James Jones had the vision to somehow acquire Josh Okogie. when you look at Josh Okogie and what he's done to this franchise he's changed everything. We should celebrate his brilliance and when you talk to Okogie you realize what a classical human being he is. It was 201 years ago today, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 in Eflat, which escorted in the age of Romanticism in music. And when I think of Josh Okogie, I think of Beethoven and the age of the Romantics. This guy has it all.

This is a pretty terrible stretch by Ayton he's been in the game no other way to put it

Spero sounds like a Zuckerberg-designed AI's idea of an emotive sports broadcaster.

Massive (non)shot by Okogie but I'm surprised CP3 messed up the timing on that final possessions

DA looking disinterested once again. Jesus man he makes the simplest crap look so hard sometimes.

Ayton needs to dunk that man, Terrence freaking Mann on you come the **** on.

CP3 wasting clock at the end for way too long, rookie mistake.

Okogie and Ross are what’s saving the Suns right now. And Kawhi is thankfully off, partly because of Craig’s defense but he’s missed wide open shots too.

I was super happy with the signing when it took place but admittedly didn't have high expectations of the guy considering his lack of shooting. I dunno what he did but I assume through hard work and hours in the gym, he's somehow fixed his shot and with that comes meaningful playing time which he's looked great in.

It was pretty obvious who Phoenix cares about more when Bridges was sent packing over Ayton. DA might be soft but when playoffs rolls around that’s who you want defending the paint and shooting 60+% over a wing who will likely disappear in the WCF/NBA finals. I mean I l love Bridges still saddened we lost him but Ayton is a more important piece to our team than Bridges at this point.

Five foot eighton is killin us when he doesnt dunk

I still think Okogie should come off the bench. The trio of him, Ross, and Warren are bucket getters. Okogie wouldn't have the same opportunity in the starting lineup with the offense needing to feed Durant, Booker, and DA.

When people say “Oh the Ayton haters complain he doesn’t dunk enough but he’s #1 all time in dunks” or whatever, that kind of play right there is what is frustrating.

He is literally lazy to jump. He’s 7ft tall, all it takes is a slight hop and his hands can easily touch the rim but he doesn’t wanna do it every time.

Torrey Craig with DA size would grab 20 rebounds per game

You realize his game is smooth and finesse. Guy has never been a dunker.

Ya'll need to finally realize hes not blake griffin in his prime

Bro, the Nets wanted Bridges more than excuse me OVER Ayton. Cmon now.

If Okogie is for real we could have the best Suns lineup ever this playoffs

Okogie doesnt have a history of getting buckets, he's always been a junk bucket getter and out there for his defense and massive wingspan. He's the perfect 5th when KD suits up.

Hated how Booker started the game jacking up 3’s.

Yeah nah, we moved Bridges because he had more value, plain and simple. Between DA's on/off game, his max contract and his no-trade clause, teams just weren't interested, Nets certainly weren't.

Yeah, all I heard was this guy can’t shoot but is an excellent defender. Didn’t start off strong this season but really picked up his shooting the past month or so. Glad he’s with us and not another contender. It’s like having Beverly on your team such a pest but Beverly can’t shoot this well like Okogie is showcasing us.
