We can dump him and Shamet to Miami for Duncan Robinson at any time we want. Just a matter of us getting XT stuff to take on Duncan (who imo is a better shooter than Shamet and will improve us).

Looks too similar to the Utah jerseys. I dont know why they went away from the Valley Jerseys for this.

Also, purple should be at the top, around the collar and the number, fading to yellow at the bottom, like the Valley jersey.

It should be a sunset. or even the sun rising....either way the light will be below the Sun, not above it.

Pissed how? What did he say?

Are they asking him questions that could make him pissed or pissed for another reason?

I've been of the mind that we're trading him as soon as we can. This Sarver thing might change that but if DA is all pouty and Monty is still stubborn about giving Ayton more looks on offense then....who knows.

No emotion, very short. Did not smile once. If I had to guess, I don’t think he’s upset with the Suns but upset with the media. He even told Duane Rankin to speak up as he was talking.

The questions didn’t warrant him to be upset. I think he read what the media said about him in the offseason.

Not the best vibes but that's to be expected with how this off-season went.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Actually I just watched on youtube. I wouldn't say he looked pissed but more serious and less jovial...more like Book...straight to business, straight face with questions.

But I will say the media questions were dumb. I can understand asking about the contract once or twice, and maybe Sarver once. But there were like 10 questions about the contract...

Seems like most of the questions should have revolved around what specifically have you worked on to add to your game this offseason and what do you hope to do more of on the court this year....stuff like that.

I know there was one question about what he worked on and he answered "everything".

I will say I liked his personality last year but at the same time, him being more serious may translate into being a little meaner and more focused on the court...out to prove he's worth that money, etc.

I expect big things from him. I hope they utilize him more. I expect they will, but it seems like they should have last year after all his hot starts.
