Suns win this game with ease with a full roster. The Blazers suck.

Blazers sort of depleted as well


Book been hitting the floor hard this game

3/14 from Baynes
9/25 from Booker
4/10 from Rubio

That shooting stops you from winning.

[SunsRback4Good]

Booker might have 29/9/6 but his shooting is atrocious at 36 % to go along with 4 TO's.

I'd trade him right now straight up for Jokic.

Jokic is on another level than Booker. Anybody would do that trade.

Yeah and you’d probably trade him straight him for Giannis, Kawhi, Doncic, etc too.

Those teams, however, would call their phone carrier and have them block your number immediately. Or have a good laugh at your expense.

I wouldn't make that trade.

Booker/Ayton > Jokic/Ayton

Should've used a green font but wanted to see responses first. Those guys are simply untradeable unless they ask for one ; Jokic, AD, Kawhi, Doncic, Giannis, soon to be Zion on the list.

This game was awful.
Awful to be forced to watch, and awful to be apart of when blazer fans are telling me how good Ariza is.

Watching Rubio in person for the first time I can say he did not pass the eye test at all. I know he had a bad game but that guys lack of shooting is going to destroy us if/when we make the playoffs next year. I've defended book this year but he looks defeated. Thats what perpetual losing does to you. It just kills your soul. If you've played any kind of competitive sport and been apart of a habitually losing team you know what I'm talking about.
Look at draymond green. dude has straight given up. This is where Book is at. You can say "oh I dont want someone who gives up on his team playing for us, trade em" I say, you haven't played for nothing for YEARS. The one thing I saw...literally, the only thing I liked about this game was Ty Jerome nailing a shiteload of 3's during warmup. The suns better give him a proper chance.

This team needs a fourth quarter player so bad

Oubre is pretty clutch.

The biggest difference between this game and last week's game against the Blazers it was Baynes. Plain and simple. No need to overthink.

He was outstanding in that game (37 points and 16 rebounds) and he was TERRIBLE in this one . 3/14 shooting and just 2 rebounds in 34 minutes.

Another example to understand that Baynes can not play starting minutes on a playoff team. And we want to be a playoff team next year.

He has never played over 18 minutes per game in a season, and it's for a good reason.

He is playing 22 minutes for us this year, the most in his career, and everyone knows that he will be a better fit as a physical backup C who plays around 16/18 mpg giving Ayton some rest and playing as a starter when Ayton is out.

That's why we can't pay him over $10M on a multiyear contract. That would be a bad contract the next minute of the signing. I like him, but on a backup role and money.

But I am more comfortable with the idea of offering Saric a multiyear contract. The guy can play and will give us depth at PF/C. He is playing really well lately.
