The thing that is the most shocking is that it happened so suddenly. With zero leaks.
James Jones is the quiet assassin.
I’ve been sniffing this out since yesterday 😤

Fuckin knew something was up man with all those random Woj tweets about KD lol
I'm honestly impressed, Wally. Your never wavering faith was starting to wear me thin. :lol:


You know what they say about broken clocks lol

Seems like pretty much everyone needs to eat some crow. Of course not everyone is satisfied... :?
I hope he's got more coming, but as the resident JJ hater, this definitely gets a well at least he's trying something from me.
Totally fair.

It's the handwringing over the deal minutia that is wild to me. This team has never won a title and never been closer (in February) than they are right now.
If we would have been able to hang onto Bridges it would have been a grand slam.

They've definitely got a shot, I worry about the defense and health of the stars, but the quadrant is better than any other in the league.
Love, Hurts.

Ya this deal you do every time…KD is literally an MVP level guy. Booker is now our 2. We have easily the best 1-2 punch in the league. This gives us a shot at the title…can’t be scared and hold onto a 2nd round exit team.

Instead it's a three-run homer.

Let's be real. It was either Ayton or Bridges. Everyone has their favorite, but losing either creates some issues that need to be solved.

Okay, so Booker, CP3, Ayton, and now Durant.

I'm happy. Just hated to lose Bridges. Damn!

I don't think the national media can ignore us any longer now that we have KD.

The main worry here is that 3 of our top 4 guys have had nontrivial injuries already this year. Hope they can all get/stay healthy for the playoffs.

Poor Cam Johnson. Can't get no love. I was a big fan. Just needed to improve his consistency.

It'll be interesting to see how we perform up to the all-star break down two starters. I'm guessing Warren will start for us in the meantime. Any chance this moves Durant's timetable up?

I had resigned to the idea that he was gone after this season because he'd be too much of a financial luxury for the Suns to retain.

We just went through this last month. In short, it doesn't matter.

Be healthy 3 weeks before the playoffs start.

Side note, TJ Warren comes back to Phoenix.

He was p!ssed when he got traded for nothing. Any thoughts on that ?

As long as we can stay in contention with decent positioning in the meantime.

Top 6 is all I care about. I don't want to screw around with the play-in.

Like Isaiah Thomas said, I think the new ownership changes everything. It has to be water under the bridge for a lot of guys.
