Just a reminder, the Suns tanked to get to where they are now.

If CP3 even has an iota of a thought of leaving PHX..... please do whatever you can to bring him to NY.

He's in godfather mode right now.

Are you listening to this interview? He's not leaving Booker and Ayton to play with Randle and RJ.

The league is still going to make sure you see them get their championship rings and raise their banner, since we all should expect the league to make sure their first home game is against the Knicks. :lol:

Good thing nobody in NY will care about the Nets after their fake championship run is done with.

The Nets tanking helped many teams, the Blazers don't have Lillard without their generosity, he was taken with one of the Nets picks in 2012 :lol:

1) THe Suns have tanked since 2013.

2) They drafted 4 busts with Top8 picks: Alex Len (5th, 2013), Bender (4th 2016), Marquese Cris (8th, 2016), Josh Jackson (4th 2017). And I am not counting Jalen Smith (10th, 2020).

3) THey got their best players (except Ayton) with picks in the teens: Booker (14th, 2015), Mikal (10th, 2017), Cameron Johnson (11th, 2019).

4) In 2018, they tanked the right way, got the first pick, avoid drafting busts for a change picking a future all-star Ayton. But they could have picked Doncic.
