I still think clippers could use Beal and should trade for him! The their owner can afford it and they could use a scoring 2 guard next to harden
I had a dream Oso developed his 3 and became a Naz/Franz like player to help us turn this around lmao
Our role players sucks dont ever cmpare our role players to celtics & thunder!! Its wayyyy toooo farrrrr!!!
Ishbia talking from both ends of his mouth. First says he knows nothing about basketball, but he is going to pick the new coach? This is troubling 😮
This front office results and answers are troublesome. Unless they bring a guy like VanGundy to make bball decisions and hire the new head coach we are in for another bad year 😮😮😮
James Jones is not setting a tone that I’m down with, this is going to suck if he remains in charge 😮😮😮😮
You did a poor Job Fire these 2
Cha Cha Changes. David Bowie sang it better. And actually explained it. Matty Ish just uttered empty yapping. Zero specifics.
Play Bol Bol consintantly and I'll watch Suns games even if the team isn't that great💯
if they knew at start of year why wasn't Bud fired then ?
It sounded like James was saying he may not be the GM moving forward – I think there will be a new GM next season – has to be right ?
KD to Houston is dead. NBA insider poured cold water on that let it go. He is going to Miami.
Have to trade or cut/stretch Beal! He’s bad to have on the roster.
If you didnt trade Booker then theres no significant changes on your team.
Having Booker to you team is equals to no championship
