As a leader, this how you’re supposed to be. You can either be frustrated or positive. I’m sure he’s focused on making roster better.

His version of a "better" roster is what we are all afraid of...

Mat Ishbia, I have watched your conference, and it has really inspired me, no excuses and you are so positive. I love the #Suns, #KD fan here in Uganda. Mat Ishbia please send me a ticket I come watch a sun home game in future. I know you won't read this, please the person in charge of this page, make a wish for me, show this comment to Ishbia or KD. Thank you.

A master of deflection. Just because the key ignition is turning doesn't mean the car will eventually start. Makes a good sounding noise and that's about it.

Awesome owner. He will bring a ring to this club and city. Hopefully the fans shape up so we can deserve it. Go Suns!

[@2Ez-wf7nv]

That’s a fucking winner ! I think we just need to stop hearing all the narratives around the team and actually just focus and support the team ! Regardless and we will win .

This guy sold your whole teams future for mid 30’s kevin durant and brad beal😂 team is fucked for a decade

[@juancarloscorral2746]

People always complaining smh , sheesh after one year people, some suns fans are stupid, we had a fresh new team & fresh new coach system, unbelievable, it takes time to build a championship

[@FunwiththeCoopers]

Vogel ain't the right coach for this team tho. Monty Williams should be given 1 more yr with his line up.

[@doublez_]

@@FunwiththeCoopersit’s the roster. And the team wasn’t fresh. There’s nothing fresh about a big 3 getting swept in the 1st round

[@86puffpuff86]

Keep the same energy when we’re just as bad next season

[@FunwiththeCoopers]

@doublez_ his not the right coach for this roster you just make my point valid. If your blaming the roster

[@doublez_]

@@FunwiththeCoopers If im blaming the roster im blaming the guy who put this team together. Not the coach. The coach is supposedly defensive minded yet all 3 are known as weaknesses on defense. Kd’s complains are the same he had with Nash. And when they fired Nash, he didn’t bother to stick with Vaughn. Monty is probably the best coach he’s had post GS and he didn’t. Other sticking up for him when they lost Dallas

[@JordonL480]

I don't care what anyone says, this is a good time to be a Suns fan after the Sarver era.

[@Daniel-le3gl]

Revisit this comment after next season and let’s see if you still feel this way after Durant and/or Booker request a trade and we’re building around Bradley Beal and Drew Eubanks with no future.

[@baldeagle4710]

He made a horrible decision in bringing in Bradley Beal, who has a no trade clause. Suns are in a lot of trouble

[@FerDeath]

Glad somebody asked about the PG but somebody should went straight to asking about the C. Our best C is Nurkic and he was straight ass in playoffs, literally unplayable. Sorry Matt but with Nurkic/Eubanks we are not winning anything.

[@Michael27Romero]

Should’ve kept ayton

[@1017_CK]

Im not a suns fan but this guy needs to be held accountable. He ruined a teams future in a matter of months because he wanted to bring in mid 30’s KD and beal (who is on the worst contract in the nba). This guy screwed your team for a decade probably. I feel bad.

[@parkerC1990s]

Dude says he’s gonna trade away all the picks 😂😂😂😂😂 And own the team for the next 50 YEARS!

[@rfrank0505]

He traded all their picks and they literally can’t improve their team for another 4 to 5 years lmfao

[@coppertom1967]

Pretty sick of hearing "we won 49 games". How about the fact that this team looked absolutely clueless all year. 100% obvious they quit on Vogel. I would be more impressed if Ishbia would just come out and say " damn. We have a lot of issues" instead of trying to blow sunshine up everyone's ass.

