Game Day: Suns (14-13) @ Nuggets (15-11), Mon 12/23/24

[Split T]

I might watch Christmas Day if we have Booker back…but otherwise I’m out for a bit until we make some changes to the roster.

[The Bobster]

This one's over early. I'm out for a while.

[Mori Chu]

This game is so over, down 86-63 now. Pull KD and Beal outta there.

[Kryptonic]

Hey guys, how's it going? Not watching because I need my sanity. Hope all is well.

Crappy holidays and seasons beatings!

[JJ Slim]

Do the Nugs have their scrubs in and the Suns still can't make a dent in this lead?

[Wally_West]

Get Beal off this fuckin team

[TOO]

Borguet is posting like this team is dead. Welcome to the club.

[Wally_West]

Beal missing layups. Not running back. No effort on defense.

Dude clearly don’t want to be here.

[Furlanfufi]

Royce did not give a fuck on D either.

I don't think the Earl Watson team with "I don't wanna be here players" were this dead.

[JJ Slim]

I remember last year the Suns were struggling about this time too. I think they played Dallas on Christmas day and I said I had to take a break after that debacle because I couldn't take the crap anymore. I feel the same this year. I'll watch the next game against Denver on Christmas but if it turns out the same way I'll be stepping away for a while again. Fortunately last year they seemed to come together a few games after that. But then I also remember how the end of the season turned out. I've got some good tickets for Jan 18 when they visit the Pistons but I'm not sure if I want to bother attending.

Pickett, the 3rd string PG, out scored all but 2 Suns players.

Have hard believing Ishbia is willing to blow it, plus blowing it up means you are exclusively dealing with rockets, they have all of our picks, but waiting till mid January shit is fucking dumb. You have to start dealing asap. You need to get Nurk off this team. Sit his ass away from the team until you find a deal.

Idk how tangible a Beal for Butler trade is, but time to start exhausting every option to try and get rid of him.

Ultimately, we need to get bigger and we need new centers and get rid of the dead weight-Beal and Nurk. No need to wait, time to start dealing.

[Wally_West]

There’s clearly parts of this team that aren’t working at all and actively kills momentum. Generally, think there’s players on this roster that don’t fuck with each other and time to get rid of them.

[Wally_West]

The roster right now is absolutely unfit to guard any body. Too many guards, centers who aren’t nba players anymore.

Gambo said January 15. That's a very specific date that certain players that were extended in the offseason become eligible for trade.


Blow it up. Start over. Trade em all.

[Split T]

I think January 15th is when Okogie can be moved…I do wonder if we signed that contract knowing we had a deal already in place

[Wally_West]

I believe all players on the Suns are eligible to be traded right now. At least Spotrac or Fanspo haven’t said I couldn’t lol

[Split T]

I thought I heard it was 1/15 for Josh. I did find this article that states:

A small group, those who re-signed with their original team that was at or over the cap at the time of signing on either full Bird or Early Bird Rights to a contract that included at least a 20% raise, must wait until Jan. 15 to be trade eligible

That seems to apply to Josh

[Mori Chu]

I bet ABC / ESPN is scrambling to get us removed from the Christmas day lineup at this rate. What a 3rd quarter meltdown.

Denver by 27.
