    RIP: Al McCoy (1933-2024)

    Dang, this hurts. He brought such joy to so many without ever making it about himself. The soul of the franchise is gone. Suns fans are a long-suffering lot, and he's been the one consistent bright spot through the whole experience.

    2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

    The alternative is to scapegoat Vogel, which everyone else seems more than happy to do. Look carefully at the Lakers' 2019-20 roster, coached by Vogel, and ask how that team went 52-19 en route to a title. After James and Davis, their next three players in total minutes were Kentavious...

    Right, it would have to be quality picks, for example several of the Suns' own that the Nets hold.

    The Durant trade was a high-stakes gamble with a low probability of success. Some say it was worth the risk. Maybe it was and maybe it wasn't, but that's water under the bridge now. What's indisputable is that the gamble did not work. The trade cannot be undone, so the question is what to do...

    Simmons and picks for Durant would be a no-brainer for me, but there would have to be a third team.

    Cardinals QB Murray: 'Not my job' to decide when ball goes to Harrison

    Why you guys keep insisting Murray can be a top QB is beyond me. Despite his draft position, everything about his pro career has screamed mediocrity.

    This certainly isn’t the Kyler we’re used to….

    I think board policy is that you aren't allowed to question a moderator's decision.

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    And yet the consensus is that he hardly impacted the team's W-L, which means that having even higher expectations for him is quite unrealistic.

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    I agree with that, and I agree that if you view Bridges as the centerpiece of the Durant deal, it was a reasonable gamble for the Suns to take. Where we disagree is on the value of the picks. Even if it's true that a mid lottery pick isn't all that likely to pan out, it has great trade value...

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    The earliest the Suns could have significant cap space is the summer of 2027, and if the rumors of extending Durant are true, you can kiss that goodbye. There is no prospect for being "flush with cap space" until the Suns move on from both Beal and Durant.

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    Extending Durant would be the worst decision in the history of the franchise.

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    50-and-fade is not that hard to attain if you have a spendthrift owner, so you should be in good shape. It's true that last year's team was unwatchable, but I think that was partly (emphasis on "partly") because of how unrealistically high the expectations were. If the fan base comes in...

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    It's weird to me that 50-and-fade has become the benchmark of success for this franchise, when for decades it was a source of frustration.

    Am I Racist? (Documentary)

    I really dislike being called racist, but I accept it as the price of progress. I try to remind myself that, historically, other people have been called horrible things too.

    OMG, this in-season tournament is sponsored by big oil? That's why the league is doing it? They're no better than LIV. What a horrible sell-out Silver is.

    Durant to Suns

    It's a general rule that boutique stocks are overvalued, because retail investors bid up the price without knowing what they're doing. This cannot be a serious inquiry. Durant's poor judgment and utter lack of self-awareness are in blatant display on a regular basis.

    Durant to Suns

    A good investment is defined not by the quality of the product, but by the price you pay relative to the value of what you receive. I'm sure the distinction is lost on Durant.

    Watching Durant is just so painful. I almost never watch anymore, and every time I do, I regret it almost immediately.
