Ayton has played a lot of basketball over the summer. Start paying attention.

Seeing Ayton choose basketball when he can be doing anything else during his time off is pretty refreshing, definitely not something we’ve seen from him in his career yet. I’m excited for him.

No Mark Jackson next season... then I saw he's being replaced by Doc Rivers gravely annoying voice. Fun.

Ayton means business he’s going to come in and dominate from the start no more lazy, unmotivated Ayton but a determined beast ready got set the league on fire. Plus with a new defensive minded coach god have mercy on his opponents.

So Book wears a tshirt under his jersey now? Looks weird

Also the jerseys are just okay. Not the best but not awful.

After seeing them on the players, I actually think they look pretty slick! At first I thought the logo/lettering was just too small. Now, I really like them.

Let's win a chip and make this jersey a classic!

They look good. No as good as 90s or Valley though. Whatever. They'll be gone in a year or two for worse one probably.

that's how jersey designs are nowadays. intended obsolescence. league is more concerned with recurring revenue more so than cultivating new classics. wish we had kept the Valley stuff longer than two years.

While I expect us to hold onto Deandre this season, one can't help but notice that the Suns have been building the roster out with guys who can play the 5 (Eubanks/Metu/Bol/Azubuike). Makes me think they have a contingency plan in place, depending on the circumstances, to trade DA if a good opportunity presents itself.

I dig the whites - they look cool. If the purple was a bit more neon tone it could even be sicker.

Noticed that as well, just didn't want to rock the boat... But don't be surprised if our GLeague team and our seconds next couple years are all C's... you just have to hit on one...

I feel the opposite. The white ones look weird, but the purple ones are nice.

Are you implying Ayton is Lazy and unmotivated?

Yes, I’m certain that has been implied not just by me but majority of Suns fans as well.

Come on, lets not get excited about Ayton wanting to play for his national team. That's like every players dream right up there with being drafted and winning a championship.

If you were an NBA player what would be your dream to accomplish in the league?

Getting to my second contract

With the Deandre trade, which is closer to your take?
