  • Trae Young and the Restless
    Aug 23 2025

    In this episode of ColdPickleNachos:

    We give our thoughts on the Trae Young rumors and how he'd fit on the Phoenix Suns. Do we desperately want a Young trade, or do we think it's a bad idea? Make sure to listen for at least five minutes before you weigh in on that.

    We also plant our flags on the Suns players we think will exceed expectations this year, cover the ins and outs of the schedule release, give our very brief thoughts on the assistant coaching hires, and share our very not-so-brief thoughts on video game Kevin Durant.

  • The One That Got Away?
    Aug 4 2025

    In This Episode:

    We determine if point guards actually even exist anymore as we try to determine how screwed the Suns are by not really having one.

    We debate whether Khaman Maluach was worth passing up a shot at one of the 2026 draft superstars. We also discuss the latest reports in regards to the Suns' interest in Jonathan Kuminga.

    Finally, we either go in-depth on the Marcus Morris fraud story and laugh and laugh, or cover the recent additions of Jordan Goodwin and Jared Butler to the roster. Which was it? You'll have to listen to know for sure!

  • Peace
    Jul 21 2025

    In this episode of ColdPickleNachos:

    We dissect the madness that occurred on Planet Orange after Bradley Beal said peace out to the Suns organization and the whole league laughed.

    We analyze the Kuminga rumors by asking "Could we do it?" and "Should we do it?"

    We also give our final thoughts on Summer League and ask the all-important question: "Who pissed Ryan off more when leaving the Suns? Kevin Durant or Antonio McDyess?"

  • Koby!
    Jul 13 2025

    In this episode of ColdPickle Nachos:

    We try to put Koby Brea's Summer League performance in perspective by discussing his place in the future NBA Hall of Fame pantheon (and land somewhere between Klay Thompson and Steph Curry).

    We cover the first game of Summer League, and break down what we liked most about the Summer Suns commanding win over the Wizards regular season roster.

    And we cover a wide variety of other Suns topics, from the impending Beal buyout to the big Booker extension. You can also expect our thoughts on Nigel Hayes-Davis, the Suns 2-way players, and Daeqwon Plowden's historic run with the Suns, as well as a fun guessing game about the point guards and combo guards the Suns may sign next.

  • Size Matters
    Jun 27 2025

    There's finally optimism in ColdPickleNachosLand!

    In this episode:

    We rave about the many exciting additions the Suns made to their roster during the draft and give our thoughts on all the newest members of the Phoenix Suns roster.

    We play Guess Who, were Logan provides a bunch of fun facts about our newest players and Ryan has to guess who they apply to

    And we go over all of the holdovers from last year, giving our best guesses on how they'll fit in (or not) with next year's team. We even have a bonus trade idea to round out the offseason moves!

  • Well, Shoot(ing Guards)!
    Jun 24 2025

    In this episode:

    We react to the big Kevin Durant trade like with anger and outrage (but, you know...in a dignified way).

    We force ourselves to play a game called Spin Doctors, where we go back and forth listing all the positives of the trade package that came back to the Suns, ultimately deciding that Jalen Green is clearly better than Michael Jordan in his prime.

    We break down our favorite and least favorite prospects for the Suns in the upcoming draft.

    And we throw a little hate back at the online KD stans, which made us feel much, much better about everything.

  • Coming Up Short Like Desmond Bane's Arms?
    Jun 17 2025

    In this episode of ColdPickle Nachos:

    We break down all the KD rumors and try to make sense of which teams are serious, and which teams are seriously annoying.

    We outline what we need to feel good about a KD return package, and which options will have us feeling like we're navigating the ravaged streets of a dystopian future (that probably broke out when Rudy Gobert did something dumb).

    And, of course, we play a fun little game about NBA wingspans. Because not everything has to be about Kevin Durant all the time, okay?

  • A Riveting Discussion of Our Favorite Book
    Jun 11 2025

    In this episode:

    We have a positive take on a Phoenix Suns press conference?

    We play "Book Report", a game that unearths some incredible and not so credible facts about the one-and-only Devin Armani Booker. Then, we break down if we should pay him all the money or trade him now while his value is high.

    We break down recent rumors and take a closer look at what San Antonio could offer in a Kevin Durant trade.

    And we congratulate Matt Ishbia on his crowning achievement of not being Vivek Ranadivé.
