Could be a smokescreen for a possible Durant deal in the works. Durant has been really quiet since Irving left.

It's possible/probable Mat got bullied out of the Thomas hire by the reaction after the Haynes tweet.

But after that CP/Irving trade leak it's also possible someone with an axe to grind against the suns is feeding Haynes info.

I find it highly unlikely he would reverse course after 10 minutes of twitter backlash, or at least I can't think of another instance where a business leader has ever caved that quickly on something. It usually takes at least a day.

I don't even know how haynes has a job. He can barely string a sentence together. Seems like he has friends like CP3 who give him stories and thats the only reason he's progressed. Not a good reporter IMO/

Heard about the Isiah thing before tonight's game but it was repeated again on air by Haynes after he apparently had a short chat/interview with Ishbia....I don't really know what to think because I had already heard about it before the game and then the way Haynes mentioned it on air sounded like he confirmed it with Ishbia before he said it.

Really holding my breath on Ishbia being a good owner. Not going to praise him until I see something to be praised, but these early rumors aren't looking great. Sarver was awful, awful, awful, but it's the Suns... it can always get worse.

Hopefully I breathe a sigh of relief after he proves he's better than Sarver, but until then I'll just be puffy cheeking it.

Anyone glad that Lebron now has the all-time scoring record and we don't have to hear on a daily basis how far he's from the record and if he can get it in this game or that game? I sound kinda bitter but I'm not, I'm happy for the guy but man...it's just unrelenting.

Kinda like when ESPN created that whole Heat Index section or whatever it was called just tracking Lebron in Miami.
