I say the Nuggets. There are no annoying players on that team. A few years ago Ayton 4 - 0 Jokic. Always puts a smile on my face. If we had built the team around Ayton, maybe...

What's up, DA?


MJ and Dennis hated each other. The fat little man didn't care. How did it go on the court?

Booker and Durant almost share a bed. Ishbia came many times. How did it go on the court?

Why Beal defending Edwards? He's too fast/strong. Okogie should be on him.

Both JJ and Ish deserve blame for where we are now.

People who pretend JJ isn't to blame for not improving the roster until Ish came along are blind.


I thought last season Suns basically couldn't make any trades until the new owner was decided. Sounds like Ishbia was the one calling the shots. JJ doesn't get a hall pass though...


That was while the sale was pending but there were plenty of moves JJ could have made like shipping out Crowder in the beginning of the season, or trying to look beyond players like Ish, Saben or whatever scrubs JJ stocked the end of the bench with every year.

This is what I think happened as well. JJ was basically restricted from making moves during the sale process. And then Ishbia (with his bff Isiah) called the shots.

Doesn't mean JJ doesn't get any of the blame though, specially the 2020 draft.

For those suns fans who wanted more dribbling,
and passing from a big man and more wings and mid range shooters.

Your wants have been proven to be a failure.

Suns need to clean house and get 7 to 8 first rounders back in the off season... or the rest of 2020s would be catastrophic for such a new arena.

Need to give fans a sense of excitement again... this mid-range craze doesn't work. Clippers also looking like a failed experiment.

He's torching Beal, they just showed it. Okogie at least makes him work.

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Our Denver run was a flash in the pan.

No way was Booker and KD ever going to replicate like a once in a lifetime performance like that but Ishbia probably went in thinking this was going to be the way we win despite not realizing teams will adapt and take away those 1v1 plays.
