Goodwin sighting
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Book may just make a run for MVP this season. He looks ready for it.

Nurk looked alright I guess. Nice to have that 3 ball...maybe not as a real, you know, option, but its there occasionally in a way where we didnt have that previously. Got cooked I think twice or so in the PnR as expected but whatever I guess.

Wild to see Metu taking 3s in transition like that. Maybe not something I want to see very often...

also who the **** is number 27 for us lol.

Also yeah...Brogdon is a monster off the bench.

He is clearly just a big body out there. How did he get an NBA contract.

Suns played like absolute sh*t and still put up 37. Not reading much into preseason crazy random lineups.

I was projecting him to be top 3 in MVP voting, depending on if Booker wants to go for that accolade or not.

Guess we have 85 games to find some defense.

40 points to the Blazers, even with Ayton typically Ayton when you expect something.

Glad you understood that. My phone's "autocorrect" decided to go rogue.

KD hasn't played well so far but it's kinda crazy to have Book come off to rest and you bring in KEVIN DURANT to start the 2nd quarter.

Good observation. Feel like there were a lot of mid range shots taken.

Yeah, I don't really care about the overall results, but want to see what these new guys bring.
