Your sacrifice will be remembered if we get a top 2 pick :nod:

So in completely unrelated news, I'm gonna be unfortunately missing every single game next season and will have to watch the highlights afterwards.

Gambo is usually spot on when it comes to Suns info. James Jones said Igor will not be making the decision, only coaching the talent.

Is he? Is he really? I'm not that close since I'm not from the area but based on the comments here, he seems *really* hit and miss. Hits are really spot on but the misses are just wayyyy off


No, Gambo knows nothing. I mean saying we will take Ayton is obviously a pretty easy take since there is probably a better than 50/50 chance we do, but he is the last guy who would know. Have you heard him interview McD?

I think someone reported his sources were from other teams.

The only thing that wouldn't surprise me if he knows something is if Sarver, being a UA guy loves Ayton and has told him something. McD is very generic talking to anyone and no one has ever accurately predicted anything he's done that can't be construed as an educated or random guess (like our draft pick).

I think it is not fair to say that about Gambo.

It is OK to say that you do not like him or that you do not agree with his opinion, but he has given a lof of inside info about the Suns for a lot of years.
That is a fact.

It's a fact that he has given some good inside info in the past but when you've missed as much or more than you've hit......

Anyone care to give an example of an NBA player who can shut down DeAndre Ayton 1-on-1? The only player that comes to mind is Anthony Davis.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

It's my opinion that he doesn't have any real knowledge regarding the Suns FO opinions moreso than any of us that see and read things that anyone else does. He may know some opinions of other people...I think he takes some opinions of people who may work in other front offices or maybe opinions of people who don't have real info that work in ours and uses that. But it's also evident that so much of what he says is based on personal opinion. I don't take him any more seriously than a random poster here in what he says. And I take him much less seriously than most of the posters here.

Fun fact: Deandre Ayton scored more points as a freshman than any big man since 1992. Sports-reference doesn’t go back farther than that.

Imagine a motion offense with a 6'8" Steve Nash, Booker, and Jackson.

How was the watch party?


They had free popcorn. I was so nervous I was shoving handfuls in my mouth. Everybody was screaming when we made top 3 and even louder at #1. An experience I will remember when we look back at the next great Suns era.
