    They brought back the Enchirito, though. Strings had to be pulled for that.

    See, that's the thing. FIFA is so corrupt, they even tangle up themselves. The red card on Balogun was likely fraudulent and intended for fraudulent purposes. Then the rescinding of the red card was also fraudulent, in service of some other fraud. It happens so routinely now with FIFA, their...

    And then he gets a tattoo bragging about the one time he saved Metropolis.

    Suns Roster Post Draft 6-25-2026

    Agree. The Suns are still another lineup fix away from being anything but very marginally better than last year.

    2026 NBA Free Agency and Trades

    You mean the 40% of his potential that he's currently at? Possibly. But he's probably headed towards half that if/when he ever starts to slow down physically. Then again you can argue that he barely tries when he does play, so he's not likely to ever incur a serious injury unless it's a freak...

    Jalen Green 'Preciation Thread

    Chicago for sure is a good match. They don't have a primary scorer to build around. They just drafted a young guy who could be that in Caleb Wilson, and they signed Norman Powell. Supposedly, they want to move Josh Giddey so they can get Coby White back in the lineup as a more athletic PG, as...

    2026 NBA Free Agency and Trades

    Probably true. Some team will likely keep taking a chance on him because of his size and athletic talent, at least until such time as an injury or other physical issue makes him less desirable from that standpoint and you're just left with his crappy/lazy attitude.

    Came just this close to being the best competitor in that draft. :D

    2026 NBA Free Agency and Trades

    The only possible reason that he could be considering hooking up with the Warriors that I can imagine is that he's grudging against the Lakers now so much that he thinks he can ruin their division season by teaming up with Steph, etc.

    2026 off season

    That is in entirely apparent. It seems like no one much likes him as a teammate. Watching his entitled attitude on the court during the game, it's not hard to imagine why. I would wager he's just as bad in other contexts.

    Suns sign Pat Spencer

    That seems logical. They are way overloaded on guards at this point.

    This begs the question - which Celtics executive or coach's wife did Jaylen Brown sleep with?

    You know what I want them to do.

    Suns sign Luke Kennard.

    Not bad, but not sure it moves the needle much if at all.

    Exactly. I would have guessed he was in LA maybe five years max. Crazy.

    Dang, Germany and Netherlands both out on almost the first day of eliminations. The rest of the traditional powers better be on high alert.

    Shams: Suns trade for Miles Bridges

    In the presser, at least the Suns said they were like almost 100% sure he's stopped beating up women.

    2026 NBA Free Agency and Trades

    Good for him that he's revived his career. He seems like a nice enough guy and a decent enough bench player. His couple years here were a disaster, mostly because Monty kept insisting he was some kind of messiah in the making that was flying under everyone's radar. I don't doubt that put an...

    Shams: Suns trade for Miles Bridges

    The Suns really did step in it quite a bit with this move. Any kind of future PR/media campaign or other sort of business (or even player related) transaction that they tout as being motivated by community interest, principle, or just "doing the right thing" is going to come off as cynical and...

    Will the Suns win more games this year than last? (2026-27 edition)

    I think they are likely now going to win more games than they were with the "run it back" lineup. But I hated that roster and would have guaranteed that team would fall off by ten wins next season if they did run it back. I think there is a reasonable chance now that they can at least match the...

    Shams: Suns trade for Miles Bridges

    That would be a real mess, if it happens. A lot of serious fans will likely turn on Ishbia, even more so than with the Durant trade.

    Shams: Suns trade for Miles Bridges

    I can't help but wonder if a Green for Giddey deal could still be percolating in the background? May be wishful thinking on my part but it would go a long way to making the starting lineup actually, like, good. The Suns are now able to trade other first rounders after the Bridges trade, so it...

    Shams: Suns trade for Miles Bridges

    As far as owners go, it seems we got rid of our version of Donald Sterling, but we may have ended up with our version of Ted Stepien instead. :D
