That be a hell of a coincidence.
I remember the Suns from 2021, a 25 years old young star, young promising players in Bridges and Ayton and HOF PG, an owner that fans hated. Decent coach and GM too.
Only for the new owner has destroyed all that with new strategy and they are more of a laughing stock now.
Sometimes the old bad owner has enough experience to keep something that works (Cuban himself did that) while a new owner is eager to leave his mark and oroof his genius.
I am not saying that this is what will happen, but I am not ready to celebrate yet.
Maybe the sample size is too small to say Nico/Kidd have figured it all out, but I´ll give them a pass for all the dumb early sh*t like McGee and assume with Lindsay in board, Nico in full command and no Cuban in the food chain such idiotic decisions won´t happen again.
We find a way to turn THJ + picks into Sexton, re-sign DJJ and maybe Powell for Jalen Smith as the stretch big, we are comfortably done with the summer. The benefits of not doing dumb sh*t all the time, is that small steps can have a big impact.
Doncic/Hardy/Exum
Irving/Sexton/Hardy
DJJ/Green/Lawson
Washington/Smith/OMax
Lively/Gafford/Kleber
That might be the deepest team in the league.
