I thought the Suns new training facility would be finished by now.

I really hope this means we’re getting rid of our generic Walmart looking uniforms.

New sponsorship patches on the uni’s?

Jalen Lecque goes to Klutch Sports.

I'd be thrilled if Lecque did something this season but I'm not counting on it.

This was bound to happen since it's been on the market since February. It's not a message or anything like that. He moved into a bigger house before the pandemic started and if anyone watched any of his Twitch streams he talked about how weird it was moving into a new house and setting things up when the world was shut down. This article mentions him living elsewhere already.

Another thing mentioned in this article is how Booker's brother has gotten him into investing in real estate. That brother was listed as an agent on this sale also so it really is nothing to read into.

I'm sure Chicken Little is already clucking about how the sky is falling, again, but he also does that when Booker misses a field goal.

Yeah, every little thing that happens starts an avalanche of speculation. I guess there is not much to write about this time of season. It should only heat up more when the NBA Finals are over.

Uh oh...

Imagine that... a guy signs a new huge contract and goes out and buys himself a more expensive house... crazy... he clearly
wants out or he would of kept both houses.

Suns reportedly 40/1 odds to win 2021 NBA championship.

[Chaplin]

Nine teams ahead of us in the West, but we're actually tied for 14th in the league, at 40/1 with the Pelicans and the Utah Jazz. That's pretty impressive considering the past 10 years. Hope the bubble wasn't fools' gold.

It's nice to feel like the Suns are on their way up.

The Suns actions this off season through the trade deadline is crucial for their future.

What are the odds to just get to the playoffs?

This is a tidbit about the hire of Kevin Young that caught my eye. The Suns need some help in developing young players.

Prior to his time on the Sixers’ coaching staff, Young spent nine seasons as a coach in the NBA G League, including time as head coach of the Delaware Blue Coats, Iowa Energy and Utah Flash. His first coaching position in pro basketball was as head coach of the Shamrock Rovers in the Irish Super League for the 2006-07 season, which followed time as an assistant coach at Utah Valley University and Oxford College. Young played collegiately at Clayton State University prior to his coaching career.

I wonder if/who he helped develop someone in the g league? :Crosses fingers:
