Suns refusal to be worse than just okay for the last couple years is insane. Had that year where they were supposed to suck & didn't & followed it up with dumb moves to stay stuck in the middle.


Also games like tonight is why it was dumb for Bron to have those 2 or 3 team meetings earlier this season when they were missing multiple key guys. There is no excuse for a game like this :yeshrug:

They tried to tank but it didn't work. Now, they gonna tank by no choice. I honestly think they will start winning once they can get a legit PF. I would seriously be shopping Alex Len for a good PF prospect. But it's hard tho/

Didn't think of that, probably a factor but idk man, I feel like Nerlens has played a lot better this season when Okafor has been out. Not sure if they're a good fit playing together but you could be on to something with Ish. Guess we'll have to see when Okafor is back in the lineup
They were never going to be a good fit next to each other. Both guys operate in the paint and provide zero spacing on offense when they're on the floor together. One of them has to get moved.

Imagine if Embiid ever gets healthy...

They have a solid PF in Morris even though he wants out since they traded his brother for no real reason. They shouldn't have signed Chandler & moved either Bledsoe or Knight & just play their young guys. They still trying a 2 PG lineup with 2 guys that play like SGs, PJ Tucker is starting & getting big minutes over TJ Warren, & Booker is stuck behind their 2 high minutes PGs. All that is happening & they'll probably somehow end up with enough wins to pick later in the lottery.

I agree with your post, but there was plenty reason to get rid of Marcus Morris.He was a bad locker room presence, black hole on offense, treated his coach like a bytch on national tv, and assaulted a man at a high school basketball game last season.

I've watched damn near every Suns game the last 10 years.Marcus wasn't shyt.Never liked his "me first" attitude.

Markief is actually the more cool headed twin.

Marcus is on his 3rd team in as many years.

Knight and Bledsoe can score well together but they are not a good defensive backcourt. Shooting guards like Middleton, Derozan, and Klay always kill Knight. Even the Sixers backcourt scored above average tonight.

Knight can't guard the 2 and he's not so good guarding the 1 either. Knight would be better off the bench. Very good scorer but that's about it.

The Suns need to give up on the starting 2 point guard experiment.
