Anyone know when media day is ?

Looks like we report 5 days earlier than most other teams because of our travel and games in China.

https://www.nba.com/news/key-dates

Sept. 23: Media days for teams traveling outside of North America for 2025 Preseason: Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, New Orleans Pelicans, Phoenix Suns

Sept. 24: Training Camps open for all teams participating in preseason games outside North America (Nets, Knicks, 76ers, Pelicans, Suns)

Oct. 10 & 12: 2025 Preseason: NBA China Games | Nets vs. Suns | The Venetian Arena in Macao

This month! Oh, thank you lord. I am SO ready for our reset. The ironic thing is KD is probably the reason we were scheduled for these games in China.

Miss ya, KD! /s

How little?! Are you kidding me?! They were force feeding him.

It wouldn't be my hand that was raised.

All I know is KD better win big with the Rockets otherwise people are going to start looking at his post Warriors years with a lot more scrutiny. You can't keep blaming everyone else when it doesn't work out.

Spoiler: show/hide

I like this guy. Very intelligent. He's asking the right questions of Booker. Knows how to make himself useful.

I wonder if NHD may be one of those guys who basically worms his way into more and more minutes as the season goes along. You look at the roster and kind of wonder how he fits in, but we have so many rooks and youngs and odd fits that NHD may have special value as one of the few veterans on the team.

I would hope he's good enough to earn minutes from the start. We're lacking a true 4 and perimeter shooting in the frontcourt and while he's a bit undersized he should be able to match up with other 4s and help spread the floor for us.

I really like NHD, and for sure I want to be excited about the new guys. I hope he becomes our 3rd scorer, because I think we really need that. I just hope we don't see a bunch of minutes with Brooks + O'Neale or Allen at the forward spots.

Assuming Brooks gets 30+ minutes, that leaves 55ish minutes for forwards. Those get split between NHD, Dunn, Fleming, Oso, O'Neale, and Allen.

Anyone else just kind of bored with Allen and O'Neale? They are objectively the most solid and reliable NBA pros in that list but I sure would love to trade them for future picks and just roll with the new guys.

I am just very interested to see Ott's system and rotation patterns. Will he always play the guys he thinks give us the best chance to win? Or will he mix in youth for their energy and growth? I don't see them totally just going with the youth movement unless it becomes apparent we can't win most nights even with our best combinations.

But the main thing I want to see is some passion and effort throughout, win or lose. We need that to get rid of that awful taste from last season. At this point, I just want fun Phoenix Suns basketball again where they play the right way night in and night out.

Great clip here about Nigel's interactions with Coach Ott:

This is bad. Just all of it is so bad. Good call to shut down the Politics subforum when we did.

He was the only tolerable one.
