Re: Geography

Planning to do one more semester there (Spring 2015) before I try to find a job in the US -- if you're in HK during that time, we can certainly try to catch a game together! I will have Int'l League Pass.

Probably not going up to Beijing anytime soon, although I'd love to visit.

Re: Geography

Hell yeah. I'm in and out of SF through Christmas, and then will be in AZ most likely through late January before heading back to HK.

Not just that, but he seemed in control of the ballgame, shitty big men or not. The Suns might have ended up getting a bargain on that 5-year deal.

Re: Steve Nash out for season

Wow, if you look back at that contract/trade now, we absolutely fleeced the Lakers. Four, **4**, draft picks for a guy who was 38 years old and then played essentially one full season's worth of games for them in 3 years? They got massacred. I love it. That was Steve's last great assist to our team...

Re: Phxsuns.net is dead, long live phx-suns.net!

My issue with Cubby is that he just made things so unpleasant that he started to drive people away. Like me, for instance. One issue was the spam, like the posting of tens, or even hundreds of threads just to drown out conversation. It's along the same principles as a DDOS attack on a website. But t...

Mori -- thanks again for resurrecting the community. We don't have everyone here, but IIRC we seem to have most of the old crowd here.

It's good to hang here with you, Swingy, Cap and the rest of the crew.

Re: Phoenix Suns 2014-2015 Season Expectations

I think if there's a trade to be made, it'll be something like 2 or 3 for 1, with Ennis, Green and Tolliver the most likely to go first - something's got to give in that backcourt and any trade will likely be for a 4, IMO. Who that 4 is, I have no idea. I don't think Warren needs d league. He is pu...

Re: Divvying Up the Minutes

Many of the young guards will spend a LOT of time in Bakersfield. No other way to put it. IMHO, I can also see the Suns dealing Tucker if Warren is making progress in the d-league. For a good 3-and-D player, his contract is very reasonable. If Colangelo was still in charge, I'd say he's gone for sur...

Re: Eric Bledsoe agrees to 5 year, 70 Million Contract Exten

Five days before players' official reporting day, Bledsoe signed his first major contract with an average salary of $14 million a year, a midpoint between the average salaries of the Suns' initial four-year, $48 million offer and Bledsoe's five-year, $80 million vision. He will make $13 million thi...

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

I wasn't sure what to think of the contract at first, but I think I like it. Hear me out. What is Bledsoe's trade value at 14mm/year? Not all that great. However, I suspect that the contract will be front-loaded, at the max this year but declining every year afterwards. Assuming that this is the con...

Just beat me to it. Let's see what comes out of it. I suspect that they'll sign Bledsoe and auction him off to the highest bidder once he's locked in.

I wonder if the league is taking this too far. Levenson went no further than something that is done by many businesses, segment the population and target the highest revenue-yielding group. Indeed, he even called out the racist attitudes of his target audience. I do not believe that private business...
