Moses Brown of the Mavericks was signed a week ago to a ten-day contract.

He had 20 points and 11 rebounds tonight for the Mavericks as a starter.

If there is apathy, I'm looking at the Suns front office and ownership first, then look at the coaching next.

There are plenty of things to knock this brain trust for, but I don't know that I can bash on them for not going after a guy who is on his 9th team in 5 seasons and has career averages of 3 and 2.

Well they need to get some more help inside. Are anyone working on that? Other than that, focus more on the defence. Run back, Durant. If we're not all back they will find the open shooter. If players are not putting in effort then get Dunn, Gillespie and Washington Jr some more minutes.

Sarver is loving this
$arver was trash, but fan boy Jerry Jones Jr destroyed this team with his crush on Durant. Durant must be cancer in the locker room because this team has been pretty much no fun to watch since his arrival. Might as well trade Booker because Durant has sucked the desire and fight out of him. Booker looks like just another check casher at this point. Beal is the ultimate trash, no wonder DC never won anything in his time there

If this is not rock bottom I don't know what is. Oh and Mr. Glass strikes again. I will say it again. Bradly Beal is one of the worst trades in Suns history.

End of the third KD had a clear chance for a half-courtish heave off a stop, passes it off instead so his shooting numbers were preserved.
I watched a whole video on how veterans heave the ball a half second too late in regular season games so fans don't get upset, but they don't mess up their stats. It's a thing.

I haven't seen the video you're talking about but I've watched this game for many decades and I've seen plenty of evidence this is mostly accurate. But, for some, whether they do or not take that risk often depends on time and score. For some though, they just won't risk hurting their stats with a last second prayer no matter how badly we might need it.

The Beal trade is no where near as damaging as the Durant one.

And it’s going to get much much worse before it gets better.

I disagree because we are going to get assets back when we trade Durant. Beal's contract is not only dead (NTC) but his performance on the court doesn't match his salary because Mr. Glass is injured all the time.
