    Suns @ Cavaliers Wednesday game thread 11-24-2021

    I've been away from this site for a few months and now the board is communicating in some strange code language.

    Hawks @ Suns Saturday game thread 11-6-2021

    I hope this isn't one of those mysterious TJ Warren injuries.

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    The goat incident itself was a pretty egregious workplace violation.

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    Yes, but his protests were a stronger stance against racism than the “I have a lot of black friends” defense typically deployed by some white people.

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    Never would’ve guess Sarver was racist. I remember when the team broke out the Los Suns jerseys as a protest against AZs racist “papers please“ bill. In context, I always saw that as a pretty bold protest that might have gone against popular sentiment, but was the morally correct stance. Made me...

    The Ayton Plan

    Sarver deserves the worst possible outcome. This summer the Suns will sign-and-trade Ayton to the lakers for Horton-Tucker and a 2028 pick. Then I can go back to ignoring the playoffs for a decade as Ayton wins 3 championships in LA.

    The Ayton Plan

    Ayton and Bridges were 12th and 14th in win shares in the entire league last year. They were ahead of Trae Young, Luka Doncic and Booker. They were the best defensive players in a team that made the finals. They should have been re-signed long ago.

    The Ayton Plan

    I would argue that the market was set when Ayton showed he could be the second or third best player on a Finals team. I don't care about his deficiencies anymore, he's a winning player. I think its idiotic that they have made it this close to the deadline without signing him to an extension.

    Suns open Las Vegas Summer League August 8th, 2021

    Josh Jackson was on the Summer League first team in 2017. Ayton was second team in 2018.

    Suns open Las Vegas Summer League August 8th, 2021

    "Flex" is the most optimistic homer on twitter. He probably still thinks the Suns can come back and beat the Bucks. He does seem to have inside info, but his analysis is biased.

    2021 NBA Free Agency and Trades

    They have similar advanced stats. They both have strong positive impacts on winning. They obviously have very different strengths and styles of play.

    Mikal Bridges going forward

    I'm amazed at how underrated he is on this board. It reminds me of Shawn Marion. The things that he can't do are obvious to everyone, but I think the things that he's really good at are just as important, and less obvious. It reminds me of the old NY Times article about Shane Battier...

    Suns sign Javale McGee

    That doesn't answer the question! Were you watching the games?!?!

    2021 NBA Free Agency and Trades

    Seems like James Jones values team chemistry more than most GMs.

    He got in a fight with Booker a few years ago.

    Landry Shamet traded to suns for Javon Carter and 29th pick

    Read the post I was responding to

    Landry Shamet traded to suns for Javon Carter and 29th pick

    You're right. I was looking at playoff stats which are meaningless for Carter...

    Landry Shamet traded to suns for Javon Carter and 29th pick

    From that I deduce that he must've been dribbling around taking dumb shots to drop his total percentage to 37%.

    Landry Shamet traded to suns for Javon Carter and 29th pick

    Carter's numbers were not better than Shamet's. Carter's defensive stats weren't that good either.

    Landry Shamet traded to suns for Javon Carter and 29th pick

    His 3pt% would be the 7th best on last season's team.

    Landry Shamet traded to suns for Javon Carter and 29th pick

    Moore got minutes when Paul was injured.

    Landry Shamet traded to suns for Javon Carter and 29th pick

    You're right, he's a backup guard who is replacing last year's back up guards. I don't that makes the team any better. Shamet's 3pt percentage has been declining since he entered the NBA and his advanced stats are not very good.

    Landry Shamet traded to suns for Javon Carter and 29th pick

    He got playoff minutes on a team with an injured all-star backcourt. I don't think that is too meaningful. Maybe his better than Galloway, but I'd say the improvement is marginal.

    Landry Shamet traded to suns for Javon Carter and 29th pick

    I "think" I posted "statistics" in this thread showing Galloway and Shamet to be very similar players.
