Re: Ryan out as GM

Which again is odd to come to that conclusion after 3 preseason games without your franchise SG. Disagree. In my experience, fans underestimate the predictive value of preseason. One player can only do so much. These guys are trying to win. I said before preseason I expected a 38+ win team. I've ad...

Re: Ryan out as GM

My theory: McDonough had a lot of leeway going in to this summer to remake the roster by any means necessary as long as it yielded a competitive team. Now that the season has arrived and we don't have a PG, which was a massive need going in to the summer, AND there is no good PG trade on the horizo...

Re: Ryan out as GM

You have to think the odds that we'll be involved in that Butler deal has just gone up. The odds that we'll overpay for a PG have now gone way up. Gotta wonder if Sarver wasn't furious at the fact that no one was showing up to our games and simply wouldn't tolerate one more year of not competing, re...

Re: Game Day (Preseason): Breakers (0-0) @ Suns (0-1), Wed 10/03/18

Oh, and one other thing about the closeness of this game. As it got closer and closer, Kokoskov didn't flinch. He stayed with the young guys. No bringing Ariza back to calm things down. He didn't bench Bender. He used it as a teaching moment. I liked that. The W/L doesn't matter. I do wonder why he...

Re: Game Day (Preseason): Breakers (0-0) @ Suns (0-1), Wed 10/03/18

Ulis was significantly worse than Canaan and Shaq last year. Ulis might have been the worst player in the NBA getting regular minutes. We'd be in the same mess with him on the roster. I do think we need a trade. I'd be willing to take on Teague or Dragic as long as we can get close on 2019 salaries...

I think his size was definitely a factor. There's only so much he can make up for with IQ and he wasn't a knockdown shooter either. Also, and this is just speculation, maybe the FO didn't like the Ulis and Booker being so close? Either way, we need a competent guard soon. It'll make the game that m...

Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason

Another thought on the PG situation. If I'm right and teams like NOP and/or POR struggle, Jrue Holiday or even Damian Lillard might become available. If the Heat don't land Butler and struggle, maybe Dragic becomes available. A lot of quality point guards are slotted to become free agents next summe...

Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason

Doncic's fat is his singular advantage. Kinda like Harden and Barkley with their wide bodies. Allows them to protect the ball better, handle it looser, push others off. Don't have to hate on Doncic to feel good about Ayton. I expect both to be great. I expect this whole class to be great, actually.

Re: 2018 Suns Offseason News

How do they figure that PG depth chart? Pulling names out of a hat? Probably.. I don't think any of us really have a clue. I'd lean towards one of the "vets" starting on opening night (Canaan or Harrison) but would it be that big of a surprise for Melton or Okobo to win the job? I’m not s...

NBATV is doing a 30minute Suns Team Preview in an hour. Pretty sure they'll show it a bunch more times but I saw it listed for 3:30EST.

Re: 2018 Suns Offseason News

I really like Shaq Harrison. I'm even okay with him as a starter, given his strength on the defensive end. I like Jones and think he would be an upgrade, but I doubt that Teague really would be, all things considered. Dragic would be a big upgrade, obviously. I think we're a bubble playoff team with...

Not interested in Okafor, Brodgon, or Jabari Parker for that matter. If we can't get expirings and a pick for Bled and Chandler, here are the players I'd look at: :::crickets::: Chris Paul?

Re: 2017-18 Attendance

I'll attend when I'm in town. Should happen twice this year - once in a couple weeks and the other around Christmas. I'll also attend when the visit the closest NBA city to me - Milwaukee. I look forward to the day when those seats are expensive because of how big a road draw the Suns are.
