Music to my ears and what is expected to be said
The Phoenix Suns are not interested in trading Devin Booker and want to continue building their franchise around him, per @MikeAScotto (Via @SiriusXMNBA )

The clamoring for this statement was evident following their loss to the Spurs on Monday night and I agreed with every notion of it so I highlighted that in my recent piece Check it out

One of the most encouraging Suns numbers so far 10 games in is the 135.4 offensive rating when Gillespie playing with Maluach (87 MIN). Still able to get the offensive going without Ighodaro. Dunn/Gillespie has a 14.0 net rating in 129 minutes (122 ORtg). The bench is benching.

1. Paolo Banchero, would fit the PF role perfectly and can be another inside scorer and a true second option, still young 23 (bday tmrw) hardest to get most likely 2. Darius Garland would be a nice secondary scorer and true play maker, still young 26, second hardest to get
Per @BleacherReport, the Phoenix Suns tabbed one of the "top landing spots" for: 💪 Domantas Sabonis 🧀 Anthony Davis ⛸ Darius Garland 👀 Paolo Banchero Which of these 4 would you like the Suns to go after MOST? & why?! 🤔

3. Domantas Sabonis Would address some rebounding concerns, could work well in double big lineups with Man Man, not the best defensively, don’t know how well of second option he’d be, not that expensive though 4. AD. the oldest but prob the cheapest, helps rebounding and scoring

Even after the second half performance if I’m the Suns I’d still try and get Darius Garland if I can Don’t know if the price will be too much but him and Booker next to each other would give you a secondary playmaker and scorer who is also young

Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen has sustained a non-displaced fracture in his right hand and will be sidelined for at least one month, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon.

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Johni Broome have agreed to a two-way deal, league sources told @hoopshype. The former SEC Player of the Year and consensus All-American was the 35th overall pick of the 2025 NBA Draft and spent last season with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Great win from the Suns in dominant fashion Back to back weeks where they get blown out in game 1 but win the second in the back to back in a commanding way Gotta make sure to keep momentum is in full swing against Charlotte on Thursday

Ryan Dunn not only is rebounding and doing the little things well but he’s been an active defender who has attacked the basket well and is hitting his threes Really a gem for this team who needs him at his best

Ball movement and looking for the extra pass is such a valuable trait of this bench unit

Luke Kennard is automatic

Collin makes it so easy for him, such an easy pass for an easy bucket late Collin was great with Oso and Mark last year and I feel will only make it easier for Khaman to thrive
Man man since getting switched to the bench unit looks so much more comfortable out there Love that switch from Ott so Maluach can learn this season & can’t wait to see him against some terrible front courts

Jordan Ott loved Jordan Goodwin's return. He had 18 points and six threes. "It's him every night. We talk about just his energy, and his general enthusiasm for life in basketball is always at a high level. And tonight, on top of it, he made shots, so he's definitely improved in that area. Feels like every time he moves his hands, it's going to go in." Q: @Amanda_Pflugrad

Jalen Green’s third quarter was better than his first stint Made some tough threes and almost had a poster on Lopez I like to see it
