    He's an acquired taste. No question. He still might be, a bit better overall than Hayes though.

    I think he burned his Lakers lifeline, with that unnecessary flagrant foul on Lebron, in like the 2nd game of the season, while he was in Houston. Cheap, very petty shot.

    Boogie has always been a complete j******. When he played for LeFlore high school they came to play in a tournament my high school hosted and all of the coaches/staff said he was a complete piece of s*** to everyone. It was the same thing at Kentucky and Sacramento. I think the injuries humbled him a little bit, but at that point the talent no longer outweighed everyone f***ing hating him.

    Vet minimum …. as predicted by “almost” ALL of us when his sorry a** got traded out of here, once his superstar contract ended.

    It’s been hilarious reading comments from Nuggets fans on the Reddit thread about their Westbrook signing trying to downplay the player option

    Maybe Rob is just early to the party in learning the lesson for why player options on minimum contracts is more restrictive in the apron era :D

    What is Suns culture ?
    There's Miami culture and I am pretty sure it's also a Charlotte or Atlanta ones .It looks like ,Lakers 17 times NBA champions only team in entire NBA that doesn't have any culture :Noddingyes:

    yeah, that one stings. we couldn't unload either of our guards to be able to offer him the same kind of role at probably slightly more money.

    but also, yes, lol at "suns culture". you have to be kidding me.

    this leaves fultz, dsj, and THT as the most noteworthy guards left out there, right?

    we don't really need guards. wish there was a pool of centers analogous to that one.

    Even if we don't need the player, seeing other contending teams get players to take pay cuts to play for the min while we're stuck rostering minimum players who are borderline NBA level talent. That's rough.

    Tyus for the min is an insane pickup.
    Luckily I don't think it solves the defensive problems of Phoenix but it's always good to add that amount of talent

    Really bad offseasons for Trent and Tyus, hope next offseason is better for them, they deserve more than they got
