I just checked the game log… we didn’t even play on April 12, 2021.

For what it is worth, Jae Crowder did have 8 threes against the Rockets on 4-12-2021.

Weird. Couldn’t find that game on the yahoo game log.

Yeah, I found it on Basketball Reference.

I swear I don’t have anything against Crowder but as the season continues and he keeps tweeting crap like this makes me dislike him more. Sort of the same way I started to dislike Patrick Peterson.

Just go about your merry way.

Based on the (small) sample so far, I think this season's bench is probably the best Suns bench since 2010.

Yeah I don't think so. I know they have done well so far but just having Cam off the bench makes last 2 years bench better.

Best starters in the last 3 years, with the removal of J(ealous) Crowder and adding Cam.

The bench seems to have more chemistry this year, imo its all Landale who makes the second unit gel so well. He's definitely more versatile than McGee, and allows Craig to play more free. I think Lee provides a bit of an edge to that group as well.

I think Jae Crowder would be in better basketball shape if he were actually playing in NBA games.

Cmon Jae, games are in color you should practice in color.

Dario, fans love you and haven't forgotten. Stay positive.

By Duane Rankin, Arizona Republic:


“DAR-I-O! DAR-I-O! DAR-I-O!”

Saric felt the love – and greatly appreciated it after not playing for five games.

“It’s just amazing,” Saric said. “I want to say thank you to all of them. They’re fantastic and have been supporting me on this journey. Every time I come in, the applause is just amazing. Just really means a lot for me. I’m so happy. Really nice crowd. They respect me and I respect them so much. They’re amazing.”

'It's hard': Suns' Dario Saric battling through lack of playing time after missing last season

Dario Saric didn't play in five straight games before seeing action in Phoenix's win over Minnesota. Saric missed last season with an injury.

As opposed to his colleague at home.

Monty wants MORE shooters, so Ben Simmons makes ZERO sense for us.

Welcome to Phoenix.

This probably means that the Nets offered Simmons to the Suns for Booker, the Suns hung up, and someone with the Nets decided to leak it just to make it sound like they're trying to do something.

Actually it’s the nets. They likely asked for more than booker.

I hope DeAndre Ayton comes back only when he's 100 percent. With the team's good record and performance, there is no need for him to play hurt early in the season.

However, with his un-ambitious personality, I don't suppose that would be a problem. Paul might demand to play at 75 percent. Ayton...not sure.

How can you call this guy un-ambitious?

Don’t compare me to Ayton I play defense- Joel Embiid.

Ayton has gone from lost on defense to flat out great of defense.

His offense has improved dramatically his shooting percentages have sky rocketed

Yes he’s a finesse center it’s just who he is but he’s certainly put in the work

I’m just saying

PHX gets:
KD

Nets:
Bridges
Crowder
Saric
4 1st
3 swaps

Make it happen JJ

Good lord that is a horrendous overpay. No other team could offer up even half that trade value.

Every single time a team has made one of these "give up 7 years of the draft" trades they have gone onto vehemently regret it.

Crowder, Saric, Cam Johnson, 2 firsts... that is the absolute limit and it's well beyond what anyone else could offer, it's probably an overpay.

It's not going to work salarywise and I wouldn't trade Bridges in the other proposed trade.

Yes I would trade all our picks, two nobodies and a high-end role player for KD, even though he’s entering his “twilight”. It would give us the best shot at a title while CP is still hanging on.

Again... no other team can offer even half that.

Bidding against ourselves is stupid.

Same. In a heartbeat.

Jaylen Brown is better than our package. So is a Scottie Barnes/OG Anunoby package. Teams will be more desperate at the deadline especially the underperforming playoff teams.