[@isaacfontes2494]

He said in the interview that he will be talking to gm the players the hc and see what's next what they will do to move forward to not make the mistakes we made I feel someone will be getting fired James Jones and booker might have word with kd in getting frank fired will see what happens

[@isaacfontes2494]

My opinion if they don't fire frank they should get a real point guard and trade Bradley Beal and hire some new Assistant coaches with better players for the Bench it's a mess but this new owner is a rookie at this so it is gonna take some time I don't want to see kd go any where so make him happy

[@kingsoindabuildin8036]

Crazy how they somehow won 49 games for a coach they quit on lol

[@scottshomo2205]

Get rid of a team built from the ground up and trade it all away for two injury prone players who aren't what they once were. Past their primes. Ishbia knows basketball but screwed up badly breaking the team up like he did and screwing the suns on draft picks. I believe the word cocky and thinking you can step in and make some moves to be seen as a hero in Phoenix is the proper term for him so far. Phoenix you better hope the basketball gods can help you with this guy and humble him fast.

[@jasonramoz6384]

For the love of god start Bol at the 4 and KD at the 3 so they can both eat!!!

[@ohhchawles910]

learn how to build a team over the mid to long term, not just throw in all the chips for 1 season.... thought you were an elite business man, what would happen to your business if you only planned year by year instead of looking at the long term

[@KhabirBey]

I Couldn’t Watch Any Suns Games Besides The SWEEP Because Of BLACKOUTS!!!! And I Live In PHOENIX!! How/Why TF Do You Blackout Games?!?!

[@UnknownFilipino]

Sigh.... I appreciate his energy and optimism. But the fact remains, how are we gonna fix the roster? We have no draft picks for the next 6 years! I feel like the only way to do it is to trade KD because he's the only one with value we can trade.

[@ShawnMott]

They aren’t trading KD dude. That literally his first big move as owner. He just said, we have our starting 5 signed multiple years. Pump the brakes, they need a couple of pieces to complement but no overhauls to the roster. He also clearly stated that.

[@srdepr9186]

"trade KD" 😅 really hope you're a fan from some other team or something cause damn

[@FerDeath]

He literally said that the "we don't have draft picks" is a lie, it was at the beggining. We have 5 of the next 8.

[@stephenwalton9513]

5 first round picks in the next 8 years is so misleading when you fail to mention you control 2 - this year and the 2031 pick. '25, '27, '29 go to Brooklyn, and '26, '28, '30 are the least favorable of FOUR different teams, highly unlikely any of those are top 20. This year's draft is considered below average at best, and you're left with only a couple 2nd round picks as well. When you can't control your picks and you are limited by trades being over the "2nd apron", there's no options but signing vet minimums. Unfortunately this isn't a good direction for the Suns, and KD will not have another season like he did this year at age 35. Trade him now and retool.

[@kingsoindabuildin8036]

Love the way he set the record straight and addressed the false narratives 9f the bogus media

[@user-jc3kd7mp3q]

Phoenix suns matt ishbia I think if you look at your team if frank Vogel did his job as a coach you wouldn't have to fired him they stop listening to frank Vogel they was dead last in offense and defense than frank Vogel wasn't building a unit he just played the talent he had and he didn't make good adjustment so you can bring him back but you will regret it if you looking at the last job and now he should be fired and you development coaches need improvement I haven't seen any players get better under yall development team defense or offense you can tell how bad Devin booker been playing and when they ask frank Vogel what was the problem he didn't no the answer so please find a better coach that no what he doing and the best development team

[@florentlasry3978]

He is crazy...honestly he think he is in a excellent position to be champ next year ??? LOL The Suns was not able to win 1 game in playoffs... Durant is getting more older, Frank Vogel coaching was a desastor things, Bradley Beal was playing funny basketball. He need to react and be angry about what's happening for the suns! This is sad for the young star talent Devin Booker loosing in the way of the old guy without any competitivity Kevin Durant... The Phoenix Suns are over.

[@JSNHawks12]

This is by far the most delusional owner in all of basketball already out of cap space and has 3 players with a total salary of 150 mil just to get swept in the first round and can’t trade that bum Bradley Beal 😂 Trade KD and Nurkic for fucking depth and then maybe “run it back”
