Yeah on Suns.com but I believe that’s only available to people in Arizona.

So hopefully it’s illegally steamed on Reddit or Discord or whatever the new site is

I thought Brooklyn looked talented and deep.

No
Only the last preseason game vs Denver will be on league pass. Every other game playing tonight is league pass or nationally televised... really lame, hope suns get respect back soon.

If you go to nba.com and click on scores you can see which games are on league pass.

Why is it not on league pass? Surely someone is there filming with cameras?

You mean to tell me in the year two thousand and nineteen and all the money league pass has stolen from us over the years that not one of suns or twolves can let their fans watch?

There is a new reddit page dedicated to all the fans or Adam Silver (/r/adamsilverfanpage/)

It might provide you with solutions to your concerns.

What's up with that?

Hopefully it's on international league pass but by the sound of things, probably not

I’m going to be optimistic and assume this is not Sarver/suns wanting to make add money by streaming through their own website...

There are a few other non suns games not on league pass... I think the league just doesn’t care..

are there any nba TV package offered by legal channels that I get all Suns games only. I only watch the Suns so I can't justify the expensive price tag of league pass that include the abundance of all those games i won't be watching.

now that the Starters/The Free Agents/TBJ guys are on the Athletic, I might consider getting a subscription. Their pod isn't behind a paywall but they might have some quality content that they will have. I've always enjoyed articles from the Athletic (thanks BW and others for posting them on here) and now I feel like there's a good enough reason to get a subscription now.

For what it's worth, I got a subscription during one of their more recent sales and feel like it's been worth it. I enjoy the writers they have for all of the AZ sports teams, and there's a lot of good content there in general.

Reading through the player updates on Rotoworld and the update on Tyler Johnson’s game mentions that the Suns have been trying to trade him but not getting any interest... was this common knowledge? I know he has a big fat expiring

I doubt they are now, because I think they like him, but I wouldn't be surprised if when teams called they let him know he would be available. It's probably more likely they would take on a player later in the season for his expiring if another team wanted to clear cap space and there was a useful player for us.

But we may prefer cap space next summer too, even though there isn't much for FA options. We may want to keep Saric which could cost money. But if Jerome and particularly Okobo and/or Lecque develop we probably wouldn't want to invest too much money in a backup SG. I could see Okobo take a big step this season.

It is also likely we will have a better option for a PF or at least backup PF next summer. Someone we are not thinking about may have a breakout season. I think we have a team option on Kaminsky and also could move on from Saric, especially if he wants a lot of money. Depending on Ayton's defensive development, we may want a defensive stud at PF.
