Wondering why you would think this. I like Cam, but he is never going to be a star. He is a lethal 3-point threat, an average defender, and injury prone. I was all about moving on from Cam, but Bridges stings a bit. Loved that guy.

Think he means Thomas not Johnson.

There was and will not be a hiring of Isiah Thomas. If it isn't reported by WOJ, don't believe it.

Isiah Thomas not joining Phoenix Suns under Mat Ishbia despite report

Mat Ishbia will not be giving former New York Knicks president of basketball operations Isiah Thomas a role in the Suns' front office.

Did that get squashed after the reaction maybe?

Yea. After I sent that, I thought the same thing. I haven't gotten through my first cup of coffee and still spinning from the Durant trade. My bad.

It might have had something to do with it. Of course, Ishbias's team says nothing of the sort. Even if he was planning on hiring Isiah, it's kind of refreshing he is actually listening to the fans.

I wish Bidwill would do that shit. Although if Bidwill listened, he would sell the Cardinals.

Getting tough to keep track of all these guys lol. The two of the last 3 Lakers games had duplicates; a 0 and a 00 on the Pacers, then Jaylin and Jalen Williams on OKC....enough already!

Congrats….scary shit, these Suns.

Either way, ideal outcome for the Suns IMO.

Uh kay, what'd I miss? Who got traded...?

 

[shopson67]

I think they start by aiming higher (Bridges should be unavailable) with Cam Johnson (also likely unavailable), DFS, Crowder then settle downwards to O'Neale? Watanabe would be interesting to pair with Rui demographically, but only makes $2M. Maybe a 2 player package including Watanabe?

Of course, they could still be pursuing Trent Jr, or Bog, or Hield, or Ross....or?

Are you being serious?

Nets made another minor move, getting rid of an injured guy.

Dude, I live in Gilbert and I just found out 30 minutes ago.

Two of ‘em…lol

The Cam that was already on the Nets. Not yours

Yes, but in my defense I just woke up...

We did a good deal!!!!

 

[Black Adam]

Ah, KD. Thanks, people...

This arms race is crazy out West.

Lakers and Suns rise.

Jazz fall, Dallas can get BUCKETS, Clippers, Kings, Griz, Blazers are stuck in the mud and might not land upgrades.

Teams better beat the Suns as often as possible while Durant is still out.

If not, they are finishing top 3.

Kings, Clippers, Mavs, Blazers, Pelicans, Wolves could all be first round outs…if they even make it.

Thunder are right there and I’m not off the Dubs wagon.

 

[shopson67]

Ah, KD. Thanks, people...

I sincerely thought you were being joking, lol.

 

[WiggyRuss]

well- that will certainly wipe the Jazz/Lakers/Twolves deal off the front pages.....

Wow....

Happy Durant is out of the East. Nets are obviously done.

Cavs just might be able to get that #4 seed now.......I would say the competition is the Heat and the Knicks--- with a small 4 game cushion on top of both with, obviously, tons and tons of time to go.
