This poll is used to point out how we have a honeymoon period with most players that put on a Suns uniform, but then become angry at some part of their game at minimum to total disgust trade at all costs!

I mean, I understand the situation we’re in, we’re so limited it’s hard to trade. All we can do it tweak things so I’m happy we are trying to improve a glaring weakness. It isn’t about him being a better player as it’s about him being a better fit.

21 & 11 with a +22 in 29 min 1st time out with the team is a good start. I did not watch the game but just checked ESPN. I would say 100X better than POS Nirc

I had to pick one and figured "lack of hustle over a week" was the most fair. He looked really good and as long as he plays hard, I'm happy. He didn't cost much so I'm cool with him playing like a backup for 20-25 minutes a game. Expecting more is asking too much, IMO. Ill take more but I don't expect it.

So you seek to use a "poll" to criticize someone or other for complaining about this or that player, do you? Fine: I'll mock your intent by trotting out something that I normally post to mock not complainers but fanboys. (I call it "If Comic Book Guy Loved the NBA.")

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Nick Richards is the best there ever was at every statistic in the game. If you disagree, shut up, or I'll come to your home and make you watch videos of all Nick's best games. (Yes, I know where you live, because Nick told me.) Which could take a while, because that means every game he's ever played in.

As everyone but
youuuuuuu knows, Nick scored every basket; grabbed every rebound; and made every steal and block in every game, even the games played before he was born. He did that for the opposing team, too, because they couldn't do it against him and he felt sorry for them. Nick also coaches the team himself (Mike Budenholzer being a figurehead) as well as the other team (meaning all other teams begged him to temporarily replace their own coach during the game).

There should be college courses taught on Nick Richards; they ideally would be required for every major. If Victor Wembanyama wants to stop fooling himself and become a great player, he should start by changing his first name to Nick. Best...player...ever. Buy whatever product or service he tells you to buy on TV or the internet.

P.S. I have a master's degree in folklore and mythology.

There is not much downside in trading for Richards.

The Suns were desperately in need of a center capable of providing an inside presence on both offense and defense.

I will miss Josh Okogie, but the price paid for a center who is capable of starting was minimal.

This trade reminds a bit of the trade for Rachaun Holmes except, the Suns only gave up cash in that trade.

Two comparable players, always go bigger.
