2018 NBA OFFSEASON

a firable offense tbf

McDonough's tenure was met with immediate success, but difficulties with trades and draft picks short-circuited tenure. McDonough has been pursuing a starting-level point guard in marketplace, only to have many teams holding Suns up for an unprotected first-round pick in talks.

Clown show

lol unbelievable

love to have a fickle rich guy hanging over my shoulder

The challenge for the Suns remains unchanged: Robert Sarver is perhaps the NBA's most involved owner in basketball decision-making and the plan can change day-to-day. McDonough survived five years with him. Recruiting a new GM is never an easy sell there.

oh no torn acl for dejounte :( :(

glad the suns are around to make the timberwolves only the second biggest shitshow of a franchise :)

Fuckkkk

that really sucks

uhg sorry bise et al

Suns legend Steve Nash -- a Sarver favorite -- continues to have no interest in pursuing the demands of the day-to-day duties of running a front office, league sources tell ESPN. He works as consultant with the Warriors now.

-- a Sarver favorite --

nash too smart.

just hang out with the splash bros, kd and kerr in the bay twice a month or deal with sarver on the daily....

haha did not know this:
https://valleyofthesuns.com/2016/10/20/phoenix-suns-sarver-worst-nba/

imo its unfair for steph to get advice from nash

doubt sarver is a nash favorite

nash is positive about everyone and everything when he's on simmons' podcasts, to the point of absurdity. never seems to mention robert sarver

The mother of a guy I used to know was Sarver’s personal assistant for a few years. I heard some stories I wouldn’t dare put in writing. I think he’s a tad off, to say the least.

James Jones going from on a team to (maybe) GM of a team in one year is pretty wild.

just like that dude on ballers

kinda like that one guy elton brand

imo its unfair for steph to get advice from nash

dribble good, pass good, shoot the ball into the basket

, scamper around like a madman

, set back screens for looney

Clear already this goes beyond McDonough. At least 3 members of PHX front office and scouting staff have also been let go, perhaps more we don't know of yet/more to come, sources say. https://t.co/4d38f31750

1 week left until 🏀

I didn't watch last night but apparently the Warriors got 3 Ts and Kerr got ejected?

yeah check the basketblolz thread for kerr yelling "i dont wanna be here anyway" at the ref

been a number of rumbles preseason has bad energy no one wants to be there

Story soon on ESPN: Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver is leaning toward the eventual hiring of interim general manager James Jones as the franchise’s full-time GM, league sources tell ESPN. Jones had been VP of Basketball Operations under former GM Ryan McDonough.

sick

this means theyre getting lebron

suns angling for a top 3 cursed orgs spot

I believe in Lonzo Trier!

youtube tv + nba league pass = ~$500 per season, you get a six person /family plan/ with yr youtube tv account, split w buds, beware tho u can only be part of one family at a time, basic youtube tv gives u all the national games including nbatv, league pass gives u the rest :)

yay matty A is back!

lonzo is good

Wait a second...

pretty sick piece http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/24504654/kyrie-irving-art-sick-handles-nba

the one v dray is kinda the craziest cause even tho its the least flashy at no point does it look lie kyrie has him beat but then he scores easily

LET BOBAN PLAY

hi everyone i've been authorized by glen taylor to execute the jimmy butler trade

please post any offers and i will send them to the organization

will you take lag∞n and a 2nd-round pick?

they should trade him for "lonzo ball"

three team trade - ILX gets Gorgui Deng & Rajon Rondo, Timberwolves get lagoon and Lonzo, Lakers get Jimmy Buckets

trivia q! just saw this on twitter:

last season was the first time since they started recording blocks in the early 70s that a player who is 7 feet or taller played over 200 minutes and failed to record a single block.

who was it?

Why would ILX want to give up a prolific scorer like lagoon in return for a head case like rondo and a slightly below-average center?

lol xp just posted it in the stats thread

aw yeah

All-Star Jimmy Butler participated in Minnesota's practice, a session that included him verbally challenging teammates, coaches and front office, league sources told ESPN. Butler was vociferous and emotional at times, targeting Thibodeau/Layden/Towns/Wiggins. Story soon on ESPN.
