If, as my pal Paul Flannery used to say, the best time you can have in the NBA is right before you get good, maybe the second-best time you can have is when, after being very unfun, you start to rediscover a spark of joy. That’s where the Suns are right now. And that ain’t nothing.

Really sums up why we should be cheering on Book and the Suns in this move. The Valley is a melting pot of out of towners. It is quick build and easily dispensable architecture. Boom and bust. Devin is our guy, “homegrown” and he’s in it for the long haul.
Wanted to take my time with this one. I wrote about Devin Booker's contract extension, the obnoxious reactions to it, and why, despite some understandable concerns, we're missing the forest for the trees when titles are all that matter:
Devin Booker contract extension: Addressing Suns' big move
The Phoenix Suns' latest Devin Booker contract extension resulted in some obnoxious reactions, and they need to be addressed.

Just noting - Trump is bragging about decorating the Oval Office in gold while telling America's kids to cut down on buying toys.
Trump to Carney: "You see the new and improved Oval Office. As it becomes more and more beautiful with love and 24 karat gold. That always helps too."

Interesting! I am a no music at work kind of guy. And loved the third floor at NAU’s Cline Library!
In the cogsci discussions I have with students I get asked this a lot.

Oso was a +39 tonight 🤩
The highest plus/minus in a game by any Suns rookie since at least 1996-97!

Am I the only one uncomfortable with government leaders citing the president’s “Truth,” as in the post made on Truth Social?
I.E. “As was stated in the president’s truth, ‘_______.’”
