Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

I will give Flex this, at least he sticks his neck out. This is refreshing.

Looks like PHNX is again cutting back staff on their podcast. Lindsey Smith is the latest casualty there.

Lindsey is still there.

Lindsey is still there.

Not according to Espo.

Holy crap, this happened today. I was listening to the podcast 2 days ago and she was running it.

What a terrible thing to do 4 days before Christmas. Screw PHNX. I will miss hearing from Gerald, but I'm out. Hopefully Lindsey will sign on with another pod. Nobody listens to PHNX Suns Podcast for Espo.

Steven is super smart, but I don't like his voice. And Eric is totally unbearable.

The most recent podcast on YouTube without Lindsey was particularly painful.

I didn't watch it all, I seldom do, but I respect the product they are trying to put forth.

A 4 person podcast is too many ppl. The only PHNX pods I really listened to were the D’Backs show but with Jesse getting laid off I ain’t listening anymore.

I seldom listen to podcasts unless there is something fascinating going on or a special guest.

The forum is what I use to debrief.

I liked The Timeline up until the finals run. They switched from a more fan driven experience to trying to monetize it. It's not bad but it's not as good as it was.

I noticed that PHNX was pushing paywalled content this year also. I get that everyone needs to make a living but there's so much content available online that it's almost criminal to charge the same or more than Netflix for 2 podcasts a week and maybe 2-3 blog type articles.

He didn't get a chance. He got traded before the season began but haunts us every time we play the Blazers. He was an excellent draft pick which was my point as you are ready to forgo the draft.

So you're saying players we draft and trade away become good.. ones we keep are trash.. tell me how this 2031 pick is so valuable to us?

Our track record hasn’t been the greatest and I don’t see any improvements. I just see the team as a train wreck. We can get rid of everyone for as many draft picks and hope with enough darts we can get something that sticks or just say screw it if we're going to wreck then lets speed this train up and keep trading picks away to make something happen.

Lindsey was the face. Steven is the guy I love to listen to. Erik with a K is annoying, mostly just the voice. Gerald is meh, just a yes man kind of guy.

 

[Germz249]

When we’re 8-43 going into the 2031 all star break you’re going to want that pick.

Why? We will draft someone thats trash anyways.

 

[Germz249]

I don't see James Jones becoming one of the longest tenured GM's in the league over the last 2 decades. He would get there if he was GM in 2031 to make that pick. Only a title gets him there, which isn't likely.

He got the job in 2018, for the record. I have a feeling anything short of a finals appearance this year will end his time here.

I don’t see him being the GM either but our luck the next GM would make even more bone headed mistakes.

 

[Germz249]

If the Suns can keep their 2031 first round pick, it's something to consider. The trade would have to be somehow sweetened by the Suns.

At this point.. if the pick gets the deal done then lets do it..

We already sold the farm to get Durant. Might as well keep going..

Its like buying a Nissan GTR T Spec and debating if you should pay the extra couple hundred bucks for all weather floor mats. You already spent a lot so screw it lol

Every podcast these days is impossible to get through without using the :30 skip button. PHNX lays it on thicker than most. I doubt they’ll be around for the long haul from lost listeners.
