    You forgot trading for 2025 Suns Swap, 2027 Suns pick, 2029 Suns and Dallas swap

    But I guess this doesn't fit the narrative amirite?

    Rox are top 5 in the very competitive west, have a bunch of 23 yr old and younger studs, have PHX picks and a Dallas swap incoming and you think he needs to go?

    You and everyone who liked your post needs to go before Stone.

    We will need contracts to hit free agents in trades this summer.

    Nate is actually our current best 3pt shooter -and deserves the deal, happy for him.

    Am I the only one who likes Nate for the value he brings? Dude has shown up every time he sees the floor, I am actually more confident in him than Aaron Holiday.

    I don't love the utilization of our last roster spot but love the contract for Nate. He's done his time and deserves the money which is barely above minium but guaranteed 4 years. If we ever find someone better to acquire we can cut him and it won't hurt the cap but he keeps all the money.

    Oh get over yourself, he’s very solid. He actually hits his threes, provides great energy, can actually handle the ball and take it to the hole in a way Tate or Tari wish they could. He’s very OT like in how he seems to have big hands and just holds it in a way nobody can reach it.

    Very happy for him, once he truly gets his shot, I am sure he can stay in the rotation.

    Maybe you’re too illiterate and can’t read? Come back to me when you realize what I actually wrote.

    Like what?

    I mean, if evaluating GMs based on moves they made 2-3 years ago is the standard then no GM would ever be fired. How can anyone watch this team with zero backup PG depth and zero C depth while having an unproductive bench and not put it on the GM? We’re literally losing games because of that. The Lakers got DFS for garbage and people are content with Stone? This city and fanbase is pleased with mediocrity.

    Didnt you just reply to my post about Stone getting the PHX picks? So thats 2-3 yrs ago? Amen and Cam Whitmore, 2-3 yrs ago? FVV, Dillon and Ime were just a year ago.

    Its funny to see you ignore the critical moves Stone has done and fixate on him not getting a backup pg. Yeah forget the fact that Rockets are a top 5 seed with young studs and have all the Phoenix and Dallas assets coming in while being a playoff team, fire Stone because not getting a backup pg is mediocrity.

    LMAO.
