2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

That ship has sailed.

It would be appropriate for Isaiah Thomas to end his career with the Kings as he was drafted by them in the 2011 draft at #60.

The Suns should have never let him go early in his career.

Just from body language and character, before he left the suns, it was mostly obvious he was the one to keep.

Ryan McDonough stubbed his toe with Dragic, Bledsoe, Ennis and Thomas.

I would go back and trade Bledsoe for a starter/rotation piece and start Dragic and Thomas in the back court. That could have been fun.

Goran Dragic wanted to play point guard but I don't think Isaiah Thomas would have complained if the Suns told him he was the shooting guard.

Goran turned out to be D, didn't he flip us off too? Didn't he make negative comments later when he was on the heat? I heard the Heat were having Dragic night or something? or did that already happen?

McD didn't handle that situation well (understatement) but yeah, Goran quit on us mulitple times leading to him being traded away twice. After the second time we traded him, he took a few shots at Ryan and the Suns. But then again, who didn't. We pissed off a lot of players while Sarver was at the helm.

Yeah, it's hard for me to blame players during the Sarver reign.

Having Sarver as an owner and McD as the GM is kinda like having your mother-in-law and your ex-girlfriend come for a visit.

Wow, that response from Magic is almost as stupid as the comment from Edwards.

For a player with arguably the highest bball acumen all-time he sure does say and tweet some dumb stuff.

It was an asinine comment by Edwards. MJ was great, but the ONLY skilled player of his time? Not even Scottie Pippin?

 

[leclerc]

So many skilled players. Not sure what Ant was thinking. He's young. Give him some slack.

$62.6 million dollars for a single year?

 

[Mainstreet]

Stephen Curry and Nikola Jokic are probably the only two players worth that kind of money.

Not sure who cares less about the penalty tax...Golden State or the Suns.

Golden State isn't paying the tax this year. They're out of tax hell.

Incorrect.

Not according to this. Man, Golden State Warriors and Clips? People think we are bad.

Crazy. The site I saw had the luxury tax payment for GS now at around 14m, not 176m. Wondering if one, that is the payment that was made by GS earlier this summer, but NEXT summer's payment will be less. I think right now the Suns are easily the highest tax payer now.
