Fears and Queen is some serious offensive upside. Two of my favorites to watch.

Without us having the top pick or multiple lottery picks this has been so boring...

You sure?
Yup, not high conviction about any of the remaining players to become more than role players. Limited upside going forward imo at least.

Right!! Got to be the dumbest trade ive seen in years. That 2026 pick should be top 10 protected, but somehow its unprotected and also the most favourable between two potential meltdown teams in NOP and Milwaukee. Just an incomprehensible brainfart from that org. Could very VERY easily be a top 5 pick (or worse). One Zion injury or Giannis slip from a nightmare.

I just mean that Memphis just traded our pick for him.

Don't love this from an asset management perspective for PHX but it makes them better for next season.
