    2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

    There's a difference in football string and basketball strong. There's a reason basketball players are all talk. That's not even factoring the difference in a football mindset that initiates contact and a basketball mindset that complains to refs all game. Plus Sharpe knows how to take down big...

    2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

    It's still comes down to the math. The less you use, the less you get. Then factor in The FG % on reduce usage. So you got to use them to get more. And again it's what the coach is going to do with what the GM selects. And the coach used players how he wants to...even still today for the vets...

    2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

    But the Suns picked none. And based on pure math, the Suns couldn't provide any of them same minutes & shots they all got on the team that selected them. Majority of those teams had "loosing" records with them getting those minutes. This aint just about a would could shoulda...it's a path the...

    The Suns choice to pass. When the Suns chose they also have to accommodate _____ . And it's the primary reason why they won year 1 & 2. If they chose otherwise they were losing year 1 & 2 and year 3 look like Indiana who may not make it past round one. A minimum of 3 years before you become...

    2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

    The Suns didn't pass on Haliburton, they chose CP3 and CP3 wouldn't have come if he wasn't the lead guard. Jones said they only want a vet in the lead guard position. They chose Cam Payne to be the lead guard backup. Only way to change that mindset is to change those with that mindset. The Suns...

    The Ayton Plan

    He's producing at the poward forward spot next to center producing more than Ayton right now. That's all that matters. Put him a Center he produces to for the Pacers at a higher rate when Myles was out. So. Suns lost to one of weak schedule teams the Pacers won against In essence the Pacers on...

    The Ayton Plan

    That team consistently has 5 to 6 players in double digits every game with a different group doing so each time. And Stix is one of the 5 that average double digits and plays the least amount of minutes but he should be playing more and have a bigger role to accelerate his development, most...

    The Ayton Plan

    I too agree it's also time to move on from how the Suns did him because clearly he's a year behind on his development and there is certainly something there. He is learning and performing in a new position (He is playing the Poward Forward postion next to another Center) after 2 years of...again...

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2022-23 season

    Imagine if you will if Jones had helped Smith a rookie with no experience vs a vet with years of experience. Oops he did do that. Hey Monty, Bizzy needs playing time too.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2022-23 season

    You might not be , i might not and Stix isn't either...but Monty & James since they are keeping that line of communication open think otherwise. So you might have some future sleepless nights.lol And Hali probably thanking his lucky gods his plan worked and the Suns didn't loose sleep passing...

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2022-23 season

    All the while yes Hali got 26 & 7 in 36 minutes and Stix 16 & 8 in 22 minutes. Suns don't want youngings right now. Now in 2 years, wouldn't surprise me if the Suns don't bid for both especially Stix since they still keep in touch.

    Jones must be so tired. He's one man doing the job of 10...some jobs are outside his areas of expertise. And boy how frustrating it must be to be tasked with the decision making only to have the boss man come behind you and say...NOPE.

    Cam Johnson

    Ok. The little extra you pay Cam now will be recouped in 24 months what looks like now by 300%. So it really is too much drama for a basic everyday kind of NBA transaction. Forecasting is a part of a part of the selling of a business process. So the Sun's don't have accountants & economist...

    Cam Johnson

    Why even negotiate at all then? The Suns set the market...at min than 10 million (more than Shamet $10mil & who he is replacing Crowder $9mil) and max his wonder twin $25 mil)...what he asked for is reasonable based on how he is treated by the Suns. And I don't think the team will be sold in 2...

    Cam Johnson

    Crazy how fans turn on you so quick. Crazy how players lock up a position because they are "better" than those glued to the bench yet when it's time to get paid well you aren't all that anyway when the market value is set for you to indeed get paid. It's like the Sun's management has...

    Cam Johnson

    I don't like the optics and it's a pattern that directed to certain players. What is confusing is you moved a starter to start him so you had to think he was valuable to the team. They didn't think he would think that move means he had more value too? Around the league teams are paying players...

    But doesn't the business of basketball still have to go on until the sale is made (which could take a long time) and isn't this is a "given" the new owner must accept? The new owner can adjust their offer according to what cost it will or won't eat that past the cost back to the seller to take...

    It's not as troublesome for a rookie you drop just beginning... but for a guy you said was a part of your young core who actually played and performed...it is a concerning pattern of behavior/attitude that's odd when you look at what the other 29 teams do where the players value to the team is...

    Funny i thought the opposite. The second is a pic with better lighting. Must have been taken with that new Google camera. I notice the better lighting across the league this season. The first pic looks stretched and exaggerated to me....but that's the undefined version of Zion. The second pic...

    Suns Media Day and Training Camp

    Man, stop...you are killing me. LMAO!! But seriously when Monty was quoting bible scripts during press conferences, I thought then and now with all that's transpired... I swear he was trying to cast out the Sun's demons. I was like why do I feel like I in church. Why do I feel dirty? LOL.

    Suns Off-season Thread

    I think Bookers statement could have been a lot stronger. He's signed, seal and delivered and there would be no penalty if he really spoke his mind. I just think he really didn't know what to say since he too thought the rumors he heard internally weren't true. I think he had a bamboozled...

    DA is gonna play pissed like he is trying to prove his dad wrong. And Monty will still be silent knowing in 10-20 years when they look back DA is going give Monty credit for that shift....and as a parent that is all a parent ever needs.

    I think also like that tough love dad, Monty is waiting for DA to come to him & bow down...I mean apologize. And if it don't happen then silent treatment until you need me....because as parents say "you gonna need me before I need you." And when DA comes for that talk, DA will be surprised...

    Suns Off-season Thread

    What's crazy to me is a player no longer on the team just recently said "again" that Monty still communicates him. That's crazy to me with what I hearing. Maybe because said player humblely acknowledged what it takes to win, was thankful for the experience says he learned a lot, took the lesser...
