Isn’t Matt Ishbia trading away Bridges, Johnson and our entire future collection of picks for a turd version of KD worse than any one trade or one basketball transaction Robert Sarver did in 18 years of ownership?

Serious question.

Greatest shooter of all time + Booker = 87 points against mediocre defense. LOL

3 things:
Officiating
Cp3 injury
Bad KD game

Even one of those going the other way could be won us the game

KD shot us out of this game. Guy looks like a bum out there. We don't need him to have a great game he just needs to either not shoot 12 3s or he needs to make 5 of them. That's not asking for greatness that's asking for a basketball player.

No, but he's keeping the tradition alive

How do you not play Warren or Ross when the bench has 4 points

Well done, Ishbia. We wanted a splash but not a turd to go with it.

We get a new coach we'll be fine. If Ishbia really wants to fix it, he'll hire Presti though to make the most use out of our limited assests and to draft actual good players. Maybe Bob Myers.

Game turned around with that BS foul on Ayton and then CP going down with the injury, right into KCP hitting 3 3s.

We had this one, but all our shots were **** short. It's not like Denver was playing amazing defense. We missed open **** shots. Suns have 3 days to get their heads out of their asses now.

There isn't an easy matchup anywhere in the West.

I know but the way the team played wasn't inspiring. I thought they had it clicking finally tonight then CP3 goes down and there goes the game and perhaps the series

Paul hurts his groin right at 2nd round game 2 which was when he did last year after a big game and his play which was great in that game, went down the drain. Paul was just ok this year (on occasion really good) when really healthy, so if he's hobbled, he probably won't be worth playing. Of course we don't have a backup PG. We have Craig instead (via Jalen Smith instead of Haliburton)

Definitely worth consideration if we're truly being honest.

Cam Johnson shot 42% from 3 in the playoffs. Mikal Bridges shot 40% from 3.

It’s called Monty Williams. He’s what’s wrong

Jones not doing anything in the offseason, Monty Python wasting valuable chemistry development time giving Shamet minutes instead of Payne/Lee/Warren/Ross...

oh nos abound. Suns clown car continues well into the 2020s...

...... and none of it mattered in the playoffs. They couldn't even win 1 game in the 1st round.

No.

Then tell me one trade or transaction that’s worse.

The Joe Johnson one? Shawn Marion? Hell no.

I don't have any confidence in the front office at this point, even with Ishbia's wallet being pretty open. It guarantees absolutely nothing. And what drafts? We have NO picks other than maybe a few seconds over the next decade unless we somehow sucker some (or buy them) from other teams.

We are cooked.

We lost identity after losing Bridges, CamJ, Crowder & Saric. Four guys who played together for multiple years together and gained KD, Ross & Warren. Payne is no longer an NBA player and Ayton’s vagina tear was brutal. At this point iso Booker and KD isn’t the way to win this isn’t mid 2000’s anymore.
