I think Edwards has a chance to be as great as Jordan if he plays at this level for 10 years.

Except for the ones the Suns have in 2024, 2026 and 2028 ofcourse.


The Wizards have swap rights for all of them, including 2030. Although Wizards suck so bad that they don't gotta worry about swaps for now lol

I'm just mad that Brad Beal is getting a quarter of a billion dollars to be incredibly mid, and I work my skin off the bone for 60k. Damnit I'm only 2 inches shorter, I guess I should have worked on my layups more in HS practices, but coach said I was too skinny.

Picked the Wolves to win but didn't expect a sweep. Let's see how far Ant can take this team. Looking good so far.

Even if the swaps convert (they may or may not) that doesn't mean that the Suns don't have a first round pick.

There's kind of a big difference between "you don't have a first round pick for the next 6 years" and "you've got 3 first round picks in the next 6 years, including one in two months - and the other first picks could potentially be lower".

And lebrons lasting legacy will be he ring whore'd and still couldn't come close to Jordan lol.

LeBron is at worst the second best player of all time (really is the GOAT tho) so nobody has to worry about his legacy. KD doesn’t belong in the same breath as Bron and that’s not a hot take.

Sounds like LeBronto did a number on u lol

This game really shows Ant could be one of the greatest. He is very close to DWade level if not already there.


Coach Spo compared him to DWade during the Olympics. The scary thing is, Antman is very durable and Wade had injury issues that hampered him throughout his career.

Regular season: Suns sweep the Timberwolves with a 16 point margin of victory per game, including a 19-point win in Minnesota just two weeks ago.

Postseason: Timberwolves sweep Suns, with an average margin of victory of 15 points per game.

While Towns was getting interviewed by Wolves-Bally, Gobert comes up to him, gives him a brief hug, and you hear him say, “We got more to do” as he walks off.

Wolves had the number 13 on their white board before the game. That’s the number of wins they need to win a ring.

I love this team’s focus, when past Wolves teams have been so .. I’ll just say, “unfocused.”

As tough as this Minnesota team is, they’d be considered (slight?) underdogs against the Denver Nuggets in the next round? When does that series start after Denver disposes of the Lakers Monday?

Denver’s worry is Jamal Murray. They need this guy to be playoff Murray against Minnesota or they ain’t winning. He’s hurt I guess and he hasn’t looked good
