Say...I wonder why the Suns never been interested in bringing back Jae Crowder, currently a free agent. He is a very poor man's Dillon Brooks.

Ehh, perhaps he is bitter and refuses to play for the Suns again.
I don't think you saw how bad he was in his last NBA season. He's no longer a viable NBA player - which is why he is a free agent.

I guess Crowder does not want to risk sitting out another year. I would also be reluctant to return to Phoenix, but being diplomatic is a good thing.

Crowder has been more than diplomatic if you follow his social media. His issues were with Monty and to a much lesser extent James Jones. That isn't covered in this article but I'm fairly confident we all remember Jae's final time here and being sat.


He likes the Brooks acquisition. I'm growing more in favor also. At least he's our a-hole.

Hope the Suns aren't this dumb. I'd be fine if it only cost Williams, Jalen, and some filler but Maluach should be untouchable. Maluach and Dunn is absurd.

Yeah, no thanks. Gut us of all of our young assets for an aging underachiever.

I really hope Ishbia has learned that is not how you build a team.

Also, this article on the proposed KAT trade misses the point that we traded away a bigger star in Kevin Durant to make this shift. Bringing in another star and giving away too much to do so has already been done. Even I don't think Ishbia would do that again.

PF version of Raja Bell.

Love the guy.

I hope we eventually get some clue as to what the hell happened in 2022, the real story behind the obvious Monty, Ayton, Crowder melt down.

The Suns being linked with Towns trades are as consistent as my bowels.

Very random, come up at inconvientent times, and never reach a real conclusion.

If Booker can bring this group to the playoffs, he deserves some MVP consideration.

Maybe third in voting? You know Jokic and SGA are going to hog all the first place votes.

A bit of an overreaction but does last nights performance make anyone who sat out more expendable?

I think it makes Gillepsie less of a necessity. He was basically the only PG on the roster but with Goodwin and Butler here we have options. I wouldn't say he's expendable but we could be less reliant on him.

Its a shame as he seems like a hard worker and good ethic, but sometimes god given natural abilities can overcome those with less physical attributes that are hard workers.
