I don't think I did either until we signed him. Maybe heard it but knew nothing about him. Then last game he suddenly starts and nails a few 3s. Didn't even know he shot 3s.

If Metu can hit threes and play a bit of defense he can be our improved Okogie 2.0. That will be huge moving forward towards the playoffs.

Got the Nets broadcast on tonight. Eagle and Kustok are the best in the game

I like him better than KBD and Okogie so far, even if his 3 point shooting is fluky

Yeah man, so far so good. It’s only been two games but I enjoy watching him play and he can actually hit threes consistently unlike KBD, Okogie, Shamet’s of the world.

Booker has always been so bad at managing his fouls.

What if we combine current Suns/Nets players such as KD, Watanabe, Bridges, CamJ, add in Gordon, Cam Thomas, and few veterans in Biyombo, Saric, Payne. How do you see this team doing in regular season & playoff wise?

Smart GM , is the same guy is still in charge in PHX ?

Why I’m asking , because I can understand to a degree Durant trade or Nurkic trade , what I don’t understand is the Beal trade , it’s not really about what you gave up , I just don’t think Beal is the missing part on a contender


Yeah, our previous GM was still here with the Mikal one, and James Jones was also brought in and signed off on everything. Jones did make the Cam trade, also getting Saric, for a higher pick who ended up being Jarret Culver, so that was good.

But aside from that, he's either traded first rounders (one for Landry Shamet, last year's in the KD trade) or made bad picks, like taking Jalen Smith over Tyrese Haliburton.


The Beal trade was probably Ishbia thinking that they would have a hard time staying under the 2nd apron anyway so why even try to save money?

He took two big gambles hoping that both KD and Beal would remain relatively healthy for the duration of their contracts & by giving away so many of our 1st and 2nd round picks. Seems pretty reckless and foolish to me but a lot of Suns fans seem to be all in on this plan.

Bridges has grown so much as a player in BKN. It pains me to say that in order to get to where he is now, being traded was what became necessary. Same goes for Johnson, too. I hate seeing them in another team's unis, but I'm happy for their continued rise and success.
