Goodbye Josh Okogie

Heck of a defender. Wish he thrives in Charlotte and gets more playing time. It just wasn’t meant to be here, Josh found his shot played well, but Bud wouldn’t give him meaningful minutes to showcase his brilliance on offense. Now he’ll get a chance in Charlotte.

We should throw an Okogie going away party and invite all the Suns fans. Obviously I don’t think Okogie will show up though.

Goodbye to our 2nd longest tenured Sun.

Wish we could have kept him but 2nd apron tax hell meant he had to go.

Hope we can sign him back one of these days.

Over paid him so he could be traded later for more salary. Parting gifts don't get better than 8.25 mil on a salary that from any other team, would have been 3 to 4 mil if he was lucky.

Shame that his offensive consistency never came around but it's always a good time to watch him fly around the court. Wish his energy rubbed off on a few more of his teammates here. Definitely wish him well.
