    The Ayton Plan

    DA, of all people, words being used to describe another's players (who best performed in DA's position) effort & desire is very interesting. Yet there's video from another coach who used to be in the Suns program explaining Smith with ethic, improvement behind the scenes and explaining why the...

    The Ayton Plan

    Asking an honest question....How do you explain when "Jalen" Smith played real time on the Suns he produced then went to another team played resl time with Indiana and continued to produced...while the vet the Suns got didn't produce at the same rate before the trade & didn't after? Respectfully...

    The Ayton Plan

    I think it was a convenient excuse for the owners on the money part. How your accountants & lawyers didnt tell you by draft night 2020 that the 10th pick would cause you more money problems if you plan to keep your 2018 1st pick ...and then you don't trade the 2020 10th pick starting draft night...

    The Ayton Plan

    It's a you don't get credit for the solution when you caused the problem. 20/20 ain't hindsight if you had control all along. Decision making has to be better. It's like nobody ever had to work with or for someone you don't like before.

    How many teams who play for championships are completely rebuilt and go to the finals within a year or 2 of a rebuild without their core players? All this mixing & matching and nothing about building. Championship teams are good because they are allowed to develop into champions after going...

    It's just a pity Stix will always be viewed in the vaccum made by the actions of the Suns. However, the Suns actions have caused Stix to be in a position to possibly paid a rate higher than his 10th pick. And that doesn't happen if he had not proved he wasn't bust. This to me confirms Jones...

    I don't think they were going to pick Hali. Rumor was they were picking Kira Lewis.

    I think Jones was trying to hold on but the owners were like but y'all not playing him and y'all want us to pay him to sit. So I think behind the scenes the assistant coaches and Jones probably voiced to Monty their disagreement with not playing Stix and Monty was like do yall want to win or...

    If you followed the pre-draft, Stix was mocked to and did pre-draft workouts for the13th pick New Orleans. Quite sure one of the things NO front office did was question him about if they were wrong about Stix too. Green didn't vouch for Stix (Green saw him at practice too) for nothing.

    Willie Green as the Head Coach of NO said the Suns pick Stix at 10 for a reason and NO had to pay attention to him. Right then I knew Willie was speaking about more than the game to be played.

    You are right. But they are operating a business within a business.

    Cam Johnson may disagree tho. I think this will be interesting to watch.

    Winning causes folks to not care about the how. Winning lets coaches keep their jobs. His coaching has a winning record. Every coach has a system and thought Stix could do it if he got the time since he came from a very guard oriented system in college. He had to incorporate that 3 pointer and...

    Maybe he had to learn how to apply his skills but it takes real game time to know to do it in the game too on the highest of levels. Monty & the Suns had no time to give & no time to wait. I wish they had tho.

    They were shocked when he could put the ball down & attack the basket too...which he did way better than shooting the 3. In college his 3 ball was the icing on the cake. Not the cake.

    And when he got his rhythm from constant minutes, he started doing all kinds of things he was doing in practice.

    I do think this is the most interesting thing not being talked about.

    Yeah he didn't "look" good getting a double double every game. That's why the NBA didn't say "the future looks good."

    I read Indiana going all out to keep him but multiple teams are trying to get him too. And the Suns looking for a PF and replacement Center.

    I respectfully call that nonsense because Monty beliefs factor in there too as was on full display with his constant unwavering inability to adjust. There were plenty of times Monty didn't Stix and played whoever on the bench instead when he could have played Stix. He did it alot. It was weird...

    Continued on to looked good in the preseason...when he got real playing time with the Suns...then that time Monty was out (I often wondered how the assistant coaches had the notion to play Stix like that. Monty would have never and played anybody but Stix)....then goes to Indiana continue what...

    It would look even more stupid to sign Stix after you declined DA. How does anybody expect the Suns to treat a rookie better than their double double anchor. DA is killed everyday by fans and he produced, he anchored the team to win tough games that the Sun otherwise would not have won....an...

    Monty and Paul don’t like each other

    There is a line line between love & hate.

    This Team is About To Be Broken Up!

    True. And you said "both" not just Smith. They both did well on a losing team like so many highly sought rookies in their draft class. All I'll say is every player that's good today probably developed on a loosing team first. I'll sneak in there was a stretch were Smith did good "on a winning...
