Yes, Bradley Beal was a nice and respectful guy with fans and media in Phoenix
But the Beal era was an absolute failure on all parts that ruined some of the most talented teams in Suns history and really hurt the team's future
Beal often played like he was actively trolling all of us. From tying his shoes during play to laughing along with Steph, it became downright insulting
That plus the injuries, which inhibited him from defending and attacking the basket like he needed to, made his tenure one of the most disappointing I can remember for this team

The spilled milk crowd will have to get get over the initial tipping over of the glass and accept the messy clean up involved. Problem is Wishbia and crew spilled more than one glass. The dude needs a sippy cup.
May be we need a thread that limits excessive woulda-shoulda-coulda chatter and focuses more on what we can do… now. In time I suppose it will come. The trade machine is infectious. At the very least, these moves have reopened that wishful avenue of mindless delight.
Personally I hesitate trying to figure out how to right this ship and look more at what I think the front office will do, given their biases, inexperience and knee jerk tendencies. There are enough of you with ‘plans to improve’ mindset. Nothing wrong with that.
Furthermore.perhaps there are positives to take from this off season…. We got rid of Bud, NoShowJones, KD and Beal. Acquired legit talent and drafted some hopefuls. This is a clean slate… sort of.
Time will tell… but this team as constructed the past few years was azz.
Let us proceed

this would only work if Houston gave the suns pick back which might be the best asset in the NBA right now

[Windhorst] Before taking the Rockets offer, the Suns had in-depth discussions with the Minnesota Timberwolves about moving Durant for a package that included star center Rudy Gobert, guard Donte DiVincenzo, promising forward Terrence Shannon Jr. and the 17th pick in this year's draft

yea totally. Haven’t won a championship the normal way in 50 years, definitely expecting one in the next 5 if not this yearSunsdeuce wrote:I guess the pro “stretch and waive” peeps expect this team to put a contender together over the next 3-5 years.
