could be book's last home game as a sun - imma have to watch see if he does something special
It won’t be. I think Ishbia is too headstrong to admit complete and utter failure and will try to ReBook this team with some Sarver-esque moves circa 2010 by trading KD for some pupu platter of Hakeem Warrick/Josh Childress/Hedo Turkoglu type crap so we can win 25-30 games the next couple years while wasting what’s left of Booker’s prime and patience until he forces our hand and demands out, ultimately limiting what we can get back.

you're suggesting book will want to stay - im not saying differently - idk - kinda depends on who he blames for things - jj? ish? bud? beal? himself? all of the above?

is book phx for life or could he actually wanna "test the waters" for the first time? does he feel like we do - that this team is likely screwed for the next 5 years? cuz book's in his prime and ish... isn't

book might've lost faith in this organization

We are going to be one of those teams that skirts into the play in or bottom of the playoffs for the rest of Book's career here unless we pull off a hell of a trade somewhere along the way. If so, we are going to completely waste the rest of Book's career. As you stated if he forces his way out? We will get much less for him in a trade.

I think you overestimate even there. We’re going to be somewhere between 20-30 wins every season with Booker and the Hedo Turkoglu’s of this era.

Looks like Kevin Durant will be out for the rest of the season.

Fitting we lose this game on a last second tip in. That’s my prediction.
At the two minute mark in the first quarter? We will be way down in the fourth quarter, I am thinking.

If the Suns lose against the Spurs and Kings, that would be 10 straight losses to close the season.

Sandro Mamukelashvili looking good against the Suns with 5 points already.

interesting bud didn't make sure to have beal on the court when book is on the bench - it shows exactly what bud thinks of beal
