I finally canceled my Suns Live subscription this month.
I'm close. I don't enjoy watching them at all.

Dunn is a mystery to me. Bud made some comments yesterday that they set their 9 man rotation and focused on players that can contribute on both sides…seems to imply he doesn’t like Dunn on offense. His offense isn’t worse than the defense of most of our rotation guys though.
Dunn needs the reps, and he is one of the few guys who may actually be part of this team's future. Play the man.

Kevin Durant after Suns fall three games under .500 following loss to Spurs.
There was no beauty, dude. Get a grip. I'm glad you enjoy your time out there while getting paid your millions at the expense of us Suns fans.

That quote is so tone deaf. Trade him to the Wizards in the offseason if he appreciates that kind of beauty.

On the one hand I'm numb because I know this team is done (no pun intended) but on the other hand I'm disgusted by how awful we play. It's nothing new, just the same BS we've been talking about for a year and a half. Bud especially is a fraud who's either completely cooked or is just looking for a payout. I can't stand hearing his defeated answers anymore, hearing him start off every reply with "yea ya know....". Just more proof for me that the Bucks won in spite of him, not because of him. Same with Vogel and the Lakers. Obviously it's not just him, but not playing Richards and Dunn when you need rebounding and defense is something the other players notice as well. The players are likely checked out and just finishing out the season, same as last year.
Charlie had an idea I liked. Bring Monty Williams back. That's the last time we played good basketball. Vogel and Bud have been busts. We once brought Cotton back to good effect. On the other hand, I don't know if any coach can light a fire under this collection of players' asses (I refuse to call them a team.) These guys have no pride.

Tone deafness is not new to KD.

Gambo gets it. He's channeling a lot of Phoenix Suns fans here:

Durant's problem is that he engages. Just like on social media.

Sad that a guy with his great stats feels compelled to even give anyone the time of day. Too thin skinned imho.

Where KD sees beauty, I see horrible basketball. I'm going to start laughing at the struggle. It's better than crying. I'm going to marvel at their ineptitude to never improve and keep doing the same things over and over.

Absolutely insane how much we gave up to assemble an 11th seed. Has there been a worse fuckup in the NBA in recent decades?

Actually, I might disagree. They gave up three picks for nothing. We gave up four picks and five swaps for the same. We know what those Nets picks turned out to be, and it’s big, but the same or worse can yet happen to us.

Kevin Garnett averaged 6 and 6 with a 47% TS for the nets over 1.5 years before they just dumped him. Paul Pierce gave them 13 and 4 and walked for nothing after 1 year. Those guys were 36 and 37 when they made the trade and less than 2 years later they decided to tank. Those guys had zero value left.

If we trade KD this summer for Dillon Brooks and no picks, then proceed to give Houston 3 lottery picks, including #3 and #1, then you can say it’s worse.
