    the concern with williams was definitely what's playing out right now, imo--he's having a career year in his contract year. how much will phx have to pay him? what if he goes back to his health status before this year?

    but yeah, it's painful right now.

    He’s back playing for now, but what a STUPID court. How is this allowed in the NBA?

    That should not be allowed.

    Anyway, hobbled Luka had 29/5/6 on 60% shooting, 38% from 3, and only two turnovers. The rest of the team contributed almost nothing. You look at Rui's stats and you want to

    We really only have this summer to make significant changes. If Luka continues to have to carry us and we flush another season of his prime down the toilet, we could be looking at a trade demand from him. Next season has to be much better.

    It can’t really be done in a single offseason either. Either we make a move this deadline, or the next deadline or the offseason after this one.

    I’d prefer to do it sooner than later.

    lol, yeah, they need to rethink that. The financial consequences could far outweigh replacing that floor.

    there's college courts designed like that (still dumb).......but you can't have that s*** in the NBA

    someone on the heat tore an ACL on that same court last year i believe. league needs to do something about it

    Let's let the toddler play with the loaded firearm.

    Firearm goes off.

    We really need to discuss toddlers playing with loaded firearms.

    19 minutes in, he reached a triple double.



    He completely and utterly dominated them. Controlling every second he was out there. Just masterful work.

    Just imagine if he didn't have a bum ankle.



    Watch out Austin, Bron is butting in on your bromance
