They need to build a statue of James Jones for this reason alone

That move never made sense to me.

Be thankful that Myles is such a reasonable man.

Shows you how professional Myles is. That should have tanked our relationship with him but I don’t remember hearing a peep from him.

Man, it made so much sense for the suns to just do a match and trade for Myles Turner plus whatever junk needed to be thrown around to make it even at the time. So happy that we never did that and none of that happened

Thinking of our journey, we got very lucky. I like KP. But this fell through, VO decided he wanted to leave and turned down the max deal with his injury- either one of those really hampers us. Carlisle trying to get Hali on the Mavs fell through before he came here. There’s a lot that could have gone very wrong. And instead it’s gone very right.

Tbh we would have celebrated DA, hali would have made him a 20/10 guy again. Thankfully that dint happen and we have spicy P here

Myles and Ayton had the same agent. Ayton got paid and Myles signed a team friendly extension. Phony from the get go. That’s my (conspiracy) theory anyway.

Man it was a sad day then but aren’t we so happy now!!!

The Pacers were never going to get Ayton. Phoenix just needed someone to sign him so they could match. And we did them that favor.
It was all worked out with the player, agents, and team.
I have no idea why the entire Indy media market has forgotten that.

In an alternate universe, there is a Pacers team led by Ayton and Mr feathery himself Oladipo.

I was cursing the Pacers for that move. Ayton wasn’t likely to live up to that contract and he darn sure wasn’t going to take us anywhere. The Suns bailed us out and I thank them for it.

I don’t remember the last time I was so happy
