An uncovered Royce O’Neale tweet from 2011 hilariously had Suns fans convinced he’s a perfect fit in Phoenix

The NBA trade deadline as a whole didn’t see star players make a move, but the Phoenix Suns did add some depth in acquiring Royce O’Neale in a three-team deal with the Grizzlies and Nets.

It turns out that O’Neale is going to fit in just fine with the fellas.

When Devin Booker broke out as a franchise star for the Suns, fans inevitably dove into Booker’s Twitter/X account where they found some delightfully uneventful tweets from his high school days. Back in 2012, Booker tweeted that he was “thinking Hooters tonight with the fellas.” And the rest was history.

Fast forward to Thursday’s trade, and O’Neale was on the same page with Booker back in 2011.

Of course, Suns fans had to check if O’Neale had ever tweeted about Hooters. And they must have been so pumped to see that he in fact did. Suns fans were quick to celebrate the trade based on that tweet alone.

This was how Twitter reacted

Talk about a perfect culture fit for the team.
