She "threw water on him"? This is a joke, right?

Dude's the Graham Platner of the NBA. How long an extension are we talking about?
Guy still can't stay out of trouble with his ex - just a terrible acquisition that Ishbia has been obsessed with for years.

Or maybe his ex won't let go of him. He was clearly wrong in the past. That doesn't mean he is in the present. Not enough info to draw conclusions about recent stuff.

Fleming definitely has exciting potential. We need him to be Amare 2.0.

We are in a pretty good spot up front. Williams and Briges Start with Fleming and Man backing up, with the hope next year one or both of young guys will start and move the vet(s) to the bench.
No offense, but this is coo coo for coco puffs

Loved both Grayson and Royce but adding a solid starter at a position of need outweighs backups. You can trade for backups anytime. Now Bridges needs to play well. And yes not get in any more trouble.

there's more dirt on both Miles and his ex. Ishbia should back out of his latest rash move while he can. The contract hasn't been signed yet.
Luke, on the radio today, admitted he was "kind of hoping the trade would not have gone through." Now, Ishbia has some expainin' to do.

Suns GM Brian Gregory on the newest Sun:
"Miles has established himself as a highly productive player whose game continues to evolve. His elite athleticism, strength and versatility allow him to impact the game on both ends … we're excited to welcome him to Phoenix."

Well. The PC will be interesting. It's good for them they are having it after the Kennard signing.

Basketball wise. I think Bridges and Brooks can play together. Bridges and Sheer can play together. Koa and Sheer can play together. Brooks and Sheer can play together.

I don't see Bridges and Koa. They look like nearly the same player to me.

I wonder if we will ever consider Oso at PF. I suppose if he gains an outside shot.

I don't like that Bridges's on-court contributions are being way overhyped to compensate for his off-court problems. He's just not that good a player. Even if he were a model citizen off the court, this would be a questionable move.

Not sure anyone here is doing that. We all have weighed in on the off-court stuff. It's out of our control.

Not sure anyone here is exaggerating his on the court contributions. He is a 6-7 physical player who adds a dimension we did not have before. His outside shooting is nothing special. We replaced Royce with him. I can see how that might be a better balance. Kennard replaces Grayson, which seems fine to me. I do not think Kennard is much different than Royce. It's rebalancing which is fine. And these two are cheaper against the cap than Royce and Grayson.

The media-types have said much nicer things about him--the national media--than fans have said here.

He’s a solid starter not sure what’s being overhyped
