It's starting to look like the Suns... Made this trade before anything else was agreed to? Haynes completely shut down the Beal to the Bucks rumors. View: https://bsky.app/profile/chrisbhaynes.bsky.social/post/3lgeqlkdq5k2e So they have no path to Jimmy Butler now... So what's the plan?

Yeah, I think they need to like do cascading salary dumps to turn Beal's contract into an expiring they can get send to the Heat. I'm guessing Ben Simmons ends up in Miami in this trade.

They're about to trade for Jimmy Butler and give him a max contract, that is the exact opposite of a lifeline.

It's three bad picks for a low probability shot at a great pick. Definitely the right move. The Suns are embarrassing.

Absolute robbery, the Suns might be the worst organization I've ever seen. 3 worthless picks for a good one.

Jazz got the unprotected 2031 Suns first in exchange for their worst picks in 2025, 2027, and 2029. The Suns are legitimately the dumbest organization in NBA history.

I mean, we're probably throwing games for another two years after this and we're probably doing it by Hardy intentionally playing terrible defensive schemes again.

It's hard because Hardy's schemes on defense are like the actual worst in the entire NBA as the entire idea is to surrender open threes. He's probably doing this just to tank, but teams will have no idea how to evaluate him defensively as he's been so focused on making his team as bad...

Hardy's complete shamelessness is good for the tank, but it feels like he's signing his career death certificate by going along with this tank. Ainge is obviously going to betray him and use him as a scapegoat as soon as he gets any heat, that's just who Ainge is, lol. Hardy is going to have to...

Man, these games players are missing with rest are a bad look, lol. If anyone in the national media cared about us, we would be getting destroyed day after day for this.

Flagg definitely proving to be an elite elite prospect.

This was the most embarrassing failed tank game I've ever seen in January. Resting Walker Kessler and the rest of the team to try to throw a game in January and still winning...

Lauri will probably age out of stardom by the time the Jazz have a #1 so whether he's a #2 or #3 seems kind of irrelevant.

This next week or so is really crucial for the tank and Ainge holding onto Collin Sexton hoping he can squeeze out another second round pick or something is close to madness.

To be clear, tanking is bad for the league, bad to follow, and bad to watch, but Ainge had to hype up his regime as bringing a title team to Utah to justify trading Mitchell and Gobert. He set the expectations above second round exit to justify trading the entire team, but the only way to do in...

Oh, I don't think he's an elite elite shooter either. Probably closer to someone like Harrison Barnes.

I am not extremely confident that Harper or Flagg become game changing players, I simply think it's much more likely that they'll be game changers than anyone else in this draft. Harper has prime Harden potential if he becomes an elite shooter and Flagg can probably be a bit better than Tatum if...

Obviously there's a chance and one or two probably will, but each individual player is unlikely so we probably won't get a game changing player after 2. Ainge hasn't really shown any elite drafting skills either these last few years to make anyone confident that he can find a star even in a...

MaxPreps says he shot 90% in his senior season from the line, but I was trying to track down the exact makes/attempts and couldn't find it because high school basketball shooting stats are kept terribly, wheeeeeee

Okay, let's be very precise. Modeling free throw percentage as a random process with some intrinsic mean and variance, it appears likely that the 28/51 Ace is currently shooting from the line does not reflect his the actual mean of his free throw percentage. Instead, given that there is a...
