    yeh, i saw that article - really a moronic take on things imo...

    "Instead, Khaman Maluach fell into the Suns’ lap, a generational defensive anchor..."

    well, we'll see i guess....

    The only former Rockets player who matters at all is DMo

    If Jalen Green was as good as the writer of that **** thinks he is, he would still be on the rockets lol.

    Excited to see Amen lock up Jalen, Kevin drop 40 on Dillion and Khaman with 0 rebounds!

    Wait until they find out.

    Posters will start titling threads "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc. And slowly the tone will go from hype, to hope, to celebrating the good games, to factionalism.

    We’ll see. They obviously did not “rob” us, but I could see the trade working out well for them. I really like their draft picks. Mark Williams is really solid when healthy. Brooks is obviously very helpful, and I could see Green really thriving in a #2/#3 scorer role.

    I think they were talking about Rasheer Fleming.

    The trade will only work out for the Suns if they get their picks back, they just got an absolutely elite 23 year old tank commander who can ensure top 3 picks for years... but right now they'll be going to different teams

    It's like they haven't watched the last 4 years .... just looked at the counting stats, never mind the efficiency numbers, and said he's a star, the next Kobe or MJ.

    All while BBR lists his comps as .... Link

    Ralph Johnson
    Jeff Judkins
    Kendrick Nunn
    Maurice McHartley
    Facundo Campazzo
    Louie Nelson
    Al McGuire
    Travis Diener
    Jaylen Nowell
    Jiří Welsch


    That's like a who's who of "who the fook is that guy?"

    I don't really blame suns fans for being excited given their recent misery.

    Their franchise is absolutely better off with 23 yo Green, 29 yo Brooks and rookie Maluach than they are with a sulking 37 yo Durant. Even if Green only had one good game out of 7 vs GSW.

    There's such a thing as a win win trade.

    I think Phoenix will be the winner of this trade when we look back on it. Sorry. Time will tell, but I honestly don't like the trade at all. Having said that, no way any of us can know right now one way or the other. We'll see I guess.
