We going for the “most injury prone team to win a championship” title

Oh my, I have been talking about getting Derrick Rose as a backup PG for three years now.

His production isn't the same as it was in 2020-2021, but he is good enough to play minutes here and there. I would love to watch him on the Suns.

Rose would be fine since its a short term situation. The rest of the season and playoffs. Wouldn't give him the TPMLE or anything like that

I feel like if we don’t see Bazley tonight against his old team we may not see him on the court this season as Monty may think he’s just too raw.

I've been wanting another ball handler but man I would sure prefer someone less rapey than Rose. Wouldn't love rooting for that dude.

I enjoy Dave Kings articles and his former podcast, but when I ask him questions or make comments to some of his posts, I always feel like he is very short and impatient with his responses.
I noted it was weird to hear Jaque Vaughn calling Cam Johnson CJ, and he responded with "How dare he". It may not seem like much but I never said, 'what the hell is wrong with him, Cam only has one name'. It just strange to hear a different nickname because nobody with the Suns ever called him that.
I've had a few other instances with him over the last year+ that bothers me. My least favorite Suns media person.

Yeah the dude is condescending as hell. Even in his podcasts he yells at listeners who have stated they disagree with him, and then three months later he has changed his mind and agrees with those people he yelled at. An odd dude.

Honestly, the Suns have some strange media people. Don't get me started on Espo. I can't believe the PHNX crew are credentialed media members (I guess they have some ties to the team with Lindsey Smith and Espo, but ehhhh). And then Brenden Kleen of LockedOn? Dude is a major Bucks fan (lol no offense WeekapaugGroove) and can barely string a sentence together.

Mike and Sam of The Timeline and David of the IVPointPlay are legit the only guys worth reading or listening to. Kellan Olsen is pretty good too. He does some very good reporting and he actually writes insightful stuff.

Okay rant over - I think I am just jealous that people get to interact with NBA players for a profession and aren't very good at it.

The Phoenix Suns are signing two-way forward Ish Wainwright to a new two-year, $2.5 million deal, his agents Jim Tanner and Deirunas Visockas of Tandem Sports told @TheAthletic @Stadium. Team option on the 2023-24 season.

Team option for the next season was always the way to go because we don’t know who will be available for the minimum next summer. Ish as an insurance is a nice cheap option.

Ive never seen Suns fans so sad over a traded player. Even Nash didn't get as much lamentation although he did go to the Lakers and was declining.

It seems that Shamet (if healthy) will be our third string PG for the playoffs.

And from what I saw in the last 8-10 games Wainright probably will be our backup PF.

Not going to lie. I wish we could have kept the same team, and got Lauri Markannen at the beginning of the season

Imagine

CP3
Booker
Bridges
Markannen
Ayton

but then again we have KD. Hope he stays healthy all playoffs

Yup, 100% exactly my thoughts based on the signing. The roster is fully set folks:

G: Paul - Payne - Shamet
G: Booker - Ross - Lee
F: Craig - Okogie - Warren
F: Durant - Wainright - Bazley
C: Ayton - Landale - Biyombo

A complete agenda of lies.

Sea levels have not changed for longer than 130 years, as anyone can see in a photo (famous one of the Statue of Liberty).
Most temperatures are measured in meteorologic sites that are now inside the cities, and not in the outskirts, as 50 years ago were.
Forest surface is in a higher point since we have knowledge.
Ice surface is at a peak since we can calculate.
But they are telling the population to be scared.
AS you say, in the meanwhile, they fly almost daily to tell you to eat less meat and ride your bike and buy an expensive car that will be moved by electricity made in a combustion plant and whose batteries have no recycling possibilities at all.
Yet there are people who believe all this is true.
The same as with the birruss... still there are people who think all that was real and all meassurements had to be done for our safety.

I think there is a political board on this site for these types of posts. Please post there.

That's not even politics though. That's just lunacy.

oh next time when i visit the grave of my father who died from covid, i will tell myself that it was all a lie and that he died for a lie from the government, illuminati and rothschilds. thanks for the clarification.

I don't think you meant to quote me. My personal opinion is that covid/climate deniers are **** brain-damaged.

I just got a booster shot today.

Sorry to hear that about your dad and other family member. My condolences. If idiot deniers didn't exist, things could have worked out so much differently.

What do you think our chances are of winning the West and the Championship if we win the West?
