Scary Trend
I was shocked to watch what happened at the end of the last, home game against the Wizards. Our big three failure to attempt any shots when the Wizards got to within four. I still can’t believe the ball going low to Richards. Nicky made four foul shots, which I didn’t think he’d do but that our three scorers, Book, Durant and Beal reluctance to take a shot with the game on the line. Kuzma was unconscious until his shot stuck between the back board and rim. We are in deep trouble. I have watched Book make impossible shots at the end of games so we could win but all three basically contribute the same thing, shooting. Book at least tries a little bit of everything to help. We need an alpha player, a Jimmy Butler type, who can create and drive to the basket. I guarantee Jimmy would had taken the shot or drove to the basket and either shot or passed off underneath and not kick it out. I believe we have a small opening left in our window for a championship. I lived through Boston, Chicago and Milwaukee near misses. Richards is nasty and what we need underneath. Durant can play the three, Book the two and a combination rotating to play the unnatural one, the way I see our one being played. We need a four. Butler can rebound at his size and brings intensity. If we deal Beal to get Butler and include Dunn and say one draft pick and also get Kevin Love back, I’m okay with it. We need to win now. Dunn may become a star but that may take a few years. Years we don’t have with this roster. We also need to utilize Nurkic at five and PlumDog at four. Grayson, O’Neale, Jones, Morris and Ighodara would complement the team.
Need to buy more popcorn. Getting uglier.
If you guys get him the Suns will make a serious Run he would be super motivated 👏🏀
He'll be on his best behavior? HE MAKES $50 MIL A YEAR. He should already be on his best behavior.
Jimmy still doesn't understand Pat will not trade him until the right deal comes. He could just play and get paid. He wants to play games. Pat will keep giving him suspensions. 😂 I hope yall find a better deal amd Jimmy gets stuck in here sitting in the bench. 😂😂
I think it's a ploy to make any deal for him seem more palatable for the Miami fans.
Jimmy is not a pro,i would rather have lavine over him any day!
I blame Pat Riley. They should have traded him a week ago. But Miami wants too much for him.
You guys are idiots
This makes his Trade value drop for the Miami Heat
We need someone like this…. Suns is soft
8:30 he’s intentionally trying to get traded and yet you guys are trying to spin it as if it’s isolated behavior not connected to anything 🫵🤣
