OK, thanks. I hope those Sarver hold outs are bought out and move on.

ETA: Ah, this was a different lawsuit:

Losing is never easy, but I feel really good today about our team and am already thinking about where we go from here. I’m so proud of this season and want to thank every single person who made this year possible. First, thank you to the fans who supported our team every single day... and the players, coaches, front office, and entire organization who worked so hard to give our community a team to be proud of. So many fans have told me how much they loved cheering on this team and were proud of how we competed for 48 minutes every game. This season introduced a new era of
@Suns basketball and we have a lot more work to do, which I am truly excited about, and we are just getting started!

I think I'm going to take Ishbia's comments at face value. I'd be surprised if we made a major move before next season. I'm pretty much expecting the same team next season maybe with a few small roster tweaks at most. I do think we'll be a bigger and better rebounding team just by playing an improved Fleming, Dunn, and Maluach more.

Agree, and I hope you're right about the rebounding.

For the first time in recent memory, I'm fine running the team back. I'd take a too good to pass up trade for a big but the team chemistry, and fact our three core guys played only a hand full of games together makes it worth another shot.

Run em back and hope for better health.

We are still paying Beal and Nasir Little combined about 22.5M, and no picks. I don't see us making any moves, if any it would be a blockbuster type of getting rid of either Book or Green, then a tier way below is Allen and Oneale.

If only Ryan Dunn could be a Dennis Rodman type player.

If I remember right, something snapped in Rodman to make him the crazy person he became whereas he used to be mild mannered before. Maybe if we're lucky we'll see Ryan Dunn in a wedding dress soon.

Pertaining to the above, I need a definition of the word "all."

Now Mat Ishbia needs to talk some sense to the NBA about treating their fans right.

Fans want more than highlights.

It eventually all comes back around.

With combat boots. Don't forget the combat boots.

"the key to abundance is meeting limited circumstances with unlimited thoughts"

i love that quote - it means we are only limited by our minds - the suns were stuck in a sorry ass situation - we were stuck with a bunch of 30+ years old players and had no draft picks

thankfully one of those 30+ years olds was kevin durant - and thankfully the houston rockets were smoking big charlie sheen sized rocks that week

that's what changed everything - it gave ish the "get out of fail" card - he could make moves around the board again

now just one year later i'm reading the suns might have too much talent - i'm hearing there might not be enough minutes to go around - how could this be when our playoff roster was only 10 deep?

maaaaaaaan..... far as i can tell with have everything but a true pg - and i'm starting to think that's by design - i'm starting to wonder if book prefers it that way

far as i can tell we went for specific role types and we didn't want duplicates - the only duplicate we kinda have is miles bridges and koa peat - but that couldn't have been planned

when ish signed miles there was zero chance of us landing koa peat in the draft - but i am more than happy it worked out that way - we've haven't had a power forward that can power forward in what - decades?

we have 3 different types of centers

we have brooks dunn and fleming for our 3andD

2 bullly ballers in miles and peat

we have quite the plethora of guards - from goody to green - every other type in between

seriously - ott is coming in with a much better bag this year and i believe he learned from last year

last year ott did everything he could to make the playoffs - which meant less time trust and responsibilities for our rookies

now grayson and oneale are gone

but we're adding fleming - maluach - miles - kennard and eventually koa peat

grayson and oneale played a lot of minutes but not enought to divide them by 5

btw we gotta quit getting hung up with size and positions when it comes to jordan ott - he doesn't give af about size - if fleming can hit the 3 he's playing small forward - even if he's taller the bully ballers

i'm just glad everybody isn't 6'6" with the same skillset this year - we have more range than danny ainge now as far as talent types and sizes go - one could say we have an abundance
