Suns 2025-2026 Season Discussion

[Superbone]

I think I understand the KD situation.

They lost last night and KD was complaining he had 35 points and was carrying the team, and he shouldn't have to do so much.

Well - he also had 8 turnovers.

KD thinking he needs the ball more is precisely what sends his team into downturns. They stop playing as a unit, focus on getting him touches which leads to more turnovers and frustration from his teammates about not being involved, this leads to more losses which only encourages KD that he needs to do even more and further depresses his teammates.

It's a vicious cycle that destroys morale.

At this point I am pretty sure we will finish ahead of the Rockets.

Plus, he probably blames the turnovers on his teammates.

The Suns are expanding their $2 menu. It's a nice gesture.

Ishbia being considerate of the fans is a quality I like.

I'm not liking these schedule changes that potentially eliminate television viewers such as myself.

If they can get to the 4 seed or so, they have a real chance of more than one playoff series.

Last night was the first game where I said to myself, “maybe those yahoos on the suns board on ASFN have actually seen something I didn’t.” Congrats to all of you who have been stumping for livers. For at least one night he’s proven me wrong. I hope he continues to do so.

Livers is a poor man's Royce. He's not flashy and does a lot that doesn't show in the box score but you can tell when he's doing it well because the team is firing on all cylinders. He's never going to drop 20+ but he'll make the looks he gets and make guys earn it on defense.

I know it may sound crazy but I like Livers more than Dunn over the last 2 months. Dunn started well but has fallen off a cliff in terms of confidence and production. I'd rather see Livers get his minutes until whatever Dunn is dealing with is figured out. There's less chance Livers has a big game but he won't be as much of a non factor.

I can’t argue with your logic. Dunn looks totally lost to me mic of the time.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

If the team has to trade, it should make Dunn available.

I don’t think I’m here yet.

 

[Hoop Head]

If the team has to trade, it should make Dunn available.

I wouldn't be against him being available but it would take an Aaron Gordon type PF to do that for me. I just don't see anyone who fits that bill on the trade market.

I suppose it's worth keeping an eye on Orlando to see what happens in their crowded frontcourt as extensions are earned and kick in but I don't see them parting with Paolo or Wagner for Dunn plus cap filler.

Maybe Jerami Grant if he didn't get his ridiculous extension recently. Not sure why we'd help Portland though as he should have negative value based on his contract.
