Kyle Clark

Re-signing Kelly and retaining Gallen or getting a high compensatory pick for him would be a home run this upcoming offseason. Opportunity to compete again in 2026 and beyond, especially once their litany of key pitchers return from TJ.

Love the trade deadline approach from the Dbacks, who had a season not unlike the Suns falling short of expectations (largely due to injuries). Re-stocked the cupboard with 8 pitching prospects + a ready-now young 1B. In some ways parallels to the Suns this summer albeit a brighter Dbacks future.

Tbf, the Lakers had the best regular season record in the West by 3.5 gb and 2nd/3rd best overall. The Clippers on paper were their biggest competition in the West, and they crapped the bed in the Bubble. As for health advantages, LeBron was a season removed from 8 straight Finals and AD is random.

Eh, lockout season is a different animal than locked inside the Bubble. They had world-class amenities and eventually their families there with them. But it’s still not home and had to require a different level of mental endurance. Lockout season shouldn’t be asterisk either. Just different random.

Any physical advantage, which LA certainly benefited from, was equitable across all teams and reason why there were so many historic scoring and shooting numbers. The mental grind was the offset. Maybe purely a coincidence, but not a huge surprise LeBron and Jimmy each represented.

I agree it should be marked with an asterisk, except not in the way Morey implies. Arguably the most mentally grueling NBA championship to win. Saying otherwise is trash rhetoric. Coming from a Lakers hater.

This one bummed me but no one better than Tim Kurkjian to give a tribute to a legend like Ryne Sandberg.

Gave up Whataburger and now Whatabody

T-3 Series Independent Squat Stand The T-3 Series Independent Squat Stand from Titan Fitness® is a great solution for cramped home gyms where you need to move the stand frequently.

These were a godsend in 2020 and also half the price. With limited space was able to get creative and make a pretty dope home gym setup.

He’s a pos but still sad to see my childhood icons pass away. Ozzy and now the Hulkster who put wrestling into the mainstream. Whatcha gonna do brother…

Pour one out for the Point God. Should have finished his career in Phoenix and never been traded in the first place.

Marcus Smart AND Dillion Brooks would have been A LOT of dog

What is “Team Gentrification”? Progressives?

You had this tweet in jest a couple years ago iirc something to the effect of how will ol’ Donny boy wiggle himself out of this one this time. It stuck with me. In every instance something egregious or horrendous is revealed there’s always a clean escape without a care in the world from his base.

Sure, the WSJ birthday card news seems like a big story today, but how soon we forget the bombshell when *checks notes* Obama wore a tan suit.

Omg poor Frank lol

I love The Mo’ Bros name never heard that before

Yeah, that was disgusting.

Oh shit I forgot about Elie on the Suns late career and blanked on the Morrii. Ainge hard to forgive him for leaving Paxson open even though that was partially Chuck’s fault going for the steal.

I also don’t actually despise Beal & KD, but very annoyed how it all played out and ended.

Could also talk me into Josh Jackson over Beasley and an honorable mention for DA just because of how infuriating he could be (I generally liked him otherwise).

I’ll do a favorites list to balance out the negativity, but it’s a harder list to narrow down into a real lineup.

My all-time least favorite Suns players that could reasonably make up a real lineup. 2025 Edition.

Beal, Turkoglu, KD, Horry, Shaq and 6th man Michael Beasley

What is your lineup?

3 years / $42m with a player option at the end is pretty damn crazy. Banking a lot on a small guard who will be 36 next year. I guess if there’s a guy you would bet on to overcome the odds it’s him.

In an environment (NBA and world at large) of constant change and uncertainty there’s an inherent value in loyalty and seeing things through to the end as a partnership for the player, organization, and fans.

* I get the contract differences, but there’s a big gap in player value

Everyone loves Dame going back to Portland but can’t understand why the Suns would pay to keep prime Book lol.

The real winner today is Gambo. What a relief for him possibly more than anyone the KD & Beal sagas are over with lol.

Waive & stretch opens up more opportunities short-term. Significantly hurts long-term championship contention with already slim margins and improbable odds. Dark day for Phoenix Suns basketball after two massively disappointing seasons.

Welp. Ishbia fucked around and found out.

Under 6’5’’ and a former Charlotte Hornet. Checks a lot of boxes for the Suns.

Bryan Cranston’s drunk scene in The Studio is one of the most hilarious bits in television history and definitely deserves the Emmy.

Manifesting Sunday Night Football on NBC and cool fall weather in my mind right now to survive summer
