it would make more sense to get a bub carrington jersey if the jazz get the 5th pick. that's what carrington's game winner did for the jazz - simply made the worst case scenario better. didn't give the jazz better odds at #1.

also, well done on the podast. you both have pretty decent radio voices.

I must’ve watched that shot a million times. The probably of him making that shot was probably really low. I felt like we won the lottery. I’ll laugh if the wiz end up getting the 6th pick. lol

Well his shot pushed us into the #1 lottery odds spot. If we win the lottery from that spot it means it was thanks to him.
 
Beal was extremely good at the start of the year. He had bought in to a defensive play maker role and was somehow thriving in that role and the Suns got off to a great start. I'm really not sure what happened, but you can kind of see it in his stats:

October: 2.8stocks per game +/- of +0.3
November: 1.8 stocks per game +/- of -2.4
December : 1.5 stocks per game +/- of -8.9
(March he only averaged 0.7 stocks per game and was a -9.7)

Beal's problem, as I understand it, isn't that he is a bad player, but just that he is taking usage away from players better than him, while not providing enough other things to justify his extremely large contract that can't be moved because of his no trade clause. In other words he's still good, but his contract is the problem.

(FWIW I haven't listened to the pod yet, so this might not be relevant)

I didn't listen either, but I would add that his issue is magnified by the team he plays for. Like out of all the teams in the NBA, PHX is easily one of the worst fits in the league. They have Booker and Durant to create offense. You can't really have three guys who want to play that way. He's gotten older and probably lost a step, but he's probably still one of the better high usage creators in the league if he's in that role. He's not $55M good, but minimum is ridiculous.

I also wouldn't look at anyone in this PHX situation and make too much of a judgement on them. It's a **** show.

The only way for the Wiz to get the 6th pick is for us to get the 5th pick, so I guess some comedic relief but I'll mostly just be sad
