Remember how he wanted no excuses in 2021 when AD went down (because otherwise they get bounced in the first round lol). Wonder what he has to say now. Gets owned year after year by true superstars

Why is Jokic so mean towards Doncices Sons? I thought they're buddies

Suns have
KD
Booker
Paul
Ayton
And a bunch of end of the bench guys. Payne might be their most playable "other", and guys like Okogie, Shamet, Craig I think get DNPs or few minutes a game in other remaining teams.
So i guess they gotta find 2-3 great signings for the minimum salary, guys that can give you 15-20 strong playoff minutes. And then trade Ayton, to maximize their chances in the KD window. If his value is low they are doomed. But if they can get 2 good players, they can make something.
Then there is Paul who looks finished. His 23-24 salary is partially guaranteed at 15M, and his 24-25 salary is not guaranteed. I guess they have no choice but to guarantee atleast his first year, and if it doesn't work out he's basically a 30M expiring at the deadline (if a team won't guarantee his 2nd year). So that could have some value.
It looks like a difficult situation at the moment, but they can retool quickly with trades for Ayton and Paul, and be back for another trashing in the next playoffs
