There is one constant from then, it rhymes with Kevin Looker.
Heaven’s hooker. She’s great, but she saps your energy.

It's Kevin Durant. Too fucking cool for school.he is a parasite.
It happened when he was on the bench in this one…

I’m not actually that worried about this one…ya it’s lame they let up and let Washington back in it..but even the best teams do that. I don’t think that specifically speaks to anything. They thought Washington would pack it up and they didn’t.

We played great for 3 quarters…but it was against the wizards..one of the worst teams in awhile…so I’m not taking anything from that either. Show me something against Detroit or better yet, Cleveland.
He's a parasite. His "chill" vibes have infected the locker room. I just want a CP3 locker room back.
Yep, I actually think that is the main problem with this team and has been ever since he arrived. He isn't a leader but his 'aura' has an impact on the players around him who seem to favour his 'chill lax' approach to the game over anything they are being instructed to do but Bud or Vogel before him. I won't be sorry to see him leave when he finally starts pouting and gets traded.

I think this is another example of Tyus being expendible. Morris can bring the same thing. I'd look to move Tyus for picks. Maybe to Detroit or Orlando where they could use some veteran stability.
Exactly my thinking....how much of a dropoff would it really be if you took Tyus off the team and gave his minutes to Monte? You can probably get a few seconds for Tyus, and the Suns don't have Bird rights anyways, so he will walk in FA. Accumulate as many assets as you can, this team is clearly going nowhere.

Man I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the suns front office to hear their views on the teams place and trajectory…. Something tells me they’re idea of where they are and our opinion are vastly different. I feel they think they’re really close, while the rest of us know they need to blow it up. We’re barely competing against sub .500 teams and no way we can hang with the elite, deeper teams.

Do that and you can kiss goodbye any free agent doing you any favors in the future. And you need both of Tyus and Monte. This team is not lacking talent, it’s lacking chemistry and drive. Rosterbating isn’t going to solve the problem. It’s up to the front office, coaching and the stars to correct the vibes.

I think a guy like James Jones knows the score but Ishbia either thinks this team is close to contending or won't swallow his pride and take the hit.

I think you’re pretty dead on… I like Ishbia’s fire, and desire to be great and don’t want to knock all the good he’s done but wish he’d leave the decision making to the people he’s hired to do those jobs. Still hoping for some miracle moves to salvage the season and at least get us pointed in the right direction

Guys, don't worry. We may look like a completely broken and hopeless team. But tomorrow we are getting the backup center from the Charlotte Hornets!

I hate to say it, but I'm ready to trade everyone and start over...but, I don't trust the front office and their draft talent evaluations just yet. Sure, Dunn and Oso look good, but it's just one draft and neither of those players are ones to build around.

Sometimes all they need is a chance.

I remember we traded and All-Star to Cleveland and they sent us their backup point guard, center and small forward. That turned out to be Kevin Johnson, Mark West and Tyrone Corbin.

Even if he's only West or Corbin level good it's a big win.

Don’t forget the pick that ended up being Dan Majerle.

Also a pick swap that turned into Dan Majerle, who was a backup for us.
