Is that the one who used to do game commentary as well?

Yeah she was good. Be a damn shame if she's no longer on the Mercury because of this crap

[lilfishi22]

lmaoooo I aint one to comment on another dudes (or girls) appearance but I guess if he's cheating then it's open season so LOL that dude is punching several levels above his weight even if he's rich. Maybe he got a mad texting game.

His wealth and position is doing all the heavy lifting. I don't think his text game really matters.

Bartlestein having sex with our female players who then got traded lol

Bartlestein had sex with Brittney Griner which is why she was traded?

Griner left as a free agent.

Yeah just saying it would be a shame if she left specifically because of this

So if I'm understanding correctly, she had coitus with the dude, caught a fever and then left?

I'm no detective but seems like there's a direct link there.

Stay safe kids.

No one is going to take Beal.
And thats fine. He just needs to stay healthy, he is a professional and can be turned around... but step 1 is health.
Suns cant get rid of him without sending out more of the future and its not going to happen. Stretching him is stupid because Suns still dont have any assets to bring cheaper replacements and Suns wont have enough cap room. He is most likely staying and again, thats fine, because his value can only go up.

There's a pattern here though.... Booker is a player value killer. That is all I will say. A team that caters for Booker first, means the supporting star gets shafted and end up unhappy with no value. KD, worth Mikal, Cam and 7 firsts is now just lucky to get 2 firsts.... thats just sad. Thing is, KD is still the Suns best player. But the losing has devalued him....

I expect the big three to be together on opening night. I expect whichever coach that comes up with a plan to make it work will be our new head coach. Not sure about Beal but Vogel won 49 games with him alongside Book.

I am just hoping that we get a couple of guys in the draft that are fun to watch as well as free agent PF and or PG that was not on last years roster.

It was nice to see Nick Richards at the Mercury's opening night game.

We need some team unity building this summer similar to Kyler Muray's softball game this past weekend. We used to have that prior to KD. Miss those days.

[Calvin Klein]

The 49 win season was terrible and not enjoyable at all. Last season was even worse and it makes it look ok in comparison, but don't forget it was awful and disappointing as well. There is no point in going back to that just to be a first round exit at best.

Changes need to be made because it's not gonna get better with these 3 players being the main guys.


Durant needs to go now. Unfortunately they waited too long and might end up getting a bad return just as it happened with Ayton. But he can't return.

If you can get a good package for Booker, you do it as well. Otherwise you keep him and see where it goes, maybe revisit at the deadline.

Beal, who knows...

If Spurs want Durant who do you take -

Stephon Castle or Dylan Harper

We likely wouldn't get either unfortunately because both of those players are considered ( by the Spurs) to be franchise cornerstone pieces. It'd be some combination of Vassell/:Barnes or Johnson ( I don't want Johnson)/ Sochan or filler/ couple 1-2 firsts).

And they'll try to lowball us for sure due to Gregory's lack of experience. And hold Vassell or Sochan out of any deal and instead try and push Wesley on us or something??

We'll have to negotiate from a position of strength, even if that's not completely accurate for our position. Better to hold onto him than to just give in to lowball offers if we get those.

I just don't see it with Booker, Beal and Durant. It hasn't worked And since the organization won't get move on from Booker, they have to trade Durant - -that is if they want to start winning and moving forward

Booker and Durant together I just don't think are the right players next to each other. Need to complement each other and they don't which is the point you made. Before Durant, this was a team. KD was not good for Booker

you hens need to read some more about this and curtail your soap opera clucking

This is a messy suit brought on by a disgruntled security official claiming DEI crap, wrong discharge/demotion with racial undertones. No where is there info on CEO Bart bopping the hottie hooper. Part of the suit is a different security head claiming the two were bedding down, spreading rumors. No comment from Cunningham and she’s not the plaintiff. Likely annoyed by the solicitous implications.

This law firm has 4 active suits against the Suns, one representing the former head DEI of all things. Hmmmm shady may be? It will play out as Matty not going for the shakedown.

Beal, who knows...

Yeah, no coach is going to make the roster "work" in relation to at least 10 other better rosters in the west, if not more. Only so much you can do. Can't always blame the coach. Wishbia effed this up and now we can just hope he starts to rebuild at some point, somehow, and we can make good picks. The absolute WORST case scenario is Booker become a FA and leaving at some point without us getting anything in return.

Does anyone know (dremill), if we extend Booker, when is he eligible to trade? Do we have to wait to a certain point?

I dont remember the exact details of the extension but since it would presumably lock him up for 4+ yrs, it would have to wait 6 months.

I will comfortably not watch next season (I'll scoreboard watch) if the big 3 return.
I also believe season ticket sales will plummet and, if we have any 'sold out' streak...well, that will end too

[TeamTragic]

Fischer reporting Suns are waiting on a decision from Giannis before moving KD and would be involved in the trade.

[BobbieL]

This would be a huge mistake to run it back with Booker and Durant
Just move forward - those two together do not work
