I Think You Should Leave is weird but stick with it. It's hilarious.


If it’s weird like “stranger things” I might actually enjoy it.

Seen it a month ago and seen MM2 last week. Adam Sandler movies are normally a hit or a miss.

Three games I promised myself to never watch a highlights are game 6 of suns-bucks finals; game 7 of suns-Mavs and game 6 of whatever the F—- happened tonight.

For the old heads it’s probably the Paxton shot, or Kobe air ball and arrest game winner.

We weren't wrong, that's the point.

If you want me to go through my personal I told you so's we'd be going back to when our arena was called America West.

we went to having our core of the future with Booker/Mikal/cam + ayton/whatever we could get for Ayton + having draft picks...

To basically just Booker and whatever we can get for Ayton and no draft picks...

I dont include KD here because hes not in our future.

We need to somehow retool and win with KD or this is the worst trade in suns history...

Coby White is an unrestricted free agent currently though. I still like the proposal that I saw on the trade board ( PHX/ CHI / NOP)

Chicago- Ayton.
New Orleans- Vucevic.
Phoenix- Valuncias/ Caruso/ Portland 24' (lotto protected) 1st. Valuncias is big, strong physical and he can rebound well and hit the 3 while only making 15 million. And Caruso is first team all defense.

As I’ve gotten older I have realized when it’s time to wave the white flag and the Clippers series was the sign. Same with Pelicans series last year I knew something was off when we didn’t look engaged and value every possession like it was 2021. Sometimes you have a contender and can tell when they aren’t good enough to win it all. I’ll give you your due BH you have been around here for ages and know your sport especially our team.

Only one person gets the blame for trading our youth/veterans for an aging superstar + Warren. I don’t need to clue you in on who that may be. I’m so F—— pissed right now it’s not even funny. I was looking forward to 6-7 great years of Booker, Ayton, CamJ & Mikal and now those dreams are ruined ripped away from me a few months ago because a rich guy wanted to play with his new toy.

Yeah, but what's even more sad that I kinda know it whenever I see a trade that is bad, a contract that could backfire, etc... I mean after 30+ years of following basketball religiously you just kinda know. Not all the time obviously, but like 80%ish... and some people just don't, or they still talk themselves into sht, and make up totally false narratives to make two wrongs a right, but it never happens.
If your GM can't make a good trade, or a really good draft pick (in fact he goes on record not caring about the draft, while he works for a legendarily cheap owner), or a good signing of a player for 4-5 years, nor convince a new owner to wait one night for a trade to not overpay (again, and by this time the cupboard will be bare, like asss-naked-bare), then he is not a good GM. "Getting your guy" was a false narrative to begin with, I knew it since the first TJ trade.
Same goes for coach, who can even F up the semi-good (or only semi-bad?) moves that GM made, by not playing usable guys becouse he favours a worthless p.o.s. player, and he gets regularly outcoached in the playoffs by medicore coaches.

If a miracle does not happen this is it for us. Yes, we will heve smoke blwon up our collective butt even if we trot out the same lineup next year. Yes we will around 50 games next year pretty much no matter what - but that's not the point. If we are not going anywhere in the next 2 years Book is out. Then we still have to wait another 2 years to have draft picks.
So F this, F our "gm" for effing up the team in the last 5 years, f the coach who can not coach, f the previous disgusting owner, f the new owner for being dumb and jizzing his pants in the first minute of the first date. Oh well, I'll be watching in 10 years too (hopefully if i dont croak), maybe we'll have a good team again then.
