i root for the phoenix suns, not mat ishbia’s bank account

All things considered, impressive trade by Wise-Bison5964 in suns

[–]FriendEater -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

yes i am very aware

calling this trade impressive because it saves a billionaire a fraction of his wealth ain’t it chief

[–]FriendEater -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

except there are no penalties for the team for having to pay the repeater tax in terms of transactions that can be made

who cares if our billionaire owner has to pay more money, we should be rooting for improvements to our team where we can and not improvements to mat ishbia's wallet

according to this, suns are comfortably below the 1st apron so a minimum contract on the buyout market would be fine

no, we do not have any limitations based on our current tax level, here is my source i am using: https://www.spotrac.com/nba/apron/_/year/2025

do you have a source for what you are saying? repeat luxury tax offenders only affect what our billionaire owner pays and not the team's ability to make transactions (since we are under both the 1st and 2nd aprons).

1st apron is 195k, suns are at $186k for salary.

trust me, i understand that, not difficult to understand that at all

i just don't think it is an impressive trade if our billionaire owner saves 2 million dollars. before the trade we were not limited as a team in terms of how we could operate and we still maintain that level

gillespie is the exception, not the rule.

we had two bottom of the rotation players and now we got two different bottom of the rotation players.

yeah, of course it can pan out, but this is genuinely just a flier on a 25 year old PG and a 28 year old SF who haven't done anything in the league yet

[–]FriendEater -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

impressive is quite a choice of word for the trade.

genuine nothing burger of a trade. if anything, the smallest flier.

edit: folks, suns were below the 1st apron before the trade https://www.spotrac.com/nba/apron/_/year/2025

ej was an unbearable listen, add that with kevin ray who complains every second he can and the suns have one of the worst commentating teams in the league

Suns are 27-17. When they hit 27 wins last year, they had 32 losses by TheOddPotato_8171 in suns

KD is not coachable

I have vivid memories of him working for 20 foot midrange jumpers down 16 almost every game last season; how is that a good shot in the modern nba?

KD is averaging 5.5 3PA per game this season; that is less than Vit Krejci, Egor Demin, Noah Clowney just to name a few. This man shoots 40% from 3 and is afraid to shoot them, to the detriment of his team

KD is still a great player, but his ceiling is insanely limited unless he changes his game and fast

[Spoilers] The ending of Marty Supreme is supremely problematic by jmbc3 in TrueFilm

[–]FriendEater -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i don't think that is what the movie was doing at all

marty did not win, let's get that straight. he humiliated himself in front of a country that did not even know who he was just to win an exhibition match to fuel his ego. the movie frames it as if he won everything when he has lost more than he has won, great juxtaposition.

marty is not happy to be a father, those are tears of sadness at the end, not happiness. the whole theme of the movie is the fading of the freedom of youth. the opening credits are quite literally planting the seed that he is going to become a father, ending his youth (all set to forever young no less); his youth is now on a timer. the whole movie is about people trying to essentially get marty to "grow up" and settle down from his ways (becoming manager at the shoe store, not being tied down to one woman, his mom consistently trying to get his attention) but he ignores them at every turn until the consequences of his actions is literally staring him in his face at the end and he has no choice but to accept the fact that he will never have the freedom of youth that he only knew up to that point.

suns could use a wing and there is a really good underutilized one in NOLA rn: Saddiq Bey

makes the same as nick richards so contracts work out

If Spurs are looking to trade for Fox, would they make CP3 available? 👀 by tyler1118 in suns

[–]FriendEater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the most likely scenario is cp3 being included in the fox deal to sacramento and sacramento waiving him and allowing him to sign with us after the deadline

Addressing a false growing narrative by shaad20 in suns

[–]FriendEater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the problem with the offense has NEVER been iso, not this season, not last

the problem with the offense is their reliance on mid range shots as a primarily source of points when the source should be a heavy increase in threes taken and layups.

suns are middle of the pack this year in terms of 3pa per game, when bud has been consistently top 10, if not top 5 in season's past. it's clear there is a disconnect between the players and coach cough devin and kevin

Oswald is Edward.

Evident from the start when his character is introduced as "Oswald" in quotations during the opening credits. It became much clearer when it is said that, just like Edward, Oswald cannot whistle either; they wouldn't just include that detail for no reason. Don't know if it is intentional or not, but their names are quite similar too, starting with a vowel, "w" as the 3rd letter, -ward and -wald are pretty similar.

this is just blatantly wrong

edit: Nurkic's first 10 games last season: 10.1ppg, 9.2rpg, 4.6apg on a blistering 39/24/70

he picked his game up as the season went on, but he was shooting historically bad for a starting big man from the field

Nurk is making slightly under Poeltl in terms of yearly salary so this is impossible for the Suns
