Let me know some topics of discussion you guys might want know my opinion on the show this week ⬇
Do we bring Green off the bench to begin easing his transition like SA did with Wemby?
One thing to note is that the only time we were fully healthy, Grayson started with Devin and Jalen.
Give me a break about Devin Book..er. He can keep scoring 20 to 25 pts per game we are golden. He is one of the most consistent max player in Western conference. Let’s go purple and 🍊 orange.
Knicks are too soft. A power fwd with size is needed. Benny and the jets 👌
So-Called experts mis-analyzed Suns this season due to major talent losses and a new coaching structure . We all bought into the Bullcrap that the lazy media was preaching. Underestimating Delvin Booker leadership and his experiences he brings. We we have the team we have because of Book 📕 . Media is mentally lazy. Let’s go!
Thank god you don’t run the team BG 😆
those YouTube shorts are mad entertaining can’t lie😂😂😂
not really sure why concerned about jalen green anyway….dude got 9 40 pt games on his resume, hes an elite talent. It sounds like youre thinking way too much. and we could use his scoring when booker is off….and brooks is coming back down to earth.
Grayson Allen can play small forward too
You said it, the Suns are fun to watch again. I'm looking forward to Jalen's return. Go Suns!
Gonna have to play Allen at the 3. Then there’s only 4
I feel like Devin Booker is on that permanent “ shooting woes” category. His accuracy is just not there anymore. Maybe it’s age. I just hope that having green back will open it up a bit for him
Book averages 28 pts a game. We are winning. He's doing everything else better than last year. Its fine.
theres no condern about anybody, go suns
The style they play, the coaching, the owner, the facility, the weather,
Just watch out, in the off season. Someone great will push to come to Phx. Stand pat for now.
With Kuminga’s value so low, do you think we could get him without picks, and is that worth it if you could?
Even knicks fans call yabu trash.
If I have to suffer this conversation regarding trading Allen one more time I'm unsubcribing, its such a low IQ discussion, GA is so integral to our culture, its obvious how much smarter John is then Ben.
31:54 John I feel like you contradicted yourself. If this is just a transition/sorta transformation year why are we holding on to an expiring contract just for “injury insurance”?? Richards can be used to get under the luxury tax & gain a second rd pick. We NEED draft assets. Wayyy better than seeing a guy we gave up 2 seconds & Okogie for last year go for nothing
was Brunson playing?
go sun's go
Does Booker already make 75M right now? Does Jalen Green’s stats apply to his new team? Just asking.
We beat Knicks with Brunson , and without Brunson, they were missing hart we were missing green , Knick fans hate that they got swept by suns . When Jalen is back they going to hate us more , go suns!
Tell Dillon brooks that this offense is a ball moving team
