what's up with Ayton always bailing on his team in the playoffs? I dunno what the Suns will be able to get for Ayton in trade, they have to be done with Deandre Ayton experience.

CP3's under contract 2 more seasons, but it's only half guaranteed 2023-2024 and non-guaranteed the next season. So should be possible to find some franchise looking to take on a salary dump to trade CP3 to as a (sorta) expiring. I dunno if it's the new CBA rules for salary cap or what, but the Rockets are the only team with much cap space currently for 2023-2024. Maybe reunite Paul with the Rockets and he can coach up some of the Rockets young guys for a season before they cut his non-guaranteed year. Although the Harden back to Houston rumors could block that too. I guess if Harden goes back to Houston maybe CP3 takes his spot with the SIxers?


If the Suns can somehow move off of Paul and Ayton's salaries they would just get down to the non-luxury tax cap. Not sure how much over the cap teams can be going forward. But I assume this new Suns owner would look to max out the Suns salary cap and pay whatever luxury tax (a la the Clippers owner, who has to be mad pissed right about now about what he's spent for fuck all) to get some help for KD and Booker.

Denver went on a 17-0 run in less than 3 minutes late in the 1st quarter as soon as KD checked out. The Suns have no depth. That's on GM James Jones. Monty is going to get fired for his questionable rotations and coaching going back the last 3 playoff appearances.

This was a team that was up 7 points late in the 3rd quarter in Game 2 when Chris Paul went down. The thing about Paul is that his contract was written up in a way where they can trade him and/or buy him out this offseason and get away with not much of a cap hit. Ayton likely will be traded. Nick Nurse is still available -- Budnenholzer is an AZ native. They'll figure this out. Isiah Thomas is hanging out courtside with the Suns owner. Changes will happen.


yea but does paul get a ring somewhere else? will he go to the warriors?


What about the Bulls? They seem to need a point guard.

The Wizards or Sixers (if Harden leaves) would make sense too.

Seems like the Bulls have been linked to Ayton in the past. The Mavericks might be in the mix as well. There will be a number of teams who believe they can incorporate him differently offensively than what Monty was doing.

They had Cam Payne starting at PG. You've seen him play. That dude looks like he snorts adderall before games.

Klay Thompson is doing all he can to help the Lakers. That shot was too early.

Joker vs LeFraud next round? I was hoping KD and Booker would pull off the comeback. Rather cheer for Durant and Booker than either Lebron or some eastern euro dude who doesn't even seem to like basketball; which I guess is kind of funny; Jokic is super good at the game but would rather be harness racing. At least Butler's still in it.


Lakers win the title and Westbrook gets his ring, ditto for Pat Bev.

I can't imagine the Lakers beating them 4 times.

So many punchable faces/feces in the court side seats.

Klay Thompson is trash.

Keeps shooting bricks when they mount a comeback.

Who will win denver or lakers?

I'm sure NBA will do their best to get a Celtics/Lakers finals.

as long as the Lakers can keep AD on the floor and avoid having to double Jokic, they'll win in 5. But more likely they'll let the Nuggets win game 5 as they did Memphis/Golden State and finish em off in Game 6 back at Staples Center.

Denver's roster probably the deepest left in the playoffs, in terms of playable guys. But their main 3 are 3 of the worst defenders left in the playoffs
