Mavericks @ Suns Friday game thread 12-27-2024

Then find a new team.




The calls to blow it up so we can be worse for little in return and no control over own picks is even more tired. Like a petulant child, you got KD, the star that was supposed to lead us to the promise land and we're stranded in no man's land. Because we are now a constant reminder of how awful the KD trade was doesn't mean throwing him aside makes it better. It actually makes it worse since we don't control our own picks! There is zero reason to tank other than so you aren't constantly reminded of your last idea to build contender turned out. If you were a GM, you had have been fired. You're not, which is fine, you can choose to follow the Suns how you'd like but trying to mock others for their view is ridiculously uncalled for.

Please don't tell people to jump ship. That's against the rules.
Cool it with calling people child. That's also against the rules. Personal attack.
That's two strikes in one post. Cool it.

Continuing with the most expensive team in the league that’s play-in fodder is more ridiculous than blowing it up without our picks. The Suns need to get what they can for KD and Book, preferably young players and picks then creating cap space for a potential big summer down the road. When the Nets traded the house for a washed up KG and Pierce their future was toast because they didn’t have picks. It was considered the worst GM job in the league and a few years later they were back in the playoffs because they embraced patience and overachieved with young players that weren’t superstars.

I'm ready to just start the energy guys and play them most of the minutes. Punish Beal by making him come off the bench. He can pout for all I care as he's getting paid way too much for what he's putting on the court. Like Steve said, I'd rather watch guys that are at least giving full effort even if they lose most nights. Play the rookies 35 minutes a night.

Seriously, I would be all for putting Dunn in as a starter and having Beal come in with the second unit. We play seemingly better with the defense and hustle Dunn brings to the first unit.

The Suns have an open roster spot. If she is old enough, she might fit right in.

OH, she is plenty old.

Are you paying the tax? I don't care how many millions it costs Ishbia. So I'd rather pray we get healthy and mesh if for no other reason than handing over a top 3 pick would be much worse than being a play in team.
