I have never seen a layup drill like that in the playoffs..

Im not sure you play durant and booker anymore after this half..

There needs to be an amnesty team in the NBA. A team that will take on all the bad contracts of the NBA and just let them play out the rest of their bad contracts for that team..

Right now that team would go:

PG: Jordan Poole
SG: Tyler Herro
C: Deandre Ayton

Should’ve asked for Miami only KD, would’ve got yourself as championship as Jimmys 2nd fiddle

Haha KD getting exactly what he deserves.

I would’ve loved to play the Suns if we make the finals, 2 man team is the exact type of thing Spo would completely shut down

Hey. Suns fan coming in peace with a question. So we lose trmw and we're done....which means Monty Williams is done.

You guys have possibly the best in the business and he's not going anywhere. But Chris Quinn has been there for 9 years. How much does he involve himself day to day? I imagine he's had to have learned a lot of Spo and even Riley after all these years. I've been talking fellow Suns fans that he should be our 1st option if we can our guy. Wanted to get Heat fans opinion on the guy. Thx

Good luck the rest of the playoffs. Jimmy deserves a ring the way he's playing.
you want chris quinn ?

you can have it,i will assure you, however that he is not better than fitzdale who left for memphis and some other team a few years ago.

for reference: https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/fizdada01c.html

So........yeah. We'll take Quinn lol. He can't be worse than our current goof and he has to have learned something from Spo and Riley.

I only trust one big and thats Jokic..

More durable, skilled and yes more athletic than embiid.. always plays 70+ games with an average of 74.5 games played per season.

Ive said it before here, embiid’s body starts to break down after 60 games played.. look at him now.. hes literally dragging his legs up and down the court.. can barely move

Love Jokic... Don't trust him neither. Definitely the most versatile big in the game though

Suns have to trade everyone not named Durant and Booker.

Just a feeling, i think Monty gets fired.

spectrec130 · Post #1272 » by **spectrec130** » Fri May 12, 2023 5:15 am

Never liked the Suns to make the Finals.... CP is too fragile and Ayton is overpaid.... Suns FO would be better off trading to build a bench

Does seem to be the same narrative on Embiid's health thru the playoffs every year. Can he make it all the way thru a run without hobbling.

But who wants Ayton on that contract and who wants CP? They better hope someone wants to bail them out and give them a gift

Indiana wanted Ayton enough to offer him that contract and even waived a guy to make room to be able to offer the max. What they get back will be interesting, but the Suns can't think he's a good fit moving forward with Booker and KD.

CP3 only has $15.8 million in guarantees left on 2 years/$60 million he has left on his deal. He should be fairly easy to trade to someone looking to dump salary. Ayton is still only 24 and his contract isn't obscene. He's essentially earning Bam money. I think they'll find takers if they look to move him ... which I think they will because he seems to be moody.

I guess he doesn't understand what humble means? I'm not saying his statement outside of being "humble" is wrong, but you can't be humble and say that unless you and everyone else thinks you're way better than everyone else and you're downplaying that fact. My guess somewhere along the way someone he respects said put in your hard work and stay humble, but just saying you're humble doesn't make it true.

Are you getting anything worthwhile for a CP3 salary dump though? I’m pretty sure they don’t have picks to move either.

I personally don’t think Ayton is worth anywhere near his contract. Horrible teammate, self centered, and I’m not buying the soft rib injury. To me it feels like they got fed up with him and benched him back to back seasons for an elimination game but I could be overthinking it
