Re: NBA News: Offseason

I get that Batum is making a lot of money, but it is less than Bradley Beal. There's always a team out there that will pay good players like great players because making the playoffs is more important that the long run. That's how Joe Johnson got his payday. We could list a bunch more.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason (2016)

LOL @ fake Delly $118m contract. Man I'd love to get Dudley back here as a Sun. He was the best. Great locker room guy, great for team chemistry and cheerful overall attitude. And we need more good shooters and guys who hustle on defense. Guaranteeing PJ Tucker's $5m salary is, as others have said ...

He's a better than OK passer. Agree that he's not a star.

In 2017-18, the Suns will win 30 games. And finish over .500.
Exactly what I was thinking. Owners are going to spend themselves into a lockout.

Re: NBA News: Offseason

Agreed on Derozen. It's not like he blew up in the post-season either. Derozen is king of the contested long two pointer. DeRozan is great at drawing fouls, and he sets the tone for the whole team. He was third in the league at free throw attempts, and he shot a higher fg% than Harden. I agree that ...

One of the men in that photograph can do something the others will never be able to do. Ulis can walk into any random clothing store and find clothes that fit.

Thanks for posting the schedules. I'm certainly not going to miss the "most watched summer league team."

Re: Suns News: The Offseason (2016)

The more I think about it, the more I hope we do nothing. I'd be OK bringing back leuer or teletovic on short deals, although both will probably want to cash in. Maybe sign amare, he's made a bunch, he won't need a big payday. I'm on board. Can we at least try and develop a young core instead of ...

Re: Poll: Who should the Suns take at #4?

Every situation is different but I think 4-5 years is pretty reasonable to let a guy come in and do his job. First year is usually evaluation, 2nd and 3rd years are making moves and putting his stamp on the team, 3rd and 4th years are where you should see some (somewhat) significant progress. I can ...

Re: Poll: Who should the Suns take at #4?

One problem is that McD is starting to enter the "results or else" portion of his tenure as our GM. He doesn't get infinite time to miss the playoffs every year, and he doesn't want to get fired. So I do think he will start to panic if we are looking bad and might start to make short-term decisions ...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason (2016)

Knight is useful. That's the point. A number of teams could use him either as starter or as a 6th man. I get wanting to cut bait as soon as possible, addition by substraction and all that, but you can't have it both ways. You can't complain about IT3 hogging the ball and being bad for the chemistry ...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason (2016)

Thanks for posting! Nothing earth shattering, but good to see some of them see the same things we do. I've been thinking about Chandler/PJ/Knight to Houston in some form. I think Chandler would be an ideal center on that team but not sure we'd get much back in return. Sactown makes the most sense ...

Re: NBA News: Offseason

McD has come right out and said explicitly he doesn't expect to win a lot next year. I don't think he would say that if he were trying to woo big name free agents. It's a little amusing how much consternation there is around here about the team unwisely offering a huge contract to a FA who doesn't ...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason (2016)

Woj believes that LMA was ours the day before he signed with the Spurs. Then Riley showed up and gave LMA a talk about sacrifice and winning and being part of something bigger than yourself. LMA decided to go to the spurs, and actually called McD first to tell him he had a change of heart.

He's kind of throwing the players under the bus. "They said they were willing to sacrifice, but that wasn't the case."
