You'd need six years of music school and ten years with the Mobile, Alabama philharmonic before you get that bang just right.

Ran into a buzzsaw and got forced into too many live ball turnovers. Still, their rim pressure was fantastic all night. Got anything they wanted in the paint if they didn't lose the ball first. Positioning on offensive rebounds was great, too. Shaedon was unstoppable. Frenetic pace = some L's.

Why is he always so willing to provide comic relief at his own expense? He won't last much longer but at least we'll have the videos.

Suns never got their big to move Adams to forward. He was better than any center they acquired. And yet he was the most loyal player of all time. At his camp I asked him what people don't know about playing against Kareem. "His strength," he said. Bayard Forrest was not NBA level.

Love the guy. What a hooper. Fun. Injury prone. And made zero sense both 1) next to Book and KD, and 2) under the current CBA. A terrible contract under previous CBA, too. Josh Bartelstein, who too credit for the trade, should be fired for this move alone.

Why is it so devastating to lose $20 million a year in cap space? Isn't that just like one overpaid mid-level player? The magic of a surprising roster is a crapshoot anyway. And won't the apron levels raise over time?

Yes. In fact, he explicitly
took credit for the Beal and Nurkic trades. And then James Jones got pushed out.

Thank you for writing this. Media has been too quiet on this issue. The call to oust JB needs to amplify until it happens. The incompetence, nepotism, and conflicts of interest can't be allowed to drag down a historic franchise. JB is a continued roadblock to course correction.

DA has his priorities in the right place. He protects the rim and has a consistent mid-range shot. He never developed as an offensive force in the block, rebounder, or 3-point threat. But look how much $ he's made along the way while not wasting life in the gym. LA will hate him but that's on them.

I love DA. Great dude. I'm a U of A fan who watched every game of his since college. As a player tho he has no motor. Like him, I want my employer to take care of me and give little back in return. It's hard to root for from the outside if you want watch a winner, so I hope the new fans can be chill

Nobody wants Green. He's a negative asset. The Suns would need to send out a first and a couple of seconds and then have nothing again.
