Sophie Cunningham according to the latest lawsuit

How do we change owners and still get sued

LEGEND!! Sophie is amazing!

Beal and Booker have similar games, with Beal more inclined to shoot the two and a stronger attacker of the rim and better defender, although much more prone to get injured.
If Beal cannot be moved, we should find out what we could get for Booker. We just need a first level SG in the roster. One of the two has to go, because spending 100 million a year in two similar SGs is completely stupid.
If KD is also moved, then we can get back some interesting players so our roster is decent enough next year as to think about the PO or even further.
Depending on the coach and the culture he is able to implement here.

Booker is so much better than Beal at this point, it's not even a comparison.

I’m not sure I agree with that. Booker just gets to shoot 90% of the time because it’s “Bookers” team. I firmly believe if the role was reversed and Booker went to Washington and it was “Beal’s team”, Booker would be in the exact same boat as Beal and people would be sh$&@ing on Booker.

This team has been cursed since Jerry sold this team. One scambag owner to the next scumbag owner. Ishbia ended up being a wolf in sheep clothing. It’s time we all face the fact that Ishbia is a total slim.

Why does Arizona in general attract the worst type of human beings as possible as owners of sports teams. I don’t get why Arizona is so cursed.

Haynes reports Sweeney, Fizdale, Borrego, Bryant, Ott, Hetzel, Nori and Bliss have moved to the second round.

Suns want the coach to build a brand new program, align with the front office and have a defensive background.

No decision yet on moving KD.

Why does this feel like the Terry Porter situation all over again??

Yes! Most likely! They could unload Cam Johnson/ Claxton/ filler a ton of picks while also having enough cap space to completely structure their roster to whatever Giannis prefers! And Giannis would be close to his businesses in New York too!

I might wonder though if Milwaukee would expand it to being a 3 team trade with New Orleans involved too in order to get their picks back from the Pels! Their 26' and 27' 1st swaps. I could see Milwaukee sending Giannis to Brooklyn, Johnson and Claxton to New Orleans, and then Zion/ Murray/ their 1sts back to Milwaukee.

That was a really interesting report.

Ott, Hetzel are the only two that have Michigan's connections and personally didn't know anything about them. I don’t know anything about Sweeney neither.

I know a bit about all the other five candidates. Fizdale and Borrego are the ones with HC experience.

Fizdale has been the last two years on the Suns...I don't know if that's a bad or good thing but I like him. Probably my favorite option from this group.

BTW, I like that we are waiting to get a HC to decide about KD's future on the Suns.

Sophie Cunningham according to the latest lawsuit

How do we change owners and still get sued

I was hoping that Sophie would be Drysdale's replacement sooner than later. She looks good, speaks well and knows basketball. If Bartelstein is behind this, I repeat, why is he still employed by numb nuts. He should have been fired at the end of the season for getting us involved with Bradley Beal and his dad. I guess it is all in the family. That is the main reason that we have fired three head coaches. WTF.

Why don't they just make Ott our next head coach and stop making like they are doing a competent search?

Do you like Ott as a HC?

Kellan Olson:

Hetzel started as a Michigan State student manager in 2003. Ishbia's last year on the team was '02 and Gregory's was '03.

(He has also been a NBA assistant since 2014 FWIW and started in player development with the Pistons in '09).

Ott, a NBA assistant since 2018 that stared in video with Atlanta in '13, was with Michigan State from 2006-13.

I no nothing about him other than he has ties to Michigan State. Keep it in the family seems to be what matters most for Ishbia. I think Bliss has ties to Michigan State as well. Take your pick.
