They’ll “do right” by KD because stars go where they want. I’m looking at the 3 Texas teams.

Let's hope Durant is willing to be traded to more than one team, otherwise it could be the Jimmy Butler situation all over again.

Cody Martin is still making progress per Bud.

Cody Martin or Micic are not helping move the needle on wins and losses for this squad. I love the Martin twins, but Cody isn't Super Man!

If Martin can play good defense, he is needed.

It just depends on who he is out there with. If they p[air him with Dunn, they can slow down the runs to the basket. If he plays by himself with the usual suspects, it's not going to work. They switch off guys to the weaker defender. We need two good guys with size at the same time out there. The real problem has not been finding the three shooters. Martin and Dunn could really help on that if paired together.

I see Martin filling Okogie's role. The problem with playing both Martin and Dunn together, as you are aware, is shooting.

The problem with them not playing with the shooters is the shooters keep giving the points they score right back the next trip down the floor. We need to get some defense mixed in with our scorers. If Dunn got back his three point shot that wouldn't be a problem.

Should we be in the game time thread? 
1. Replace James Jones
2. Announce that they are listening to all offers
3. If they get good deals for our big three then hit it
4. Might as well stay with the same coach, or promote him to GM and let assistant coach get head coach position.
We need to rebuild the roster before looking at coaching issues. We are screwed anyway so let us not hold a fire sale but ensure we get good value back. For instance Beal might have a negative trade value, so we have to keep him, but if we get something good for Durant and Booker then sell.

This team is circling the drain with 21 games left. Turn overs have been the story all year, 22 last night allowing a season high 40 points for the Twolves. STILL they commit them. Any basketball team I had ever been on, the coaches would go back to fundamentals in the passing game. Especially if it was this persistent. You may say, "These guys are pros and don't need to be shown how to pass." Evidently, NOT. This has been a problem for 3 seasons now. In football they would make you carry the ball around 24X7 to keep on your mind protecting the ball. These guys are literally handing wins to their opponents.
Frustrating that it should be something easily fixable. Coaches and players both should be embarrassed this has gone on so long.

Yeah, the only thing I can take from it is the players just don't care.
So many passes are obviously stupid decisions I just don't see any other explanation.

If the Suns decide to fire Mike Budenholzer, keep a close eye on a potential pursuit of Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups.Billups has no guaranteed years left on his current contract with Portland.Lately, Billups is doing a fantastic job with the Blazers’ young core.

The Suns have the worst defense in the NBA over the past month allowing opponents to score 121.3 points per 100 possessions.Over the same span, Phoenix also ranks 28th in net rating.A team that looks completely checked out since Kevin Durant was almost traded at the deadline.
