straight.

Depends on what we give up…If it’s just Ayton and picks I think we’d have a better team than last year…pretty easily better imo…but that’s no gaurantee of anything

You swap Jae for Bron and Ayton for whatever they slide in there, add on the fringes and I think they've got as good a shot as anyone. LeBron was still top 5 last year in the league.
