I was talking to a Heat fan, and with Bosh possibly down for the rest of the year. He didn't want Markieff, but a Chandler and Tucker for Winslow and a 1st is good to him.

Also, I would do a Knight plus filler for Rubio.

That still allows the Suns to trade Markieff for some value by himself.

Would he start to pull us out of our free fall? If so, I might to say, "Pass!", although I love the cap space idea. Just can't hand over a loaded firearm to an idiot who's only too eager to unload the weapon asap no matter when or where.

This scares me. The last thing we need is an all star on the market. Sarver might delude himself into thinking Howard could be our savior.

Agreed, no quick fixes for this disaster area.

As a whole, what Markieff as done hasn't been overblown, but this particular incident is nothing and has nothing to do with the future. Besides, I'm guessing that he's seen his last day in a Suns uniform. [crossing fingers]

I feel like this latest incident with Markieff is being way overblown by fans and media. It was nothing that is going to hang over the team. It only looks bad when you put the background of everything else that's been done. There are no lingering ill feelings between Archie and Markieff.

Why would the Suns be interested in Shabazz, when they already have a 2 with a higher upside on the roster? This would seem like Reggie Bullock 2.0.

Are the Kings firing Karl, or what? Isn't this ridiculous? And the sad thing is, I would be happy if we were only as bad as the Kings right now. Am I the only one who's happy with how bad we are at the moment? As long as they don't screw it up and try short term fixes, just keep the ship steady lik...

This is so ass backwards it's ridiculous. The inmates are running the ayslum and any short term success will only lead to long term misery. I'm just holding out hope Watson is smokescreening and driving up Kieff's value so we can trade his bum ass. Gambo said after the coaching change happened and ...

I think he's turning heads, but he's not going to win it. He's way too far behind KAT and Zinger. I have more hope for the future of the Suns than I did last year at this time, and a lot of that has to do with them being much worse this year and knowing that they have a future star on the roster in ...

Woo.

Does this mean this move was made to motivate Markieff into raising his play and trade value?

I wish Sarver would have just given all control to Jerry, and stepped away from any type of decisions other than figure head. Enjoy the games, enjoy the success, enjoy the money that the franchise becomes worth over time.

Um, yea the Warriors became good AFTER they hired Bob Myers.

I hope he meant after they were sold to an owner that put the right people in the right places and stepped away from and didn't create drama.

That's his ceiling if you ask me.

I agree with this, but I'm not a Knight fan.

Wow, I'm very surprised, and kind of disappointed in a just wanted them to tank the rest of the season way.

Len gets 6pts 6boards 2 blocks in 9 minutes in the first half. Second half he doesn't come in till the 4th quarter he will probably only get another 6 minutes. I saw this line during the game, and you needed to add that he had 6 points on a good % and a + 4 at the time. To not play him until much l...

Can we really lose to the Sixers w/o Okafor twice in the same season? We shouldn't be losing to them at all, but the feeling around here (Philly) is the Sixers are actually a better team and much better defensively without Okafor. His Defense is AWFUL and it allows Noel to play center where he is s...

Booker did not get chosen for the Rising Stars challenge. Mainly due to the fact that it's U.S. versus World or whatever now. There was no room on the US roster... https://twitter.com/TheMattPetersen/status/692427080508661760 That is an F'n joke. There are less than a handful of players on there th...

I didn't see the game, nor have I seen many all year. From what has been described, I wouldn't be surprised if the rotations were created just to lose. Make it look like we are trying to win, only to be sabotaged internally. Granted, I would rather throw away this season and win the lottery this year.

Thank you

I'm glad to be honest that Knight is out. I'd rather watch Goodwin/Booker. I fear it hurts the chances of a Knight trade though. I don't know. It might even be better that he's not on the court. His stats are better than he looks. I'd rather the other teams didn't see his boneheaded turnovers. Oh. ...
