If you were a Suns' fan in the 90's you probably have strong feelings about this.

I thought that loser went to prison and died a long time ago. He should have anyway.

Sounds like he had a guilt-ridden, short life. They didn't say cause of death and the fact that he died on his birthday sounds like suicide to me.

It’s crazy that they need to practice interviewing, and even crazier that they would post those practice interviews online.

I didn't remember the details of what Mustaf was involved in. Wikipedia has the info:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerrod_Mustaf
The Murder of Althea Hayes
On July 22, 1993, Musaf's girlfriend Althea Hayes was found shot to death in her apartment in Glendale, Arizona. Hayes, age 27, was pregnant with Mustaf's child at the time of her murder.[4] Multiple witnesses reported that Mustaf was not happy about the pregnancy and had asked Hayes to have an abortion, but Hayes refused. On the night Hayes was murdered, she phoned a friend and told them that Mustaf's cousin, Lavonnie Woten, was in her apartment and that she was frightened of him. An off-duty police officer reported seeing both Mustaf and Woten in the apartment complex where Hayes lived on the night she died.[3] Woten was later arrested, convicted of the murder, and sentenced to life in prison in 1996.[5] Mustaf continued to be a person of interest in the murder investigation, with K.C. Scull, the lead homicide investigator for the Hayes case, stating to Sports Illustrated in 2017 that "I think, even today, if the U.S. Attorney's office would take this case on, it could be won."[5]
The family of Althea Hayes later filed a civil wrongful death lawsuit against Mustaf. Mustaf settled the lawsuit out of court for an undisclosed amount.[5]

The good news is that this is a two day old article, and it looked like Bud recognized his uselessnes last night. It might just be a horrible matchup, but he's just not great. Hopefully, he can improve his affectiveness on this team with time and adjustments.

She only needs to get you fixed once, but it sounds like it was a good idea and she should be praised for getting it done. Has it stopped the leg humping?

Trick question, nothing will stop that

Shouldn't talk about your own grandma like that! (because I am your daddy) Besides, we all know the only thing that gets specialsauce up is pics of Big Dick Nurk in action.

I know it's early in the season but I kind of want to talk about realistic things we can do to add depth to the 4/5 rotation. Having two out of three games against the Lakers will do that to you.
Remind me, WW, what you feel about Walker Kessler?
Just kidding. I don't think Kessler is a realistic target, as he's young, on a cost-controlled contract, and we'd have to deal with Trader Danny.
What are some realistic options at the five, if we are to move Nurk? Is there any chance we can get guys like Capela or Valanciunis? Do we even want to? In general I don't think it's realistic to trade for younger players, as the other teams will have absolutely zero incentive to help us. Split mentioned Zubac after the season, I would love to get his more rounded play in here, and it'd be an added bonus as he was drafted by the Lakers and dumped for Muscala and that trade has been a sore spot for Laker fans... but why would the Clippers do it?

The cap restrictions make it tough but not impossible. But again, who wants Nurk and who would we get back and provide what we need? Do we want an offensively limited, defensive minded center? Is that Capela or Mitch Robinson? How would that impact the overall offense? JV and Vooch can shoot 3s but are they upgrades defensively?
I don't know if it's a great trade and it doesn't exactly solve a need but Grayson for Isiah Stewart works. We'd lose a great shooter on a good contract for an undersized 4/5 (on a similar deal) who can provide some rebounding and toughness inside and has some 3pt range. Does that move the needle for us tho?
There may have to be some kind of 3 team trade or a separate trade after the initial one to get around cap restrictions.
