Josh for trying to block Gobert and getting all head

I'm not much of an Okogie fan but at least he plays with heart and with a chip on his shoulder.

I've been saying, people keep telling us the Suns is the only team managed to take 2 games from Denver, but it took 80% shooting performance to barely beat them on our floor, other than Game 2 none of the game were close.

Where are Vogel's balls? Why does he allow loser trio stat padding?

Again that Wiz mindset

That's where you pad your stats to pad your contract.
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Someone will want him. Might not get as good of a haul but with a good GM, should be at least good pieces back. Better question is how do they get off of Beal?

Maybe now we can just get rid of everyone and Booker got his wanting a super team bullsh*t out of his system. Too bad Beal has that no trade clause. Build the team the right way.

Too bad that GM will probably be Isiah Thomas.

KD's value is half what we paid for. Maybe even less. We're not getting anything close to what we gave up.

I don't even have any ties to Phoenix, why do I keep putting myself through this? I miss Nash/Stat/Matrix years. Ugh.

No time. Book is entering his prime, by the time the team is ready he will be over 30.

Better to get something than nothing at this point.

Is Booker a super max caliber player? If so, the Suns have a bright future.

I don’t want Booker on this team I’ve seen enough of him. He can’t lead or take over games when needed. He isn’t a mentor or a leader just a great all star player. I don’t consider him a superstar by any means.

Return to Phoenix Suns
