KD-day is coming up rapidly. Supposed to be back Wednesday

I'll be glad when the Suns trade Ayton.Once again looked like the softest guy on the floor out there tonight.He moves like an over the hill Patrick Ewing most of the time.He looks nothing like his combine numbers would suggest.

Nice win to stay 4th with KD coming back for the next one.

This Jazz team is BIG. Markannen as an SF is crazy.

Great to see the bench unit to play very well again. Wainright played more than Shamet in this one and he was everywhere.

Warren +24. He has the highest +/- on the team for the last few games.

Book was spectacular in the first quarter.

Seems like run of the mill day here today on the Suns Realgm board.

First picked Ayton over Luka and then Luka over run Booker in game 7. Only KD can turn everything into a positive.

I'm starting to love that bench lineup with Ish, TJ, Ross, Cam, and Biz.They've been murdering teams the last 3-4 games.That unit has actually looked better than the starters.

This Jazz team is impressive already have a young star with complementary role players. Just need another star to help out Lauri and I can see them make WCF in 3-4 years.

Is Damion Lee not good enough to play 7-8 min a game why is he only getting 3 min tonight? Seems like he’s a decent defender who can knock down threes.

Too many players, can't play them all.

At this point, Lee should play over Shamet. The guy brings nothing but Monty is too stubborn to acknowledge it

Lee has playoff experience with Warriors.. when it truly matters he will play a bigger role than Shamet.

Meanwhile we're looking to enjoy home court advantage while Luka will be enjoying the playoffs the same way as Mavs fans, at home on the couch.

The grass isn't always greener. Can't judge things in a vacuum.

Danny Ainge should've been arrested after what he did to the Nets, amazing another team let him do it again.

Keep JJ far away from talking to Danny.

Luckily or unluckily, the Suns have few tradeable assets

I still think a Collins/Capela combo for Ayton is in the cards come July. More depth and fill the hole at PF. Hopefully they don't give DA away for nothing.

Still thinking that works cap wise? I'm thinking we don't take on $50 million on top of KD's $50 million, Book's supermax, etc. Shamet would have to go but he's expiring anyway.

Yeah, just came by to scan to see how negative it was. Not too fun anymore hanging out in them during games.

Yes, sorry I always forget to include Shame. He would be catching the same flight to ATL as Ayton. I think it works for both teams and IF we fire Monty and IF we hire Ime, then I'd also see about signing Grant Williams with the MLE or maybe even the BAE depending on what else they have planned. I think he can be had cheaply and would fit Ime's system perfectly-if things go that way and Monty is shown the door.

Olynyck would have been so good with this team. He was floating around available a couple of times.

Yall need to accept Ayton for what he ‘is’ and quit wishing on the ‘will be’. My guess he ends up closer to the IS than the Will Be.

Good with that for now

The Sham has lost his wow

But Lee isnt that good either. Both behind TBuckets, Ross, and gulp…Wainwright. Craig too as he’ll be a bencher soon. Just not enough minutes for extreme mediocrity. The real Sham is, Landry makes almost as much as all of them combined

Agreed! Even though we’ve been losing a lot of games, I have seen a lot of great things from those guys mentioned above. Durant is going to make those guys look even better. Never understood when people said the Suns lost depth after the trade deadline. The Suns have a pretty deep team, if guys are healthy, of course.

If we stayed where we were, we’d be relying on Shamet and Lee in the playoffs. Yikes!

Ayton mentioned that him and Durant have been working out with each other. I figure while the Suns have been on the road for the few games last/this week. Really excited to see KD back.

you know what shamets deal is? He looks like he's in turbo mode when he shoots, he never seems comfortable... ever. I honestly feel like if he just tried to slow down and relax he'd be a better player. easier said than done but he's def skizzo mode.

I love KO. I wish we could have gotten a KO/Vanderbilt package done somehow. Bridges is seriously starting to give me Scottie Pippen vibes.
