    Jabari Smith should be our target imo. Fits our squad way better for several reasons. Swinging cheap on a former no. 3 pick feels like a very cronin-like move

    If we don’t move one vet…we can chalk this up as a mistake by Cronin.
    If any sort of 1st is being efferent for Rob and we haven’t or don’t take it, that’s a mistake.

    Count me as one who does NOT like Whitmore. Does he play defense? Does he do anything other than score? If he's so good, why are they trading him?

    No thank you. We have enough forwards unless a real 2-way star is available.

    I wonder if all the big moves were done last night?

    Haven't seen anything today.

    A friend of mine pointed out how since we all have cell phones now you never hear something like, "I've got 10:20, what do you got?"

    I had totally forgot about the "What do you got?" question in regards to what time it actually is.

    Yeah though I got about 1 hour 40 minutes until the deadline.

    You don't just make a trade for the sake of making a trade.

    You do when guys who he admittedly require a runway to PT can't even get 20 mins in an OT game.

    Yes. Is a bad trade better than no trade? Heck no.

    TRADE announced:

    Jusuf Nurkic and a 2026 1st round pick (least favorable of Suns, Wizards, Magic ) to the Hornets for Cody Martin, Vasilije Micic and 2026 2nd round pick (via Warriors).

    If your last name is Martin and you actually get PT in the league, you got traded. The twins and KJ all have new teams.

    Once again this organization failed its loyal fans. Ownership has no interest in being a contender. Put a few asses in the seats at moda, sell some shirts, and you are content.

    Shameful. Pathetic. Trotting out Ant and JG for the next several years. Joe will probably renew them too. Sad sad day for POR fans. No top 2025 picks and running with middling starters for the foreseeable future.

    "2 4 6 8 Playin".
    that is the team's cheer

    We'll see. I just wouldn't put it past us to tank after the all star break and I don't think we win more than 2 of the next 4 before all star.

    Phoenix can't seriously go into the stretch run with JUST Nic Richards and Plumdog as their only Cs.

    Suns not only giveaway Ayton and Camara, they have to giveaway more to get rid of Nurk. Dark times in Phoenix
