Suns @ Spurs Thursday game thread 2-20-2025 (After All-Star Break)

This will be unpopular, but trade KD and Book and ideally get 4 quality young tall players and a center plus picks in return that can play defense at a high level.

And what trade partner is going to agree to that? You're saying you want to trade two diplodocus for five velociraptors plus free food.

I'd like to say I was surprised by the loss, but I wasn't.

Bud's lineups are perplexing. We didn't know how good we had it with Monty and Frank Vogel.

I'd take Monty back in a heartbeat. That's the last time we played good basketball.

I’m not jumping off the bandwagon, but the check engine light has been on for a while, there’s still a lot of payments to be made, and the recalls all expired so it will cost me more to keep it going than it’s really worth.

Sometimes it's really tough being a diehard Suns fan. This is one of those times. Pretty depressing thinking how long it might take to dig out of this mess.

 

[Superbone]

Time to donate it to charity?

Charities would refuse it. It needs to go straight to the dump.

Welp, spring and summer came early this year. Time to pivot to baseball and grilling.

I grill year round.

I grill year round.

It's tough when it gets under 20 degrees outside.

I think Gambo echoes the feelings of a lot of fans.

Completely agreed.

The stars on this team are content. Durant doesn’t want to move mid season, Beal is content coming off the bench and Booker is a shell of his former self.

The only players I care to watch and hope to keep is Oso, Dunn and Royce.

Bud went with a 9 man rotation and would not adjust, even though they could have used Dunn’s defense as Grayson was getting smoked.

I sooooo wished we still had CP3. He may not have the talent he once did, but he sure does have a ton of dog still in him which this team lacks in spades.

yep cp3 was getting on guys about screens and their position on the court.

Ouch! Here it's tough when it hits in the 115s. Gotta wear gloves to just touch the grill handle.

 

[Covert Rain]

Have the wheels completely fallen off now?

Have the wheels completely fallen off now?

It sure looks like it. Even teams tanking will likely have trouble losing to the Suns.

Where is Matt Ishbia and James Jones now?

My guess is you won't hear from them on any major level (sans a firing) until the post season presser.

My guess is Monty is glad to be out of here. Not many teams strive for culture these days.

I think it was mutual. You can't have your coach allegedly acting the way he did towards a couple of the players here either. Not sure that is a healthy culture either. As much as people crow about comradery with the old team, it appears Monty played a hand in tearing that apart.

 

[Superbone]

No more retreads. They aren't working. We need a coach like Houston's and OKC's. Some young buck that's not afraid to hold players accountable. Plus, we need a roster remake. Other than that, everything is just great.
