[Superbone]

I save all my voicemails just in case I can use them against that person in the future. (I kid.)

This is less than nothing...

Hell, after reading that I hope he starts giving the team pep talks before games.

Two billionaire mortgage giants have brought their beef to the NBA

When Mat Ishbia purchased the Suns in February 2023, it brought the mortgage world's fiercest rivalry -- a yearslong feud between billionaire lending giants that has been filled with public vitriol -- to the NBA.

Actually, I worked in the Biltmore a floor above a trading group, and I heard worse. LOL. Lots of big pants and bravado. I guess you work in high stress you have to have bravado.

At least one person in Cleveland isn't happy. But it is interesting that the league is going all-in with Ishbia.

Hopefully there are some unique options for the Suns or we foreclose.

The Suns with All-Star CP3 were one player away. The Suns with no CP3 and built around Booker/Bridges/Ayton wasn’t close to one player away.

That said, the KD trade has still been a disaster.

We needed to replace CP3, Ayton was a problem, and probably needed a pf, although Cam Johnson was not bad in that role. So we needed two starters and a deeper bench. Plus, the coaching was going off the rails.

But we still gave up way too much for KD.

Not all friends remain friends forever. And not all friends are 100% behind your back. And some friends are loyal but stupid. You put it out there - anywhere - be prepared to own it.

This 100%. And you never know might mess with your friends phone.

Yesterday's game against Serbia was epic! One of the best USA Mens Basketball games ever!

This is amazing, Mat Ishbia would do this to improve the fan experience.

I have to believe he will keep improving the Suns franchise.
