Says a lot when the 1st string includes KAT, Wiggins and Teague. Shows you the team dynamic is well.......soft.

The fact that everyone remained silent while he was talking all that Shit does nothing to dispel that notion.

Wtf?

They were largely silent?

Lmfao

Man, too bad we don't have a NBA hardknocks.

Dude....the Clippers are 4-0 in the Pre Season.

It means Jack Shit.

Beating a squad fielding half of their starters s not a barometer for greatness.

Stop it.

Okay... thanks for putting words in my mouth. I never typed the word greatness or anything similar to that.

A team that plays Durant and Curry semi-major minutes, both astronomically more talented than anyone who played for the Suns that game, should at least win. Hell, our starting PG was basically a 6th man in the G-League last season.

I don’t give a shit if it’s preseason.

 

[The Derski]

Are dopes really starting to brag about records in preseason? Sportshoopla at its finest.

Yeah I’m really bragging about the suns 2-2 preseason record! I’m so stoked man!!

If the answer to this question is yes, you do the deal.

If it's no......




There aren’t too many contracts out there that have the value of Richardson’s deal. He’s in the first year of a four-year, $42 million extension he signed last offseason. That means Richardson is under a bargain contract for three more seasons after this one, and he’s making an average of $10.5 million in that time. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler is set to earn $20.4 million this season and will be looking to sign a five-year, $190 million extension with any team he’s traded to. That contract would come with a cap hit of $43 million in the final year of the deal, which is more than the entire value of Richardson’s four-year, $42 million extension. So yes, Butler is better than Richardson right now. But, how much better? Richardson will earn $42 million over the next four seasons, while Butler will make over $200 million over the next six seasons. Is the gap between Richardson and Butler that big?

Miami Heat mailbag: Is Josh Richardson too valuable to include in a trade?

If you look at it that way....
Then no.

Dude, for fans of teams like ours, Preseason is all we have until the next draft.

So, let the confetti and streamers drop from the rafters because you won a Preseason game against the Warriors without 3 of their starters.

It's pathetic.

But, it's your fandom.

Someone posted that it's hard to evaluate Ayton because it's the Preseason and you point out that they beat the Warriors when Curry and Durant played 25 minutes to dispute that notion.

Yeah, where in the world would anyone get the idea that you are bragging .....

I mentioned that Curry and Durant played because I doubt 90% of you watched the game and if you just saw the score most would assume their two best players didn’t play. They did. That’s all I was saying.

Man, and you guys beat us without Devin Booker too? Ya'll gonna smash us by 50 next time easy.

Probably.

 

[tlance]

I understand, the Suns did just beat the warriors and Durant and Curry played 25+ minutes each.

So, the Dubs got a combined 47 minutes from Curry, KD, Dray, Klay, Cousins, Livingston and Iggy.

And you think this is somehow meaningful?

 

[The Derski]

I get it. I’ll never ever bring up preseason basketball on a basketball forum. God forbid.

 

[The Derski]

Let’s keep making threads about LaMelo Ball. Those are so cool.

Curry and KD played. Their next 5 best players didn't.

Thanks.
