The starters are fine, but not sure what to expect from the bench players in the playoffs. Jones really needs to bring a good 6th man type of player. Someone like Bogdan Bogdanovic maybe, who can score and create for others. Russell being mentioned often, but he's more expensive and may not like a 6th man role.

I don’t like this move with Zeke
He was terrible with the Knicks
Next move: Hire his old backcourt partner....and we can really start working the phones...

I don't usually post fan tweets (or tweets from those "NBA Central" type accounts) but this one was funny.

People on twitter are saying stuff like "Suns twitter has actually bullied Ishbia into not hiring Thomas" and one guy "Xin" even called him a sexual harrasser saying they canceled hiim.
Is there news they are not hiring him now? Suns twitter is often brutal.

Twitter users are losers and bots. I literally don’t know a single person that actually uses Twitter.
"Mannnnn I’m like the guy that pissed this whole board off saying literally all year no Mikal, no Mikal in the KD trade."

It has nothing to do with "Suns tweeter".
New Phoenix Suns majority owner Mat Ishbia and Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas are friends.
Thomas led Ishbia’s hometown Detroit Pistons to back-to-back NBA titles.
They’ve known each other for some time and Thomas was in Phoenix during Ishbia’s visit last month that including him attending two Suns games at Footprint Center.
But that appears as far as it will go.
A spokesperson for Ishbia told The Republic that Thomas won’t have a role in the Suns front office, as reported by Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, or be part of the team’s transition into new ownership.

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

They better chill. He's gonna feel pretty awkward if Bron ask to be traded here in the summer to win a ring with his last(best) friend Chris Paul.

Kinda like when ESPN created that whole Heat Index section or whatever it was called just tracking Lebron in Miami.
It's not gonna end. Next: 40K. Then 40/10/10, then playing with his son, then another thing, then retirement, and even after retirement he won't disappear. He loves the attention and he has a whole media machine behind him.

I need the story behind this Isiah Thomas thing. Either someone is trying to crap on the Suns or he really did back out of it after the backlash. Both look bad.

Yeah it's a bizarre deal because it doesn't exactly take a master's degree in PR to predict the backlash for hiring a guy who lost a sexual harassment case last time he worked in a front office after all the Sarver ****.Calvin Klein wrote:I need the story behind this Isiah Thomas thing.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

I know the answer, just throwing scenarios against the wall to see if they quasi make sense so close to the deadline. Miami wants Jae but all they want to do is dump Duncan Robinson. Would you guys do it if it also meant they took Shamet and gave draft capitol?

Won't see anything today or tomorrow except staying the status quo.

Whatever happens, I'd love for this group to be able to win without major changes. I love this team the way it is. I know it's very unlikely to happen, but it would be the best.
