Congrats! Bring it!
Did you just call to get that?
So, I almost canceled on them this summer because they didn’t carry NFL Sunday Ticket. They threw me a 200 buck gift card and a year’s worth of free HBO/Cinemax credits, while lowered the overall bill by like 100 bucks for the next 12.
I agree... not yet. But it bears watching. I've been mostly on board with everything the Suns have done since he's been the owner. But there have been some slight misfires. Maybe he just came in overeager to make his mark (and that's certainly understandable). Hopefully he will get the hang of things as time goes on and put together a top notch front office to run things. Note - I don't think that should include Isiah Thomas (nor James Jones, necessarily).
What misfires are you referring to? I have not payed much attention since the playoffs.
Agree. Can’t recall a time in which it felt like it was this black and white, including 92-93 and SSOL era.
Giving up too many draft picks in the Durant deal and not maximizing the return on trading Ayton. Those things won't be too regrettable if we win it all next and/or the following year. But if not, there will be room to critique.
Yeah, I'm going to enjoy the ride, wide-eyed and hopeful, but if things go south there will be plenty to second guess and be pissed about. I'm just not going to focus on those things until the situation demands it.
Looks less than the 300 pound version. In my unscientific measuring eyeball!
They were looking to trade the bucks guard in the deal, so maybe PHX could or could have flipped Allen in the deal for something. Not sure if it's official yet?
I know we hammered this way too many times, but it was NOT an overpay for Durant. Any team would have had to pay that. Not just the Suns. It was the going rate. Plus arguably, those picks are going to be low rounders anyway. So not very valuable in trades or keeping them. With Beal on the team now, that makes it even more likely those picks are at the end of the round. Most here agree that getting Beal was an underpay. So those two players equal out the compensation package to basically even.
A lot of guys on talk radio had him above Nurkic on the trade on who they liked in our trade. Not that he's necessarily better than Nurkic, but they like his hustle. Kind of replaces the tough guy element we are missing.
I am pretty sure there was no more to get out of Ayton. It was keep him or this. They have been trying to trade him for a long time. If there was a better deal to be had they would have done it by now.
Well, both are arguable points, nevertheless. The proof in the pudding will be the outcome. If Durant isn't able to stay healthy (just for one example), we will likely regret both trades.
Yep, true, our pockets are empty but it's refreshing to have a FO that really goes 100 % for championship. That's unusual for a Suns club. We'll be here to witness it this season.
Still no sign of Allen…
