Well, I am really hoping we can find a way to go 3-2. But if no Booker that will be tough.

If there was any chance the rumors that Giannis wouldn't mind playing for us, I would ship Booker out of here so fast. Millwaukee would be stupid as hell to do that though, they should be looking for the most firsts they can get as the first priority.

Well if he didn’t make them sign all his brothers maybe they would invest in some other talent

What is the current status of Green's injury? Is there a target date for his return?

No, not really. Supposedly they evaluate him in a week, but end of this month beginning of the year was the expected return time.

He has started shooting again.

Again, speculation and rumor, but I read on Facebook of all places that we actually plan to retire Durant's jersey. Huh?

They just need to make sure he is 100% this time. We have seen in multiple sports how hamstring injuries can last the entire season.

I'd trust Flex from Jersey before I trust Facebook.

Came from some site called "Basketball Rush". Coincidentally, an hour ago that so-called news site reported that Kawai has asked for a trade. lol

No thanks.

Hopefully they mean retired, as in no one shall wear a Durant suns jersey ever again.

Are you sure they didn't say burn his jersey?

That's pretty impressive.

I am worried that the Suns' defense will suffer when Jalen Green plays, because he is no defensive stopper by reputation, and I have no idea how readily he will "buy into" (as the tired basketball cliche goes) the team's modus operandi. What do we know about his on-court personality, how likely he is to care about anything besides scoring? Also, please remind me how athletic Green is. Whether he has the athleticism to play strong defense if he wants to.

What I'm saying is that Green is almost a total unknown to me other than "I hear he scores real good." If he fails to cooperate with the team's effort and defense, he should be traded after this season.

Jalen Green has the physical ability to play great D and has done so in stretches. He will be playing on a team with three great defensive players in Dunn, Brooks, and Williams. He will be playing on a team that is coached to play great defense. I think the chances are high that he fits right in with the team philosophy on D. He has better defensive potential than Book.

Greens teammates have bought into him. The entire team travelled to Cali to watch Greens HS retire his HS jersey. This is also a team with players and a coach who hold one another accountable. I have very high hopes that Green will work on this roster.

Best of all, he provides great insurance for when Book gets injured.

2nd all this and will add that Jalen Green is probably the best physical athlete the Suns have had since Gerald Green. Dude has hops and is quick. His shooting has surprised me in a good way the more I've watched past games and highlights. The speed, handles, and finishing inside could open up drive and kick opportunities for everyone if he's committed to being more of a distributor. He's going to add something we don't have.
