I wouldn't mind if KD played out his contract...

So is Ishbia basically going to be the Owner and GM like Jerry Jones?

Mike Budenholzer on Bradley Beal (left great toe soreness): “He did not practice today. I think it’s going to take him a little bit more time.”

Beal has missed Phoenix's last two games.


Every part of his body is at risk on a basketball court. Physically broken and unable to play professional basketball on a daily basis. Hard to believe it but it's what it is.

Great toe is funny. Nobody calls it the great toe

Alex Len probably will go to the Lakers.

Via Keith Smith
Alex Len was ticketed for the Pacers, but a role with more playing time (and potentially more than the prorated veteran minimum) may have opened up with the Lakers after the rescinded trade. Something to keep an eye on. Len also wouldn't have to leave the west coast that way.

Finally someone bringing the hammer down. Same one we’ve been swinging here for months. Nobody in the media had been addressing the root of the problems.



That is a pretty meager free agent list

You know I am just about done with the embarrassment Ishbia has brought to this once great franchise.

I don't think he's capable of learning from his mistakes and like another very famous billionaire he is all too happy to run this thing into the ground because he's too damn proud of taking advice from anyone else so I hope he sells this team to someone else more deserving that is a little more smarter and less full of themselves.

He is our modern day Penny Hardaway. Trade looked great on paper but it led to a lot of lean years.

Even with Ishbia as owner, the Suns need to move on from James Jones

That doesn't mean Isiah Thomas though
I think Ishbia would listen to somebody like Bob Myers though - he has the rings at least

As for Durant, he needs to be traded this summer -- Gambo said "this team needs to ball out" - I think by now they know who and what they are as a team

So we gave up a 1st to dump Nurkic when it now looks like the Mavs could've really used a center like Nurkic. And then we might have been able to get back a solid player/ players at a different position. If we had only waited a bit longer.

You need to get back into the Chargers. Hopefully Harbaugh's surgeries go well this offseason.

I was thinking about it last night. Do you think if Booker retired right now, he would make the Hall of Fame?

Jeez..Remember guys, if you feel misearable about the Suns, there are the Mavs fans - miss the playoffs, make the finals, get your idol traded out of nowhere in a super shady deal, watch your new old star dominate for a half before getting injured, one point loss in OT...Brutal.

Return to Phoenix Suns
