To think this team started 9-1 and are now 15-17. That makes them 6-16 since November 10th. By far the highest payroll in the league. Of course Beal goes down to injury in Booker's return game. Like clockwork. What a trainwreck.

Smoked by 12 in the 3rd. Again. Blow this team up.

Getting worked by the 3rd worst team in the league.

Can't wait 'til they trade Beal for 35yo Jimmy Butler, give him a 2 year max extension to up their league high salary even more, and still be a very middling team in the West for the next several years. I'm not mad at all at Ishibia's willingness to spend crazy money, but dude is throwing money at guys past their prime which will never end in a championship.

Suns trade for Nick Richards from the Hornets for Okogie, and some 2nd draft fodder involved. Not the Hornets center I was hoping for, but he's better than Mason Plumlee, who has been as ineffective as Nurkic. Maybe we'll see better center play with a rotation of Richards and Oso. Nurkic is out if we can find any team willing to take a chance on his sorry ass.

Yup he gets an A for effort but an F for execution at this point. Thinking it may be time for James Jones to take a hike.

I don't think it's on Jones. When the owner wants something, they are going to make the GM do it. Jones did well in the draft this year with the Oso and Dunn picks.
Sucks to lose Okogie because he's the kind of grit and hustle player this team needs more of, but a competent center to rotate in with Oso was a must.

Beal hurt again? I'm shocked!

Suns looking to swap Nurkic for Bogdan Bogdanovic? Why not. This team doesn't have enough two guards as is.

I'm pretty much done with Coach Bud. Dude went through most the 4th quarter and OT without a center in the game, then when he realizes maybe we need that kind of post presence in there, he puts in f**king Plumlee? No wonder the Bucks let his dumb ass go shortly after winning the 'ship.

This team is clearly going nowhere this year. With the lack of draft picks and the bad contracts they already got it makes you wonder what a rebuild would even look like.

No Wemby no problem. Were now at the point where having Booker, Beal, and KD in the lineup together still isn't enough.

The team is an absolute mess. s**tty passing. No defense. Highest payroll in league history and likely to miss the playoffs. I don't think anyone on this team has the balls to call for a player-only meeting, either. Sad!
