Don't see why you are here if you loath the entire team and organization. Just grudge **** at every turn, dosnt seem like it should be fun or interesting under those terms but.... here yall are.

Oh shut the hell up man, yeah we want this team to win a fcking title in our lifetime but at the same team, Suns are the biggest circus in sports. It’s a clownshow, Ishbia has turned them into that. That’s why even other respected assistant coaches want nothing to do with this organization and running away even despite the opportunity for a massive payday.

Unless you’re from Michigan, nobody has merit in Ishbia’s eyes. And yeah many of us are gonna bitch about that till he changes his ways or sells the team.

And no, you don’t know what’s fun or not for other people. Laughing at this ***show of an organization is actually becoming very entertaining and fun for me especially seeing how they one-up their terrible moves.

Even beyond that, it would still be impossible at this point even if they had a '31 because their '32 pick was frozen after finishing this past season over the second apron.

This is the type of s*** Ishbia is tolerating and even promoting btw. Guy is still employed by the team even though he should’ve been fired long time ago for incompetence alone with his role in the Beal trade.

My guess, he and Ishbia are part of the "club" -- good old boys, frat boys, players who played in baggy shorts and were too short to be good club
you name it

he should have been fired over the Beal trade is right
especially when you consider the warriors gave the wizards a FRP to take Poole for CP3
Burns has mentioned that was a possiblity. Not nearly as terrible of a contract either

Funny Ayton is probably one of the younger centers who couldn't be played off the court during the Suns run back then. It took Booker and KD literally alienating him offensively with Monty's blessing got him to sulk and ruin the suns core.

I just wish the KD trade never happened.. what a landslide spiral down the drain since.


Each trade since the KD trade is one that digs us deeper into a hole we seemingly can never dig ourselves out of.

KD is a locker room cancer, he sulks and gets coaches fired and has zero leadership ability and he's proven incapable of leading a team on his own and could only win in GSW on a stacked team where he didn't have to be a leader but even then he got called out by Draymond and rightfully so.

Very much so. And a lot of commentary I see about both KD and Booker is purely "how many ppg did they score?"

Its winning and yes, the Beal and Ayton trades didn't help - but the team has gotten worse since the Durant trade

His father is Beal's agent in case you weren't aware.

Checked ESPN trade checker and Durant for Vassell, Johnson works straight up. Obviously they would have to include #14 and like 2 future 1sts. We get younger and we can try and trade Allen and of course Beal.

I hope they don't go after Thibs. Don't want Booker tearing his ACL.

Jalen Green + Whitmore + Landale + #10 (after signing him) probably works but if they need to add salary we can get Aaron Holiday who has a $4.9M team option.

That way we match salaries and we would get much needed depth and youngsters under contract.

Holiday BTW can be a good backup PG. I like him. I don't care about Landale, we can yse him on another trade or play him as a third string C.

If we can't get our own picks back we can probably get the Rockets picks unprotected because they will be (presumably) really good in the next few years. But the NBA is unpredictable so those picks would be valuable and a good tradeable assets.

I don't think the Suns will get three FRPs for Durant. My guess - -your trade Vassell, Johnson (or Barnes) 14 and maybe one more FRP

Allen and O'Neale - -get younger or expirings for cap space.

Vassell, Barnes & #2 - Call it a day.

Castle
Fox
Sochan
Durant

Keep in mind this is all hearsay
It is not Cunningham claiming this, in fact, she completely denies it. A fired security head claims his replacement was spreading that rumor. Tabloid journalism.
But more stuff for you to B**** about.
