Booker's fault for putting his face where Vanderbilt's hand was swinging at. Clear foul on Booker.

Not sure what Monty is doing with a lineup featuring Biyombo, Okogie & Craig. 3 offensive non-factors is a recipe for zero offense.

Put Lee or Shamet in that lineup or you have no chance.

But things will likely go downhill quite a bit if KD can't stay on the floor when he's making $60 million in 3 years, with Book on a supermax and Paul gone and little cap space or picks.

For me there just isn't any organic growth to the team and because of it, the games have been not fun. I could care less about Ross, Damion Lee, and basically almost the majority of the Suns players. It was fun watching Okogie blossom for a bit, but that seemed to have tapered off.

That's some BS right there.

We had to waste a challenge because the ref was too dumb to make the correct call. :banghead:

I am not seeing the double and triple teams on Book. I see him just settling. This is not like him.

TJ Warren is absolutely terrible on defense.

Biz and Jock are hopelessly outmatched right now.

Might be time to break glass and roll out Bazely and see if he can provide us with anything.

AD would make suns a dominant team again. Heck trade AD + Brown for DA & Shamet. That would help our team be dominant again without losing book or KD. Ishbia is the right guy to get the job done.

There's no hope of us retaining the fourth spot with both the Clippers and Warriors closing on us fast. I expect a slip into the play in and a potential first round exit at this point.

Williams needs to be fired during the off-season.

A healthy AD would make any team dominant problem is he is never healthy.

I’d rather Ishbia moved this team to Seattle to become the Sonics again. Sonics desperately need a team and the Phoenix Suns are a perfect team for thr city of Seattle. Once again Ishbia needs to make it happen. Sonics deserve a team badly.

No. Seattle need their OWN team from scratch, and I say that as a fan of my team which was stolen. No team should be relocated there. Period.

While I agree 1000000000000000000000000000000000000% on your second point, I'm not sure the Clips will hold that 4th seed much less catch us. Losing PG13 is a killer for them to improve. They are very deep though so who knows.

Trade Monty for Udoka and profit. In the off-season if we don't win the chip.

Seattle needs a team but there's no way the Suns move to Seattle.

Maybe a team in a really small market like OKC or Memphis moves as moving to a bigger city with a bigger fanbase and corporate sponsors would make it much more attractive to them.

Return to Phoenix Suns
