My logical brain: It is a game where we watch grown men wear tank tops and throw an orange ball through an orange hoop. Complaining about 'traditional' costumes vs new costumes seems a lot like Abe Simpson yelling at clouds.

My fanatic brain:
Where can I spend $150 on a throwback sunburst jersey and another $150 on the classic western font one?

Ya I understand why they do it when I look at my closet and see all the suns jerseys I own that I only wear to games and I find myself still wanting the new ones. There’s a lot of suckers like me that keep buying new ones.

I don’t mind the teal color…I’ll withhold final judgement until I see the actual jersey. Didn’t know we were basically getting completely New Jersey’s across the board. My first reaction is a little underwhelmed. I liked our current purple jerseys. Though throwing back to the 90’s is fun and I’m excited for that.
Getting rid of The Valley jersey's makes absolutely zero sense. I could never purchase one as they were always sold out. Not buying one now.

According to Jerry Seinfeld, we're rooting for laundry.

He isn't wrong.

AFAIK, most decisions related to the uniform design and timeline are made by the supplier. It seems the NBA and individual teams have less input as time goes by.

I think I remember reading the Valley uniforms were supposed to be worn for only one season but were extended for a second due to their popularity.

I can see where you might vote for Mikal on question 1 and DA on question 2. Being more integral and being better are not the same thing.

I think it’s a tough question though. Ayton has a higher ceiling and because of that raises the ceiling of the young core to where we’d need it to be in a post-CP3 world. That’s something I don’t think Mikal can do. But Mikal literally fits on every single team in the league. I literally think all 30 teams would plug him into their starting lineup. I can’t say the same for Ayton.

I've never understood why people would prefer to keep the worse player.

By the way, I try to avoid engaging with them. What are the results?

Thanks. Twice as many votes for Q1 vs Q2 doesn't really help figure it out, either. But they are very different questions.

To me, "more integral to the Suns young core" sounds like who you would prefer to keep.
