If true not trading Jae for rui was a big mistake imo.The Suns didn't trade Jae Crowder earlier because James Jones was saving this chip if he needed it for the Durant trade, or at least this is how I viewed it.
His defensive spacing and timing combined with his size was crucial for a lot of rushed shots in the paint which normally would go in against us. Oso has a lot to learn by watching Richards. Actually, we'd be fine with the current quartett at C as Nurk can add size against bigger centers like Jokic.This is the first really fun Suns game I've seen in months. This is a different team with Richards. Three wasn't falling, but Richards got them some rebounds for easy second-chance points, and he also gave them an actual roller and a cutter. He is obviously not up to speed but he played really well.
They did a good job reducing turnovers in the second half as well, got to the line, and they just refused to fold at any point. Dunn played well, and Booker and KD did a great job.
