Suns have now won 3 straight games. They are no longer the hunter, but the hunted. Every team will start to bring their “A” game against us and it’s up to our team to rise above it.

We've been the hunted since the beginning of the season. Even when we weren't' playing well, teams clearly are playing like they want a hunting trophy from beating the Big 3.

Wembanyama is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns due to a left ankle sprain, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Bol Bol isn’t afraid of Wemby never was and never will. What he did to him was straight up illegal be should put his name on notice. After the other night Bol Bol should be a household name.

The unfortunate part of this outcome is in that with Bol exceeding expectations and continually doing so very well, with each great game he plays himself further and further out of our range, UNLESS Durant himself along with Book and Beal can convince him accept much less than what he'll likely get in free agency from some desperate young team with significant cap space that's starving for young promising talent! Maybe KD and our big three could sell him on taking over as a potential 3rd option post Durant in two years with starter minutes and a more significant pronounced role?? Being featured as part of a big three with starter minutes and a featured role has to be at least a little bit enticing to him I'd wager.
Any thoughts on what he might pull in free agency this summer given his surprising play and recent viral sensation type output against Wemby?? I have him commanding upwards of $7-10 max range possibly, but ending up in the 6-8 range from a team with cap that doesn't land a splashy name.
It might be a reasonable idea to have a contingency plan to identify/acquire the next potential Bol type prospect to fill that gap IF we truly anticipate losing him as well need to fill that hole in the roster regardless, and need another young exciting energizing talent as a replacement in that specific role for our team too. when/If the time comes, I'll offer up a few names as potential replacement options.

Who knows how much he'll make but it's almost certainly more than the minimum. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get a 2 year TPMLE type of deal with an option tacked a 3rd year. I still think he's a bit of a unknown quantity, partly because of how we've used him (he's not seeing 20-25mpg a night for the world to see) so I find it hard to see him get the full MLE rate.

Wemby doesn't want none of Bol again.

Hopefully the starters get some extended rest and IT gets some run

Suns need to have a strong 2nd quarter can’t afford to get down further. Come out strong and take a lead before halftime.

This team simply can't string 4 good quarters together.
