ESPN's Brian Windhorst on
@AZSports
says the Celtics' trade offer to Brooklyn for Kevin Durant is likely weeks old:
"I don't think the Nets are involved in active talks right now. ... I know it came out today so it's front of mind, but those are not fresh talks."
The TV broadcast just showed Devin Booker on Facetime with someone as he walked off the court and through the tunnel. Surely that was Chris Paul losing his damn mind on the other end.

I too would like to talk about her outfit. Specifically, where did she get those pants and can someone please share the link?
Suns owner Mat Ishbia on
@AZSports
says he was not thinking about money when making additions at the deadline:
"No fan cares about the owner's luxury tax bill. No one cares about the money I spend. They care about winning, so that's all I care about, too."
Suns legend Al McCoy on
@AZSports
on physicality in the playoffs:
"Can I say two words to the Suns players this morning? Stop crying! This is the playoffs. This is for the big boys. When you think you're fouled, get out there & be aggressive. ... Just stop crying on every call."

@danbickley
just asked Al McCoy on
@AZSports
if he'll be back for a 51st season as the radio voice of the Suns.
McCoy, not wasting a second: "It's internal."
DAMN ๐คฃ
Still no fans allowed in this proposal, but teams would get to play in the familiar confines of their respective spring training facilities.

Shane Doan says on

that, maybe he's a "ridiculous optimist," but he doesn't think this is the end of hockey in Arizona, citing the "special" foundation laid over the past 28 years.
"Hockey will be back in the Valley."
The D-backs were the underdog in every round of the postseason:
- Swept the Brewers
- Swept the Dodgers
- KO'd the Phillies in G7
They reach the World Series with 84 reg-season wins, third-lowest in history behind โ73 Mets (82 wins), โ06 Cardinals (83 wins).

Growing up, I couldn't *stand* Kobe for how he absolutely dominated the Suns.
But post-NBA Kobe? He used his influence to advocate for the women's game on all levels โ including coaching up his daughter, Gigi โ and that's when I became a true fan. What an awful loss today.
Al McCoy on his final postgame show:
"I just want to say thank you for 51 wonderful years and for allowing me to bring the story of the Suns and the NBA to you. It's been a great ride."
Comparing Adia Barnes to Sean Miller has already become old and tired. Turning the attention to him means you have nothing else to add about the women's team and all they've accomplished, and that's a damn shame.
Stop making
@ArizonaWBB
a footnote in their own story.

will not complain about the difficulties of being a CFB coach today:
"I literally spent nine years of my life doing anything to become a coffee boy. So, don't give me the 'Oh, it's hard to be a coach right now.' Yeah, it's hard. Then quit."

@AZSports
on Devin Booker:
"He's the best. You've heard me say this many times ... If Book was in New York, Chicago or L.A., we'd be hearing so much about him as the great player he is. But he's in Phoenix. ... What a player and what a job he did last night."

In a 2021 interview with the New York Times, Kyler Murray said: "Iโm not one of those guys thatโs going to sit there and kill myself watching film."
2022 Kyler Murray is about to sit there and watch film:
Contracts are about give-and-take. One example from
#AZCardinals
QB Kyler Murrayโs $230.5M contract: There is an addendum that requires 4 hours of โindependent studyโ per game week. It was important to the team making a commitment at that level, thus it was important to Murray.
Grayson Allen says on
@AZSports
that he doesn't want to think too much about free agency or re-signing right now, but he loves Phoenix, the team and how he's been embraced by the Suns' fan base:
"I love everything about Phoenix."

now:
"If something happens that drastically improves our team, I'll look at it. Otherwise, I built this team in the offseason to have depth so we wouldn't have to rely on trades or the deadline to give us a jolt."

"All the hard work I put in, it's finally showing 'cause I never gave up. I always kept trying to get back in the league and now I'm making some of the biggest impact I've ever made in my life. It's unbelievable."
This game had everything!
Kyler Murray magic!

Missed field goals that don't hurt the Cardinals for once!

"They threw a parade that the Cardinals hired Jonathan Gannon here. It wasn't the Super Bowl parade, it was the Jonathan Gannon's out of town parade. He was not the most popular figure in Philadelphia."
