Its probably Durant at 5


I would hope no death lineup features Gordon. That guy is being wildly overrated, IMO. Would prefer to see KBD or Yuta finishing games. Hopefully they stay healthy!

Pure shooting

Beal, Gordon, Booker, Watanabe, Durant

I'm glad it's not our problem to defend that

It would make our team even more stacked and the league might as well hand us our first nba championship trophy. Regardless if we acquire him or not, I can’t see us losing this year. I’ve never been more confident in a squad since 01 when I began watching suns basketball.

If Lowry was 30, maybe there's a dynasty in the making but dude will be 38 before the playoffs begin.


I think Lowry had a better season by EPM than Gordon, iirc. He was pretty effective off the bench, which helped limit the downsides of being 38. Wish Paul had that humility for us.

I talked to two different teams this morning and both independently mentioned that they are monitoring the Thunder and what happens with the roster.

One exec told me "Some good players are going to get cut from OKC and we all need to be ready to jump when that happens."

Keinrich Williams anyone?

no chance imo. He played really well for them last year and theyre looking to win a playoff series or two this year. I think they mean more along the lines of players like Garuba getting cut.

More words from Ayton. I'd tell him to shut up and dribble, but he can't do that either.

Thank you! Getting sick of Ayton slander it’s becoming extremely annoying. No matter what he says or how he feels people will continue to call him out. Nobody wants to understand he’s a human being and just because he hasn’t lived up to anyone’s stupid expectations does not mean he should be ridiculed 24/7. Without him you guys wouldn’t even see a finals appearance in 21 and be stuck in 93 last time we made the finals. I wish DA was #10 pick so people would lower their expectations instead he’s ridiculed for mainly existing. F——— you all no wonder bullying still exists bunch of little kids harassing nba players or anyone in sight. Once again F——— you all.

Denver played 7 guys over 14mpg during their playoff run:

Book
KD
Beal
DA
Gordon
KBD
Yuta

That’s 7 not including Goodwin, Okogie and Eubanks who can come in and do some dirty work depending on foul trouble or matchups. I just don’t see how this team isn’t significantly better than last year’s team on paper.

Devin Booker giving us a sneak peek at the new Suns uniforms. Notice that the trim patterns match my latest predictions. You can also see a little bit of the sunburst on the white jersey. I need to adjust my colors a little bit camera setting/lighting can be tricky.

Its funny to me how sensitive some people are about Ayton, especially when what I said was a joke aimed at his lack of ability to create. Good lord.

Yea, weird how you're purely talking about basketball and get personally attacked. Ayton should do himself a favor and let his play do the talking.

If you can’t criticize an underachieving player then this forum has lost its purpose.

He has been criticized more than Donald Trump in the past few years. That’s how much Suns fans despise him. Whenever his name gets mentioned everyone comes out of the woodworks to state their negative opinion about him. No matter what Ayton says in an interview, people will interpret his words differently cause they’ve already made up their mind a long time ago that he should be despised. Even if he cures cancer everyone will still say “ but but he’s too soft who can’t dunk”.
