After the tough loss to the Spurs the top brass in the organization called an all hands meeting at a undisclosed Waffle House location. People and the media have been calling for Beal. The organization is just being careful and don’t want to risk the jeopardizing season.

What I heard was this.. Imagine buying a new iPhone and playing with it.. then instead of just using the phone right away you want to wait for amazon to deliver your screen protector and phone case so you risk damaging it.. could you just carry it naked.. sure but its not worth the risk.

That is how the situation is being treated..

I have been told a few players deep on the bench will be moved some time from now to the trade deadline.. most likely for picks as the Suns feel they will not have to go that deep into the bench and the draft picks will be worth more..

Lastly just something that has been asked.. the usual meal at Waffle House is the hash browns with everything on it..

Waffle House. LMAO.... Did they rent it out like Russle Wilson did? LOL!!

Almost as good as Muggz rant about Luka's teeth.

After the Waffle House meet I have been asked (pretty much told) to come to the games or watch the games.. I will no longer be sitting court side or in the owners box.. I will return back to my cave.

I will still continue to spread Germz and bring insider news to everyone.

You've been told to come to games and you decide that means cave dwelling? You better have a TV in that cave.

Back injury must be serious with no timetable for return. If its more precaution than seriousness then Beal is getting paid $50M to watch games from best spot in arena when we desperately need a consistent third scoring threat like we all need air to breath (in addition to some team defensive effort).

It's vexing either way.

We need you to take one for the fans and fly coach, so to speak. Please all hands on deck.

I realize it's mad early - we haven't been full strength - it'll get a lot better with Book and Beal

We have all the skill sets we need imo aside from another Power Big - but when I look at this roster the one thing I don't see is that super positive vibe guy - the guy who gets everyone going pregame - going ham with the music - that guy in the huddle who gets everyone hype - that cam payne - that Javale McGee - that Mikal Bridges

Is the good vibe guy a key element? Is there one here that I've missed or will one eventually surface?

I.just think teams play better when they're having fun

We're a really bad defensive team and I don't see a path to being a good one. It's going to be a problem all year.

We have to hope that we can get healthy and just outscore teams.

Our 4th quarter D seems especially bad

Difficult to have a positive vibe and have fun the way they are playing and with injury problems right out of the gate. I'm sure players are deflated just like the fans.

Letting go of Payne really hurt us. I’m not saying we need a pg, but Payne was a legit player on both ends. He’s a backup who is capable of starting as well.

We’d likely see something like

Payne
Book/allen
KD
KBD
Big Nurk

Gordon, yuta and Eubanks would still come off the bench.

Hindsight but still, just sayin.
