We're going to mess around and lose this.

Dummy!

I wouldn't be thrilled but I think hes a way better fit than BB. I mean Richards looks like to be a huge upgrade in the middle both offensively and defensively, Jimmy might be that last piece to at least make us competitive in the playoffs.

I would take butler over beal any day of the week

[SkyBill40]

As I've said before and still stand behind, Butler allows Booker to play his natural position of SG and not have to defend bigger and stronger SF position players.

Whatever happens happens. Yall already know I hate the direction we're going.

I'd be a lot happier if I didn't have to watch mason plumlee get minutes even as a backup.

8th seed whaddayaknow.

Just passed Dallas who everyone considers to be a threat again this year.

[MrMiyagi]

We should be in the 4-5 range, one step at a time I guess.

Booker is playing SG after Beal to the bench move, no ?

It's true Butler is a better fit primarily on D, not so much on O, but at what cost.

They've had more injuries than us and if healthy Mavs are definitely a much bigger threat. Doncic is back soon, so while I wish they stay behind I wouldn't count on it.

What happened to Dunn ?

Jones, Allen, Royce and Forrest Gump with 4/26 on 3s in a game defense is hardly being played. Yikes.

Yes, thankfully, that move is allowing him to play at his best position.

I don’t understand how you can watch this particular team and find joy doing so. I watch for few minutes whether we leading or losing then immediately turn my tv off. We went from one of most exciting teams to a super boring unlikable team. But to each their own I guess.

Yeah, do yourself a favor and do something else.

I certainly will, I refuse to watch this garbage product like you. Keep your hopes up for Jimmy Butler can’t wait till you start going crazy for next decade when we completely suck azz. Idiot

What are you trying to do? This is a Suns forum and it's to talk about the Suns and basketball with respect to each other.

[sunsbg]

Ok, Suns proved they can beat bad teams with some consistency. Now three games against middle of the pack teams where we belong. Chance for Nick to show he belongs against playoffs calibre Cs in Zubac and Gobert.

On another note how does Suns FO continues the mismanagement of players. Crowder, now Nurkic. If you are going to trade a player why lower his value. They should stop bringing in divas with history of causing trouble. Butler may as well become one as soon as the honeymoon period is over.

Yeah, 8 wins in the last 11 games and we are healthy now.

Nick Richards has been everything that we wanted in a C. That trade looks already an steal, we gave up 2 2nds and Okogie who was a bench warmer.

[Saberestar]

Dunn rolled his left ankle early in the first quarter of Saturday's game and did not return. Early tests and imaging seem to indicate that the rookie first-round pick avoided a major injury, but Dunn was seen leaving the arena on crutches, which puts his availability for Monday's game against the Clippers in serious doubt. Bradley Beal could return to the Suns' starting lineup should Dunn be out for a prolonged period of time.

SRB4G shouldn't go that far, but he's emotional guy and like me probably sees in you Ishbia representation on this board. Probably 80% of the fanbase hates him right now or what he has done to the franchise - mediocre present and bleak future.

[schnakenpopanz]

It is all about having fitting pieces together.
Player x might be a good player for the suns, but not a good player in another organization.
The work of a GM/FO has to be identifying these players, getting them for the lowest cost possible and the Return is hgiher than expected.
That was key in the Nash years when everyone who played with him got the big bucks after being there.

Only thing I have against the Richards trade is that we got him 1 year too late. He was on our radar last season, instead we wasted a season going with Nurk/Eubanks

I never watched big Nick as a hornets so didn't feel too strongly at the time. Now having watched him, he's got legit NBA 5 size and athleticism. You can't tell me he wouldn't have been better than Eubanks as a backup at the very least
