He's not even that good a player and here KD23 is, nut hugging him like some groupie.


One comment is nut hugging???

I’m saying y’all crying about something that he did. He got a second chance and I’m sure he won’t do it again. If he does, no nba and jail


You called him a stud. He's a mediocre player who gets his numbers on a trash team, where's he's a top option and getting fed by 1 of the best PGs in the league.

He won't have Melo Ball feeding him.
He won't be a top option.
He's not a great dirty work guy.
He's an undersized PF.....on a team that's small enough.
He's gonna want a big contract.
Because of ^^^^ he will gun for his stats.

We need guys who don't care about touches and just want to be out there. You want a scumbag player on our team? Fine. Try and get Draymond. At least he offers things that are useful to the team we have.

Miles Bridges will be a waste of time on this Suns team.

I watched that game last night and was concerned about how many extra shots the Pacers were getting based on rebounding and hustle. I felt like we were also having trouble on the offensive side of the ball but 17 freaking points in the 4th quarter with the big 3 healthy, well Beale was messed up, is unacceptable.

What is the problem. Roster or Coaching?

I think both are to blame. This type of performance has been an ongoing problem all season. We are still the worst scoring team in the entire NBA at 24.7 points per game. If we do not fix this issue we have no chance in the playoffs, if we make the playoffs.

This is what needs to be fixed whether it be coaching or roster.

Last night the Big 3 did not get in done in the 4th quarter.

Melo is a top PG? Miles would be a great fit for this team. I hope we get him

LMAO

Of COURSE you show up after the 1st loss in weeks. Of course you do. I didn't see a single post from you during the 7 game win streak, but the second we lose, you can find time to be here gloating and happy about our loss.

:clown:

LaMelo Ball offensively is 1 of the best young PGs you can ask for. We're all very lucky that the Dubs took Wiseman instead of him or Steph might be looking at passing Mike for 6 rings.

The weirdest thing to me about the whole thing is that she deleted the original post she made, and later tweeted this....

Let me help you out with the translation:

"Miles is the father of my kids and as such, I'm entitled to a very nice slice of whatever his next contract is. I really, really, REALLY want some team to hand him 100 million guaranteed, as that means I'm probably a lock to get a minimum of 10 million of that between the kids and alimony.

Forget about the beating I took and sign that man to a deal, so I can pretty much retire from the working world. Please and thank you."

Happy to help.

I kind of get that, but I will also give her the benefit of the doubt and not assume she is completely lying. There are many reports her relationship was toxic and he only got probation.

It's never excusable what he did if he caused all those injuries, and I've wondered what could instigate something like that..whether she was drunk coming at him with a knife or something. Slapping the kids around? Who knows for sure. Is she completely innocent and he just randomly came home and beat the crap out of her?

No excuse, but there is still typically more to a story than meets the eye. Is she really lying when she says he is not a woman beater and she was unfair and what she said wasn't entirely true? I don't want to call her a liar.

Anyway, I don't like to make assumptions without complete information.

I don't respect him obviously and think he obviously is likely a piece of **** for what happened, but I don't know the details of everything, even though I know it's not excusable unless there is some sort of extenuating circumstances like self defense, defense of children, etc.

And of course you'd create that spot by doing a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 or 3 for 2 type of consolidation trade for a more known proven name from our trade discussions, etc.

Also not to forget Donovan Williams as a long high energy super athletic two way wing currently flying under the radar in the GLeague.


He wasnt a thing at the time of the Ayton trade. Hes tradeable now I think but would have to sign off on it.

Thanks man!
I'd love to get him (if he'd sign off on it) which I'm sure he would for a chance to contend, as I personally think he'd really address our perimeter/3 pt defensive issues. I know he's not really much of a two way player, but he is a proven lockdown wing defender with better efficiency than Okogie as previously mentioned. :D

See this is why I said nut hugger. You're doing way too much here. Too much excuses and theatrics for a mediocre player, who will never likely hit the numbers he's hitting. Especially here and after he signs a new deal.

He's not even a top 150 player, and you're in groupie zone. Defending a guy who would be a 6th man on a good team. Maybe. He's not good enough to white knight.

Buddy, your gonna be old one day to and share same sentiments as majority of us do. I can’t wait until you grow a pair and see the sunlight instead of spouting nonstop bs. Btw, how exactly does the Phoenix Suns know you exist? Are you their personal chef or something please enlighten us?
