We're "only" down 10, but this just completely has the feel of a loss. I would be shocked if we came back to win this game. This team has no fight in it, no perseverance.

Yea i'd actually be mad if we won because it'll just give more ammo to people who think this is salvageable. Again, just like last year, where a few random wins in the middle of all the losing is enough to think maybe this team can click and turn it around.

TJ McConnell can get to his spot on the baseline 4 times and knock down that middy jumper. We can't stop it and what's worse - that used to be Book's shot but instead he's running PnR 35ft from the basket with smalls ghost screening for him that leads to absolutely nothing.

Completely agree. Ownership and FO need clarity; they need to see definitively that this edition of the Suns is completely cooked, that there is no salvaging or patching this team, no quick-fix trade that can make us a contender, no reason to burn future assets (2031 1st) to go "all in" on this group. We are done, we are toast, we suck. I actively want us to lose every game until they blow up this team. I have had it.

This moment during one of the breaks was genuinely sweet.

Man, people were going all in on me for complaining about giving up our draft picks and saying I was advocating tanking. Here you are actually advocating tanking and we don’t even have our draft pick.

I'm not advocating tanking. I'm saying get what you can for KD and use that to reload around Book. We already have Dunn on the wing, Oso is a nice rotational big and Royce and Allen are locked in. Move one for more picks/young players. We can fix this relatively quickly.

Is this a good time to remind everyone that we could have had Haliburton if we had wanted him?

I wasn’t replying to you, I was replying to Mori who said, “I actively want us to lose every game.”
If anyone has this idea that Ishbia will become competent if only he realizes what a poor job he has done so far, let’s just say I don’t share that optimism.

No…. This is triggering to too many here.

I want us to trade KD to Houston for two of our future 1sts back, plus a young and a ballast contract (Dillon Brooks). I want us to trade anybody else that can net us picks or youngs back. I want us to lose so the FO has to accept the truth. I do not want to "tank."

Making it apparent that they have been bad so far isn’t going to make them good at their jobs.

Well no shit, the NBA season is during the winter. Maybe it’ll be back by playoffs time. If hunters don’t get it.
