If by "we" you mean "me?", than that definitely wasnt me. I would never advocate for that contract.

Edwards is top 10 in making.
Beal is so damn painfully mediocre at everything

He is a three-time allstar...
The Suns are a cautionary tale of going all in for bad fitting pieces that are "super stars".

The Suns are much more of a cautionary tale than the Cavs are.
The Cavs took a swing on a 25-year-old without touching their young core and can turn around and flip him as a 27-year-old for significant assets if he won't sign an extension.
The Suns traded all their assets for a 35-year-old that they couldn't trade for more value than they gave up even if they wanted to (they don't want to) and a 30-year-old that can't stay healthy and no one would possibly want.

I've always been high on Ant and remember people questioning him along the way due to his lower efficiency numbers. Paolo actually compares well to him (stats-wise not play-type obviously) so I hope that we see similar growth over the next few years.

If you'd had said at the start of the season the Suns would be eliminated from the playoffs before the Magic you'd be laughed off the planet, yet here we are!

The scoring and killer instinct offensively is one thing. But the dude gets after it defensively too.
He's a legit superstar with the chance to be a a megastar. First team all-NBA sooner than later.

Alright, in the offseason PHO comea hat in hand wanting to trade us KD. They probably ask for Franz plus 3 FRP.
1. Do we negotiate?
2. Do we cry from laughing?
3. Do we plan the championship parade?
Just kidding.

Yep but Ant has 2 more years of NBA experience. That does matter.

Yeah a little over a year. 15 months.
Ant played his entire rookie season at age 19 and didn’t actually turn 20 until the summer between his 1st and 2nd year.
Paolo turned 20 about a month into his rookie season.

I loved him coming out of college when a lot of people were wavering. He's just so strong and plays with great balance.

Teams could easily fix this and prevent the resell to away team, but they don't
Philly is driveable for a lot of nyk fans
Still, home teams can easily fix the issue of ticket resell

how exactly would do you think this would work?
There are no real ways to outright stop it, but there are ways the team could attempt to limit it.
Teams could restricting mobile ticket transfer until 24 hours before game, or even sooner. 8 hours? 3 hours?
Teams could rescind a person's season tickets or not allow them to purchase tickets in the future if they're caught selling their season tickets on the secondary market.
At the end of the day if somebody wants to pay 4 or 5x face value to attend a game, there's not really anything that's going to stop them.
There are many easy way, ticketing using Blockchain technology is one of them, where you can prevent season tickets holders to resell tickets to away team.
Tech is available, just need to use it
