Suns really mortgaged their future, always felt they put themselves in a low key awful spot with the KD and then Beal trades.

CAA takes an L for negotiating that deal.

Sneak anticipation move by Leon to get him to the Knicks. Long term planning gotta start somewhere!

That, and the 2am Veal Parm Door dash deliveries Leon sends. When presented, who says “No”?
Riley sends cakes during breakfast.

Its very surprising Zion cannot dial in his adult body needs and be all he can be.
The game came easy to him when he was a man child.

I’ve heard of coach killers but is KD the team killer? Wannabe Lebron? Great talent goes without saying but his GM-ing and leadership led to the pathetic demise of the Three Stooges Nets and now the Suns seem headed in the wrong direction (while the Nets recover some respectability and perhaps even a future).

Breaks my black heart 🥸

Do any of us know the temptation of DoorDash?

I thought only NBA super stars and that dude with the shitty apartment could afford it.

2AM on-demand parm anything would ruin my life in a couple of months.

Okay, 2 weeks.

Maybe the plan was to burn off the calories with hookers.

It's straight embarrassing how Suns lost to Kyrie-less Mavs?

Doncic is a killa

I didn't even see the game, someone tell me how bad this really was

Reality is few super teams get it done year one. Heatles needed time to Gel.
Health and luck needed.
Clippers were laughed at but they are figuring shit out.
Im not going to revel in any PHX issues until they are down and out.
Their depth is awful. That might be their undoing.
I fear the starphuch for years. I know we are looking for stars to be elite, at least the fan is.
Bit I like our team and direction.

OF "models." And the occasional porn star. They aren't hookers. These are, you know, classy ladies who provide intimacy for compensation. There's a difference.

The offense is allowed to purposely ram you in the chest and still get the foul call.

I wonder if those terms apply to a team that Zion is traded to? Im guessing this is Zion's last season to make a case for himself in NO. I dont believe he wants to.

Zion hears the siren song of MSG. Not many elite players do. Which is why I'd like to see the FO roll the dice, if a deal can be made that Leon is OK with. Get JB the help he needs.

Not sure why they would start him from the beginning of the season. He needs more seasoning before you can even think about that.

Obi should spend this offseason doing nothing but working on his lateral movement. Its the one thing thats keeping him from taking his game to the next level. It affects both sides of the court, mostly D. One thing about his game that hasnt changed enough.

Desperation. I mean, they're replacing him with Nesmith. Wouldn't be surprised if they trade for OG, Siakam or Lauri.

I think at this late in the game - Obi is near 26 now - you either have it and can refine it, or you don't. Obi, like RJ, just do not have it.

I was under the impression Thibs was holding Obi back...oh well....

RJ is held to a different standard but there's a reason he has been a staple in the starting lineup and a 30+mpg player on good teams. He's solid at a lot of things. He's not one dimensional.

He's nothing like Obi who is just a runner/finisher.

Thibs gave Obi the same role no matter how well he played. Mostly stuck in the corner.

I guess its just an amazing coincidence that 2 other players have complained about the same thing this season.

Not being good enough to start full time, wasnt a good reason to give Obi so little PT, and such a small role in the offense.

Clean @ 12/27/2023 7:37 AM
Yall can give up on Obi if you want, but I will not. He had one of the lowest playing time totals from the first round in his draft. He might be older but he is young in NBA minutes. Just like Sims(Sims is a more extreme case) he had no reason starting from getting low playing time.
