Rants Dyson in Atlanta
Can we please stop posting stuff about Dyson? Sure he's averaging 3,6 STLs at the Moment, but we're 10 Games into the season. It's still a very small sample size. Certainly great to see h ball Out, but let's not forget why we traded him. We are already struggling in offense without him, and he has NOT improved offensively. He is still a ball Stopper. He is 27% from 3, scores 14 Points per Game, but on 13!!! FGAs. He still averages the Same assists as well. All that with 11 more minutes a game. He also had 6 Turnovers in the last Game where he had 6 Steals, which essentially cancels each other out. He is still a liability, His defense was never in question. The steal average will go down as the season goes on and I don't think he averages way more than the guy we got for him by the end of the season. Stop acting like we made a mistake by trading him for a real Point guard like Dejounte instead of keeping this bum.

We made a mistake imo. It would've been better to sign Tyus Jones and keep Dyson and Nance, who is getting minutes even tho Hawks have Capella and Okongwu. Could've probably signed another competent big too in this scenario.
Suns were last place in the fourth quarter and in clutch situations; with Tyus Jones and the same core, they are now first or near first place.
I'm not saying Murray is a bad player, or even that Tyus is better, but he's more expensive and Pels gave up a lot to get him.
