Nurk Allen or ONeale is how flagrant Fowl turns into fragrant bowel

Good stuff on Book about the Olympics, last season, the upcoming season and trade rumors.

A little Plumlee media session. Monte Morris was supposed to be in town but had flight issues.

If they don't trade any of those players for a more impactful role player they will end up 11th seed

[JeremyG]

It makes the whole thing even more sickening. James Jones should be fired for that.

[Gladiator]

That article really rubbed salt right into the wounds. It was such a bad call at the time and just gets worse with time

[Flagrant Fowl]

Drink.

[Mori Chu]

Ish was a nice guy, but he wasn't really NBA caliber. I hope he has success playing overseas.

[Split T]

Good, I don’t want Kessler…I think he sucks

[ShelC]

A bunch of videos here. Monte Morris media session, shooting videos of some of the players, Oso asking Dunn a question during his media session (vibes?), and Jalen Bridges

“If we struggling on offense and the ball is not moving and your best players aren’t being put in a position or in space to showcase their skill — that’s with anybody,” he told Arizona Sports on Tuesday. “I ain’t like when Book was in the corner a lot or if Brad was sitting around a lot. We just stood around. I think you could make more options or we (could have) had more movement in our offense.

"To say I was frustrated about that — that’s just a basketball thing that we always (feel). We trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? Style of play is not something that I’m pissed off at the team about. It’s just like, ‘Yo, we need to figure it out to get better.’ I think [new head coach Mike Budenholzer] has been watching film of what we did last year to try to incorporate some of those things that worked for us and try to finetune some of the things that didn’t.”

Durant told Goodwill he has been in constant communication with the Suns over the summer. Part of that has been with Budenholzer.

“I’m excited about Bud,” Durant said. “He’s an experienced coach, been around for the last 20 years coaching. So he’s seen so many different types of players, different locker rooms. I’m interested to get to work with him. I’ve been chopping it up with him all summer. Just trying to get to know one another so we can help each other out once the season starts.”

“I’ll know more once we all get out on the floor,” he said. “But we did win 49 games last year — it was a discombobulated season. Guys in and out, we didn’t have quite a rhythm on the offensive side of the ball, defensively we still trying to figure stuff out and we still was able to win 49 games our first year together. We just want to build off that. I love what we have. I feel confident in our group and I feel like a lot of people are underestimating us because of what we did last year so it’s on us to come out there and play with that chip on our shoulder.

Vogel was bad at offensive schemes, huh? Didn't see that one coming.

[Superbone]

I like everything Durant is saying.

[TOO]

I like everything Durant is saying.

He definitely speaks as if he's the leader of the team.
