I don’t get it. They fired him because he couldn’t produce a literal miracle?

Heh
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

I guess the good thing is you get paid for 3 or 4 years of work and only have to work one of them.

Heh
Ayton was straight up defending LeBron and Giannis on the slide off their dribble penetration as a 20 year old rookie 7-foot Center, while placing him in situations to maximize offensive skill sets.

Devin Booker was the most efficient of his career, despite lower 3FG%, meaning he made a higher amount of 2s and FTS than current metrics say should be doable despite the focus of every defense.

TJ Warren shot a blistering percentage on many attempts from range after never even being a decent perimeter shooter in 4 years prior.

Kelly Oubre, a player Jones didn’t even want, excelled alongside two rookies, another castoff in Tyler Johnson, and Booker and the quintet had one of the best offensive ratings in the league when they played.

All this with no PG in a system that needs one.

He produced miracles.

What a horrible person. He tried to go into a section reserved for special people. When the cops rightly put him in chains for deigning to breathe such rarefied air, he attempted to get the fuck away from those assholes.

Under Armour & Adidas were both giving Jackson's mom $10K/month to play at Kansas. She couldn't repay the favor by getting him into the VIP? WTF mom??

If Sarver doesn't luck out with one of those, it's time for everyone to tune the Suns out completely. Because at this point, the only hope Sarver has left is luck.

If Suns don't get 1 or 2 just trade the pick for a vet.

Okay, but now you're hoping for team management. The Suns don't do team management. They just do random moves or non-moves that make you say, "What the fuck was that?" In the Sarver era, all anyone can hope for is luck.

Last draft they got lucky. But this organization is going to need a lot more luck than that.

Doesn't that depend on who gets the #2 pick? I've seen mock drafts with Morant going #3.

Only thing I can think of is they don't see another option for the point and I guess Rozier and Booker are friends.

No. He's a restricted FA anyways, if they wanted him that badly they'd just grossly outbid anything the Celts would match. They don't want him at all from what it sounds like, let alone want him bad enough to give up the #6 pick for. Mike Conley for #6 though I could see happening with the Grizzlies falling into Ja Morant.

Why not sign him to a max deal? I mean, if you’ve managed to get your dick in your own ass, you might as well break it off up there, right?

Another thing floating around is trade the pick for Alonzo Ball.

I'm not against just using the pick on Darius Garland if he's there.

Trade the pick for Goran Dragic, pay the $19,200,000 bonus year on his current contract, and then let him go in summer 2020.

I didn’t think anything could top the Bulls trading the pick that eventually became Jordan Bell to put $3.5M directly into Jerry Reinsdorf’s pocket in the midst of their third separate rebuilding project of the past decade, but if the Suns REALLY try, maybe they can do it.

Listening on NPR to some hockey reporter from up north talking about the Coyotes new owner and he let it slip out that Sarver is quietly shopping the Suns.

Yeah, they house a NHL team there.

Phoenix didn't approve giving the Suns money to renovate their arena so they could move to Vegas. The renovation agreement keeps the Suns in Phx until 2037 at the earliest. Keep trolling though.

Either way here's the tweet mentioned previously.

Love Arte, but if he buys the suns you better hope he thinks he knows less about basketball than he does baseball. Arte playing GM from the owners box is the last thing you want after Sarver.

Wtf are you talking about? Sarver doesn't sell the team to a city, he sells it to a person or a group of persons. The guy will sell to the highest bidder and that highest bidder who buys the Suns will be contractually obligated to keep the team in Phoenix until 2037 per the agreement the Suns signed with Phoenix for the $200 million plus in public money being given to renovate the arena in downtown Phoenix.

Do I need to spell this out for you further or are you going to tell me the sausage is made however you see fit?
