    ...and yet, it didn't stop the Suns from beating the crap out of basically everyone with those 2 players except teams that were better than them. Booker and Beal's being able to play together isn't related to their front office's inability to have a PG or a better team around them. Beal's contract is much more a problem than his ability to actually play with Booker.

    Just to say...I don't care about any one aspect of the game * as long as a team is winning. For a team that just won 49 games with 3 freaking players and Nurkic (who played pretty good when I watched), I have a hard time buying that 2 of them can't play together.

    *edit: except having dicksheads on the court.

    Feels like Grayson Allen should be mentioned in the same sentence as Nurkic... I mean he shot 46% from three, that's going to get you a few Ws.

    They did, they called it the weakest draft in history and that there was no true number 1 pick. He wasn’t much his first two years either.

    Oh I agree dude, I’m just stating it how the narrative is pushed. I’d love Jalen and Booker playing together

    At this point, I don’t think I want to make any major trade until next offseason. I don’t want to let go of FVV or Brooks.

    Yeah sometimes fans think shiny toy that someone else has is more fun to play with. Not always the case though.

    I like this team and I want to see it grow more organically.

    I'm not gutting the team for a chance at an aging superstar. Doesn’t make sense to me. Can this roster be improved ? Of course. Just has to be right and I don’t want it disrupting chemistry.

    I think this is pretty much the consensus, few want to break up the core of this team for an old "star".

    It's got to be the right incoming player for the right deal .... the only real difference is who we would put on the untouchable list.

    For me, that's FVV, Brooks, Jabari, Sengun, Amen, Tari and probably Shepard.
