Booker to the Nets for our picks back and Cam Thomas.

More like 13-14 squad :lol:


13-14 squad for sure. They won 1 game less with Dragic, Bledsoe, Gerald Green,PJ Tucker, Channing Frye and Miles Plumlee. Then the Morris twins and Len.

You know the team isn't fun when a team with the twins on it was more fun.

Nah! The Wolves will win in 5 with the suns winning the next game at home to just avoid the sweep, but then come out in game 5 with little to no urgency, and passive because unfortunately, that's their identity. The one thing that you can consistently count on is that the suns will be inconsistent!. They've just not been mentally invested all season long. :(

Budenholzer is the only HC I can think of that could revive this Suns roster.

I’m not even sure it’s worth it though, better off just blowing it up.

Read on Twitter


Edit: He deleted the tweet but it said “At what point do you realize **** isn’t funny. No way im sittin out there gigglin with the opposing team while gettin whooped..”

This was reportedly about Bradley Beal based on the replies to the tweet.

Booker’s brother going in on Suns players who’re laughing and chattin all friendly with the Wolves players.

How good is Cam Thomas? I know he scores a lot.

So if we did that we would have traded Booker, Bridges, CamJ, and Crowder for 36 year old KD and Cam Thomas.

Sound pretty ridiculous.

This romanticizing of those 2 and how good they are has to stop.

Ishbia obviously made a mistake with the KD deal. That does not mean that the Twins didn't need to be traded. Any number of players that we should've moved them for but Durant at age 35 was just not the correct choice.


Know one
needs to be lectured by you. If you would have had one of your wishes we would have Quin Snyder as our head coach. Quite frankly though he might not be worse the "Numb Nuts" Vogel. You really have no clue, just like the rest of us and in particular Ishbia.



"No one"

I know proper English and grammar. Which is more than you can say apparently

The KD hate is ridiculous when Booker is supposed to be the one "leading" this team.

Booker is just pouting because Kevin Young is not helping him hero ball.

This team does not deserve fans. I'll give Beal a slight pass because he at least ATTEMPTS to do the correct things when out on the court, but the rest of this team lacks leadership, accountability, and is a bunch of spoiled babies who just don't give a ****.

Softest team in decades. Vogel is a disaster and whoever is responsible for this offense deserves to be shot via catapult into the Sun. They have neutered HOF level offensive players in their primes.

We have role playing 37 year olds not shooting at end of quarter to protect their 3 point %. This team is a joke and has been all year. We should've fired Vogel at the midway point, but now we are stuck with this garbage. A lot of this falls on KD. I don't care if he is playing well / shooting well, he is supposed to be a leader and we have traded insurmountable amounts of talent for him. He has not been.

Book has not been the same guy he was before. He is deffering too much due to how we have set things up offensively. But at least he is playing with SOME intensity. Our role players, head coach, other superstar, etc have played less hard than the opposition most games. We have won based on shooting talent. Right now we are not even running real offense and we pout and allow layup lines on the other end.

I wonder what kind of package you could get for Book? /sigh. Why are we here. I hate this timeline.

Beal is gonna be the last man remaining on this roster because not one living soul will give up anything of value for him and god awful contract.

Beal and Ben Simmons should be the reason why guaranteed contracts end in the NBA.

Beal’s not horrible when healthy but he’s not even worth half his contract. Like half of his contract would have him at $20-$25M/yr and even that would be a massive overpay for a player of his standards.

Did you just compare Beal to Simmons? Simmons is next to Lonzo Ball in games not played.

Focusing that Mamba mentality. That killer instinct to take over games and kill opponent’s momentum.
