Why does doing a favor for LeBron get KD to us?

That is what I was trying to figure out.

I just don't think Ariza is going to be a trade asset. The way these things work is that the player holds out and asks for a buyout. Then we buy him out for, say, 2/3 or 1/2 of his salary to go away, then the next day he signs with the Lakers or 76ers or whomever. Tyson Chicken is a good example of...

Who had TJ as our next 50/40/90 guy after Steve, and not Booker?

I think Devin's too much of a volume scorer to ever go 50/40/90.

Then his value is limited. Efficiency is more important than volume scoring.

I think the 50-40-90 club is underrated. The guys on that list are indisputably the greatest shooters in NBA history. It's almost unbelievable that Nash made the list in 4 different seasons. Nash would have hit it in 5 seasons straight but he shot--no lie-- 89.9% from FT in 2006-2007. Ironically th...

They just said on the radio that there are only two players averaging 50-45-90 so far this season.

Steph Curry and TJ Warren.

Try this:

That is the least awkward I have ever seen McD. He still did not answer the point guard question. McD is getting paid to do nothing right now. He is relaxed and kinda loving life for a moment.

Like father, like son:

Nah. That kid is much more mobile than his dad was. Much more.

His frame reminds me of Giannis a little--all arms and legs.

I even expected to go 1-6 over the first 7 games. What was disconcerting was not even being competitive in most of those games. Losing...

Great to see a win! It has been nearly 3 weeks! 1) Bridges is so fun to watch, on both ends of the floor. 2) Nobody on our team played more minutes in the 1st quarter than Ryan Anderson--why? 3) WTF are we doing with Ayton? Get him the damn ball and make sure it isn't 23 feet from the hoop 4) Ariza...

Yay, Suns with the win, Booker hits back to back big shots, while still only about 80%. Ayton played some good defense tonight. Bridges is going to start soon enough. At least the Suns have 3 core players right now. I hope TJ feels better soon. The bench got outplayed badly. I think the best soluti...

We shouldn't be playing this game, but how different would this team be with Murray/Markkanen or Fox/Sabonis?

I was a big Sabonis fan in that draft.

Funny thing is that the Suns fan wanted him as a pg. But Doncic as a pf would have been perfect alongside Ayton.

Okobo
Booker
Bridges
Warren
Ayton

That’s needs to be the starting 5 going forward.

100% agree.

What a draft. Three rookies in the starting line up?

Ayton is not an empty stats player. He just has a mess around him. Ariza and Anderson have both been horrible. They both need to be benched.

We need a better back up center. We need a better starting pg. We need a better starting pf.

Ariza has been very bad so far.

I am not optimistic about Bender, but I would pick up his option too. They need to see it through. He has no real trade value, but he truly has talent.

There is a long discussion on the RealGM Celtics board about Bender. They really want him and cannot wait for us to cast him aside. Interesting. Its about Bender and Jackson. They certainly think that Rozier is a high value trade piece. Starts about half way down the page and goes on for a while. ht...

I think it’s getting used to the new offense. They know what to do when outside shots are falling but were confused when they weren’t. And the GSW offense will turn any team in knots.

Bender does not deserve and extension, but I might extend him anyway. If Anderson was playing better, I might think differently.
