I sure hope the Suns are not serious about extending Kevin Durant--that that statement was only for show--or that they simply change their mind. Because I am convinced that the Heat are telling the truth that they don't want Bradley Beal. They might possibly take Kevin Durant, so it's either Durant or nobody for Beal. Beal is stuck here.

It doesn't concern me very much that Butler would form a new core with Booker and Beal, because Beal is currently coming off the bench anyway. The Suns' problem is personality issues. All three of their best players are too laid back.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce O'Neale is PROBABLE.

Jusuf Nurkic (illness) is OUT.

Enough with KD for Butler crap. Butler is a far worse player than KD. That idea doesn't make any sense.

If we are going to trade KD it needs to be primarily for draft picks, not for a player that keeps our salary pegged at the limit and still makes us a crappy team.

If you're bored of hearing this "crap," you're welcome to mute me, by clicking my ID in the left corner of my comment, and clicking Ignore. It's a more effective solution than swearing. Nobody on arizonasportsfans.com has to keep reading comments from people who annoy them. But out of consideration, I'll withhold further comment on my idea in this thread, at least until you have had time to mute me.

Bet on a loss tonight. I am watching the game! Lock it in on FanDuel!

 

[Yuma]

Looks like they learned to go to the hole on PHX from last game.

 

[Yuma]

Fans still standing for that first score....

 

[Yuma]

Can we trade for Mark Williams?

 

[Dback Jon]

This team is bad

 

[Yuma]

On a podcast I watched, they were talking about two straight wins without Nurkic. They wondered, is it as easy as taking your worst plus/minus guy out of games and the elimination of turn overs, etc by that player helps the team win?

Posted the halftime score for @Mainstreet

 

[Yuma]

That was a beautiful bounce pass by Mark Williams.

 

[Hoop Head]

We made a nice run in the second to tie it up with KD on the bench and I'm surprised he hasn't been sat in the 3rd since he got his 4th foul early. The energy isn't there. Tyus is tentative, Booker is ok, Beal looks good, KD is lazy, Royce is trying, Dunn can't shoot today, and Grayson got hurt. Also Plumlee as a starter is reason alone for JJ to be fired.

 

[Dback Jon]

This team is just stupid and lazy

 

[Yuma]

Royce just tried to throw it THROUGH two guys. LOL!
