The Suns had a lineup of S.Lee-Washington-Okogie-Wainright-Landale on the floor which makes a combined total of $4.76mil.

The wild thing about these lineups is that they make me feel like this suns team was created with significantly more depth than any of us really gave credit for. Missing Paul, Booker, Johnson, Crowder, Ayton, and Shamet for significant stretches has stretched the depth to the point of breaking but with even half those guys back this roster is deeper than given credit for imo

You realize we are 3-9 in our last 12 games right? I mean that's great we pulled off an upset but let's not get carried away. LOL

All I see is 2-0 since the return of the J.

Yea I'm on the train

You're whiffing completely on the point. I'm saying the deep bench guys have been better than anyone gave credit for. No team in the nba missing 7 of their top 8 is going to be winning much of anything. I'm saying I think the end of the bench is better than what I thought it was and is a lot better than it was projected to be by a ton of folks.

Won 2/3 without Ayton and Booker.

No, you see, we've won two in a row against a bad team and a hurt team, it obviously mean everything is coming together and we've saved! These 3rd stringers will be all the depth we need for a chip!

Christ can you people let anyone be happy for 1 second? Literally just creating a straw man to get mad at

Which was the bad team and which was the hurt team? I can promise you that neither were missing 6 of their top 7 rotation players and 4 starters. Regardless of who the opponent is, in the NBA finding any path to victory vs any team without 6/7 top rotational guys is so much harder than you think. A bunch of two way contracts, minimum deals and 3rd string bottom of the bench guys winning any game is impressive

Seriously wtf. The nets had Kyrie and Ben Simmons healthy, they were literally only missing KD. We were out 5 guys including Book and CP3. Not to mention Cam Johnson was on a min restriction.
Last night the pacers were only missing Hali while we had 7 guys out. I understand that Hali is incredible but not enough to make up for 7 guys missing…
We’re probably going to get stomped tonight and people will come out the woodworks saying we need to fire JJ, Monty and tank the rest of the season

To put it into perspective, our starting lineup was...
- 3rd String Point Guard
- Missing CP3, Payne
- Starting Small Forward
- Missing Booker, Shamet; bringing in Lee off the bench for the 2nd unit
- 3rd String Power Forward (idk why Craig is listed as SF this year; he plays almost exclusively PF)
- Mikal moved to SG; Missing Cam J, Jae Crowder
- 4th String Power Forward
- Missing Cam J, Jae Crowder, moved Craig to SF
- 2nd String Center
- Missing DA

Dang, that is some perspective! It's more or less what I keep telling my 10 year-old superfan of a Suns fan who wants to tank for Wemby.

Yes if we just had a not ancient Chris Paul and this Mikal development and another wing (not pouty crowder) id be all in right now/ but alas we need more wings and more scoring.

U’re really delusional

I didn’t hear this opinion during our huge losing streak lol. They are all still bench players and we get blown out a lot without our starters. Winning two in a row is cool but I mean come on.

lolwut. Cmon now, this is some crazy Monday morning quarterbacking here. We strung together a few wins and all of the sudden we have depth, even tho everything, even when the roster was healthier, points to that not being the case.

You’re being downvoted because fans are happy we won, but you’re right. We also played a Pacers team without their best player.
We have talented bench players that fit their roles nicely and it’s good to see them step up!
5
Yeah, like, great that they won a few games and are playing above what’s expected, but one, these games are clearly not the norm with how our players have stepped up. Even DA and Mikal haven’t really stepped up all that much. Two: lord of these supposed deep role players won’t get much playing time come the playoffs. That’s if we even make them to begin with.

Mikal has developed a bit of an on-ball role which is nice to see.

Sarver's kind of lineup.

My mans Swish Wainwright needs some more tick

why do that when you can have Shamet and Ayton on the floor for $43 mil?
8
+crowder NOT on the floor for $53 mil
bismack biyombo + saben lee + a bag of chips (preferably salsa verde Doritos) = barely over $3 mil
not only is that package a better deal financially but let’s pretend money isn’t a factor I might choose that package over ayton shamet and crowder sitting on his ass at home straight up

We definitely won with a G league roster last night.

Broke boys

Makes one realize how disgustingly overpaid Ayton is

All I know is that a forgotten simple pleasure of the past has been reintroduced to me: going on other team's post game threads and laughing at how pissed they are that they lost to the shitty Suns. The Golden State one was amazing.

Trade ayton for fucks sake

and I am not joking when I say I would bet on that lineup to beat the lakers $150 million starting lineup. yea I just did the math their starting lineup = $148,998,186 just shy of 150m
that is the difference between that smug snake rob pelinka who cares more about his hair and wearing a designer suit and james jones who knows what the fuck he’s doin I take back what I said a month ago now we know he has been limited with moves. if jones can put a lineup like that together for 4 mil wait until we get some of these awful contracts off the books and let’s see what jones can cook up with an owner who isn’t a cheap piece of shit. very scary

Smh. U’re getting carried away cos we beat the pacers without Harliburton
