Good thing we're not playing a team like OKC with 4 of our starters being out. Missing Warren is bad enough, add in Jackson, Chandler, and Booker then it truly is a squad of G-League guys playing. Payton is the only NBA talent left.

Payton is having a bad hair day...rest him.

I wonder how many of these are legitimate or just tanking injuries.

They can no longer just rest players for tanking purposes or they will get warned like the Bulls did so I wonder if injuries are just fabricated or at best exaggerated to hold players out of games to increase the chances of losing.

You are worried about the suns getting "warned"? Cripe dude...I'm warning you...chill and let the suns worry about their own players. You aren't a doctor...you aren't even a trainer.

Thought about going to the game but not now.

Who told you I'm "worried" about them getting warned? I don't care or give one flying you-know-what if they get warned or not, I was just speculating on if these injuries are legitimate or not. I don't even care if they are fake injuries or whatever. And as to the latter, not yet.

For all those who think the Suns are purposely tanking, they're not. If they were, Booker wouldn't be playing 37 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Did I miss something regarding McDonough?


Here is Bordow in response to a question... if McDonough is on the hot seat.

scott bordow‏Verified account@sbordow 1m1 minute ago


Jonathan, he just got a 3-year contract extension so he's not going anywhere unless Sarver has a complete change of heart

Also here is a response from Bordow who the Suns might target in a trade.

Sam, they're looking for guy who can shoot and bring a "swagger" to the team. As to who that might be, too early to tell.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ryan McDonough is indeed signed through the 2019-20 season.

For some reason I thought his contract was set to expire.

You have left me speechless Ronin. It would be a shocker but never say never.

Why were they attending a Presidential parade?

No, the latest is no tanks just men dressed in stylish costumes.
