James Jones does not believe Suns players lost trust and/or buy-in with Frank Vogel. Said you could see the indecision from the players on the floor when things did not go well. "It's not about buy-in, it's about belief."

詹姆斯-琼斯不相信球员们对沃格尔失去了信心

James Jones says he believes no team has properly maximized Kevin Durant yet and they want to be the first team to do so. Called it a phenomenal offensive season for KD. Reiterated the Suns were not on the same page and ran out of time.

詹姆斯-琼斯说球队并没有最大化D的价值

"Not one discussion about my GM, my coach -- we're trading players now, supposedly, in the media. Not one discussion's even been had, let alone a decision being made." Mat Ishbia will meet with players, Frank Vogel and James Jones over the next 3 days to have those conversations
--
“我们甚至都还没有讨论GM、教练，连一个讨论都没有，就更别谈决定了；社交媒体上就开始报道我们正在交易球员”

James Jones said the Suns could benefit from having a point guard, but asked the million dollar question: "Who?" Mentioned a playmaker coming in would have to fit with the group, given their roster makeup and salary cap constraints, and then questioned who is then losing touches

詹姆斯-琼斯说太阳可以增加一名控卫，但考虑到球队阵容结构和工资帽限制，很难找到合适的

Mat Ishbia says only a few teams in the league would decline trading places with where the Suns are at in terms of their roster and assets.
--
同时他强调如果给其他球队和我们交换阵容和资产的机会，只有少数球队不愿意做

He added that he expects the starting five of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, Jusuf Nurkic and Grayson Allen will all be back. Multiple times, Ishbia said he loved the scrutiny the Suns have gotten for falling well short of meeting the massive expectations of the 2023-24 season, his first full year in charge.

他同时预计首发5人组全部会回来

Will have more on all that later tonight. It was a lot. (And as far as big-picture stuff, evaluating the coaching etc. Waiting for some clarity on that front before diving in and once that comes I'll have plenty more)

美国时间今晚过后会有更多消息

“We’re in a great position; not a good position, a great position” “If people don’t like that the owner and the GM and the CEO and the coach and the players are trying to win a championship every year, you’re not gonna like the Phoenix Suns” More from Mat Ishbia
--
“我们的处境很好，如果人们不喜欢老板、总经理、CEO、教练和球员每年都在努力赢得总冠军，你就不会喜欢菲尼克斯太阳队”

我命里犯什么，喜欢的球队，老板都有狂躁症一样

不不不我们只是不喜欢看管理层发癫

那到底谁在说谎呢？

拿把刀把沃格尔劈两半 问题解决了

伊什比亚这个人也得防着点，能说出今年沃格尔带的比去年蒙蒂好这种话，估计也是个顶级串子

总结:我tm没错！

总不能让他自己扇自己耳光吧

卧槽，我发现今年哈登很有可能又是c两场警告了

懂了，错的不是我们，是这个世界

Complications exist. Phoenix’s projected payroll for next season is $206 million with another $100-plus million in luxury tax. The starting five is scheduled to make $184 million alone. That doesn’t provide much roster flexibility but the Suns will have options. Ishbia pointed out that Phoenix has five first-round draft picks over the next eight years.
--
“我们还有5个选秀权可以嚯嚯！”

“Ask the other 29 GMs — 26 of them would trade their whole team for our whole team and our draft picks and everything as is,” Ishbia said. “The house is not on fire. We’re in a great position. It’s not hard to fix.”
--
“联盟至少26支球队得给我面子”

For any Suns fans hoping the team starts prioritizing drafting and youth development…don’t hold your breath on that one. While title contenders over the last decade like the Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs supplemented their established core with young talent drafted late in the first round, the Suns have largely shirked that aspect of team-building.

你日想继续交易选秀权（持续梭哈）的想法伊什比亚在总结会上就已经明说了

Their view is: If the whole point of draft picks is to land good players, why wait for a teenager to develop when they can trade him for an established vet that helps them win now?

“If fans like to look in the future and say, ‘Hey, I really like that 2031 draft pick, because maybe that seventh-grader is gonna be really good and we’re gonna draft them and one day he’s gonna be a player,’ you ain’t going to like the Phoenix Suns,” Ishbia said. “Because we’re gonna say, ‘Draft picks are to get great players.'”

Jones’ recent misfires in the draft — as well as how frequently the Suns’ trades involve draft capital — proved he shared that philosophy long before openly stating it on Wednesday.

“I’m not thinking about the seventh-grader in 2031,” Jones said. “We’re talking about elite players who want to win, saying, ‘How can we win today? How can we win tomorrow? How can we win the next 12 months?’ Devin’s not thinking about 2031. Kevin’s not thinking about 2031. Brad, Grayson [Allen], Royce [O’Neale], Eric Gordon, none of our guys are thinking about 2031. They’re thinking about, ‘We fell short of our goal this season. How do we run it back? How do we get better?’”

他的理念是：
如果选秀的全部目的是为了得到好的球员，那为什么还要等待一个年轻人的发展，特别是如果可以用签交易到一个成熟的球员，帮助太阳现在就赢球？而你日的笨蛋GM最近几年在选秀大会上的表现也佐证了这点

而詹姆斯-琼斯则附和到：
我也不会去考虑7年后的首轮，布克、D、比尔、阿伦等人也不会去想，我们想的是今天、明天、未来一年怎么赢球
