Anyone want to say something nice about Rudy Gay? I'm having a hard time.

people that wanted attach Doke with a second rounder. that pick may have to go with Gay now.

You can’t move that kind of salary with a second rounder. NAW’s salary is going to really hamstring us here. We may have to offload another first rounder in a deal that’s primarily a salary move where we can shave $4-6M or so.

But the new owner isn't in this to save money. He assured us.

He swallowed a fly and this year he swallowed a spider to eat the fly. Next year he swallows a mouse.

 

[jom2003]

He was responsible for two bad Blw by straight line drives from Clarkson and old man Conley. Something that happened constantly during his time here and he took away any chance Suns had to force overtime. And a late badly missed three late he shouldn’t have taken.

i mean if he can stay in front of the smaller guards consistently we wouldn't be talking about him at all, would we? then he would get paid well over 10mil a year and completely out of our reach. Like Draymond Green or Ben Simmons are the perfect upgrade, why not go get them?

Crowder's a role player and your 5th/6th man in the rotation so of course there's gonna be holes in his game. and like I said, Suns is +11 with him on the floor so he didn't "take away their chance to force OT". he was the reason they had a shot at it to begin with. if he didn't hit that big time 3 or secure that crucial defensive board it would've been game over long before his only TO in the game.

None of our FA signings except for Bogey has worked in our favor it's kinda sad.

Gobert really needs to work on his hands. How does someone with such huge hands lose control of the ball so easily? He should be able to catch a basketball like it’s a baseball.

 

[The Thriller]

So glad we got good Clarkson tonight. I really wish Rudy would go hard at the basket. He nearly cost us the game in those last two mins.

 

[The Thriller]

Thought this was a playoff game. Intensity was high and CP3 was out with his annual playoff injury.

Gay + NAW are going to be very costly if things stand pat....but my assumption is that the roster looks very different next year and salary is cut in other ways besides other picks (also because we have no picks).

Just watched the game.

It ended in the most Crowder way possible. Hits a clutch 3 then throws the ball to the cheap seats.

lmao at taking +/- that literally

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

There are under 4 secs. left. Jae is still in his own backcourt. What exactly were the Suns going to pull off here, except a 30-foot heave? Suns should have called a timeout earlier.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The main difference between PHX main wings and Utah's main wings is that PHX's wings play faster (physically and mentally) and are more versatile.

Without Ingles our wings have become so one dimensional.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Danuel House has quick feet. That's the main thing I've noticed about him. He plays slow mentally though. If he can get his decision making up a couple of ticks he could be a huge boost.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

It’s not that he is supposed to be able to stay in front of every guard he’s defending, but he offered no resistance at all, Clarkson and Conley didn’t even make a fancy move to get by him. It was regular straight line drives where they blew by him like he was stuck in mud. He did that all the time in Utah.

If we're somehow able to make a deep playoff run, I could see us mostly standing pat and bringing this core back to take one more crack at it next year... if we go out in the first or second round again, there are definitely going to be some big changes made to the roster.
