Splitter in Portland will get some votes, too.

IMO the Rockets and Suns KD experience are almost identical. Rox get the moral victory on this one, but the results are the same. Why do they get the moral victory? Maybe since they gave up less? I'm really loving what they gave up. I think Brooks and (potentially) Green are a bigger gain for is ...

IMO the Rockets and Suns KD experience are almost identical. Rox get the moral victory on this one, but the results are the same. Why do they get the moral victory? We gave up so more, and they still have FV and Sengun on the roster. Fans could tell themselves that the ship will right next season.

I think it's just the ups and downs of player development. Dunn looks less impactful at this point in the season, but I remember him being one of the few bright spots in those first 5-10 games. Now, Royce, JG, Livers, and Oso are all playing much better than they were. Maybe Dunn just doesn't look ...

Also, what's the over/under on AD playing 40 games this season. I think he has averaged like 50 over the last 7 years. Jeez.

IMO the Rockets and Suns KD experience are almost identical. Rox get the moral victory on this one, but the results are the same. Suns traded for KD expecting that Book and CP3 would be the leaders and run the offence. Rox traded for KD expecting that Sengun and FVV would be the leaders and run the ...

Despite KATs great scoring I'm comfortable with Royce, Oso, and Dunn defending him. Maybe I'm just a homer, but I think our guys can handle him and KAT going off for a difficult 25 doesn't worry me nearly as much as Brunson going off or the role players getting hot. I had forgotten that Shamet is ...

Stix is not a 4. I like him and root for him but he’s Oso with a 3 point shot (minus the dribbling and passing).

So ... Not Oso?!?

I'm obviously not a Richards stan, but I don't like the idea of moving him just to move him. I do understand the cap stuff now that it's been pointed out. Still, I hope we can get something back so it's not just a salary dump. Previous GMs might have had to add a pick to move him.

Ty Jerome is still out, so we just have to keep a lid on Jock Landale.

Suns by 12.

16/4/4 on great shooting and defense? He's better than when we had him. I know people say his defense has fallen off, but I don't buy it. There was some hope that he would be a real scoring threat after his half season of scoring 25ppg for the Nets, and I do think Mikal gets more press than a guy of ...

All this talk of trading Richards assumes we would get something back, right? I don't think many of us would advocate cutting Richards outright. But what return could he possibly bring? Maybe a future 2nd? Might not be worth moving him unless someone wants to stupidly overpay.

This one hurt, friends. I'm proud of the team for playing so well, and then it's just heartbreaking to miss the last 4 or 5 shots or whatever it was. There's really nobody to be mad at for this one except OGW.

This one feels like a must-win to me, which is awesome because I didn't expect any game to be important this season.

GO SUNS!

Bone, I appreciate you adding that it's an early start in the title. Thanks for looking out for us dummies.

Taking care of business.

JJ is LeBron's 10th head coach. He has a pattern of undermining the coach if he isn't getting his way.

I haven't been active in this thread because I'm usually a couple of days behind, but I'm having a blast reading and guessing. Thanks for posting these!
