Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News
I saw Bill Walton attend a few U of A basketball games during the era when his son was playing there (I was also going to U of A at the time!). He went in the normal gate and entrance like everybody else, frequently getting recognized and chatted up the other fans. He was kind, patient, and friendl...

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
Van was sort of the Dan Majerle of his day - very popular with the fans, a hard-nosed player who was a borderline All-Star at his peak. I think the main confusion is the assumption that the expansion draft took place before the college draft. It did take place 2 days before rounds 2-12 on (May 4th &...

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
lol I was gonna say….. why are we questioning our official NBA lexicon. Solid work Bobster!

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
Interesting…weird bbref has it listed the way they do. I guess maybe “Original Sun” has more to do with just being the best player on that initial team..or he did score the first 2 points. No one knows Gary Gregor, gotta twist the facts a tiny bit to make it someone fans care about. I'm sure it has...

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
I wonder if we're going to get the G-League Ignite players that are still under contract, or how they're going to set up the initial players for the Valley Suns? The original Suns, I believe, got to pick from a pool of players that were made available from the other teams at the time. Each team cou...

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News
Well, having Allen back will help, but I pretty much agree that I don't expect improvement from the others, except perhaps Bol. Gordon, Okogie, Eubanks and O'Neale are what they are.

Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach
With all the pick swaps in the future they may have to go the Larry Nance route where they trade a star for multiple rotation players.
