And one of those players (Baynes) clearly doesn't want to be here, one (Rubio) is playing as though he doesn't want to be here and one (Bridges) is strictly a defensive specialist.

James Jones is trash as a GM.

Baynes and Rubio don't want to be here... presented as fact... when there is literally, nothing, that supports it.

Maybe it is because we skimped on Baynes mircofracture surgery you thought we needed for his hip.

Final:

Kings 114 - Suns 103

Suns lose after having a 21 point lead. This one hurts.

Way to misrepresent my post, at least with respect to Rubio. And what supports it is their lackluster play.

I would take Ayton off that list. Not aggresive enough, fails to assert himself

Ayton, Oubre, Booker and Rubio. Everyone else is just a rotting corpse with a Suns uniform on.
Remember this is on Ayton. Not...

- Bridges before SGA (when we didn't even have a point guard on the roster)
- Cam Johnson over Herro (always take the comparable shooter who is 23 not 19)
- Josh Jackson, Bender, and Chriss (all 3 will be out of the league this time next year)
- trading TJ Warren for nothing (2nd leading scorer on a playoff team)

You have to wonder if at some point Monty says to himself "I can't get through to these guys, especially with the GM undercutting my message, and I don't need this crap"...

Sorry for... you know... quoting you.

You do this trash all the time. Every time Booker has a bad half you decide he wants to be traded.

Just saying...

- Cam Johnson over Clarke, Washington and Herro (always take the comparable shooter who is 19 not 23, and we needed a power forward more anyway)
-Trading away a future first round pick for a player in Jerome who has no hope of ever being able to defend at the NBA level and a back-up in Baynes who didn't want to come here
- Josh Jackson, Bender, and Chriss (all 3 will be out of the league this time next year)
- trading TJ Warren for nothing (2nd leading scorer on a playoff team)

FIFY.

so many missteps

Fox, Bogdon, Sabonis, Luka,

idk I’m just at the end with this team. This was a low point
I don't know if I'm numb, stupid, or just unconditionally love the Suns; but I'll be back tomorrow rooting them on like a proud papa. I think I honestly never expected more than 30 wins this season. After a decade of losing, the reality may be we can never wash the stink of losing off.

I vote for stupid, we don't play until Friday.

Booker himself said after last game that it hasn't been fun here. After now a 5th year of this same crap, it would and SHOULD wear on anyone, Booker included.

Perhaps...not without blowing the whole thing up and starting from scratch...from ownership down to players.

Unfortunately this is one that will make me take a break from the Suns for a few games. They’re simply not worth my time at the moment. I love this franchise but I’m tired of the disappointment.

They played with no pride. Even when things were good. No energy. No effort. No heart. They were coasting through the entire game. Letting Baynes bomb 3’s from the corners. Turning the ball over. All this against a short handed Kings team that didn’t even play Buddy Hield much in the fourth....AT HOME.

This one’s a low point for sure. So incredibly disappointing.

Anyone who doesn't think the public trade request is not a year out max is deluding themselves.

Lmao let’s get rid of the player who was the most efficient in the game. Seriously, the Ayton derangement needs to stop. The team underutilized him again underneath and it cost them.

It's funny listening to constant griping about Ayton considering what the roster looks like 5-12. Mikal freaking Bridges is getting crunchtime minutes for us.
I can understand the Ayton griping when he puts up another whopping SINGLE free throw and DOESN’T GET A SINGLE REBOUND THE ENTIRE FOURTH QUARTER.

No, when they're on the floor together, far more often than not, Rubio brings the ball up. Furthermore, who brings the ball up is such a pointless thing to worry about that... I just can't.
I didn't say 'brings the ball up'.

I said that (once we cross the mid-point line) Devin Booker, not Ricky Rubio, controls the ball.

C'mon, Phraz. is this about winning a debate . . . or pinpointing (from a fan's perspective) all
of the reasons why the Suns are sinking in the West?

We wouldn't be discussing it if the Suns weren't, once again, an embarrassment.

Our team does not have the roster for the needed balance. Nor do we have the players to
win 4th quarters. You can't win if you don't have CLUTCH players on offense and defense.

You say this garbage... every time he has a quarter where he doesn't play well, that he is quitting and wants out... if you want to argue that if we continue to suck that he WILL want out... people wouldn't disagree.

But no... you are 100% reactionary, you decided dudes are quitting on the team anytime they hit a slump, even if it for a stinking quarter.

Find a new shtick.
