Bradley Beal should be the reason fully guaranteed contracts end in the NBA.

While it didn't happen and I'm more than content in what we did get in Nurkic, Allen, and Little... man, one can armchair GM and ponder.


Sabonis is absolutely abused on defense in certain matchups that would hurt in the playoffs. Nurkic may too. I regret other more obvious moves way more. Jones should've been fired years ago


I think passing on Haliburton was the worse move.

Sabonis just folds in the playoffs but I much prefer him over what we got in Nurkic.


Oh, for sure. The drafting of Smith over Haliburton was franchise altering stupid. Jones should have been fired right after the draft. And then to have the utter gall to try and defend his asinine position on it while also making the assertion that he's also a talent scout or something? Completely incomprehensible.

This team remains a joke. Start out shooting 72% and somehow manage to still be losing because we don't give a **** on defense and can't be bothered to stop turning it over the second we cross mid court. Fold the franchise until Vogel is gone.

We were favored by 5. We'll lose by 20.

Ridiculous call. Clean block and no foul. Contact was incidental at best.

This team doesn't learn.

Book going for the steal on a breakaway and ends up losing the gamble and being totally out of the play which led to 2 free throws.

Need to stop gambling and go for the safe play on defense...

Sorry, but KD is so **** lazy. Bailing out on that rebound is beyond inexcusable

Sabonis goes 1 on 5 and gets within 6 inches of the rim with no resistance whatsoever. This is maybe the worst defensive performance of the year so far, and that is saying something. This Kings team was playing some terrible basketball coming in too.

We coast on talent.

Sabonis with a foul on the rebound then an obvious travel.

Small ball lineup is working on offense. Grayson has to move on defense though. We're lucky Barnes missed the open corner 3

At least it's a single digit deficit. It could be a LOT worse given how they're carving us up at will.

Good close to quarter. May have something with the small ball lineup. O'Neal needs to get some confidence in his shot. Can't have him become Okogie or KBD

Return to Phoenix Suns
