https://arizonasports.com/story/3551219/suns-mat-ishbia-sees-other-teams-hiding-from-spending-in-2nd-apron/ Was this posted? Ishbia seems aware of what he's doing here His comments on the point guard position (and relying on Jordan Goodwin last year) makes it sound like a clown show. And when you h...

PTI did a segment on this yesterday and made some good points - the NBA wants parity and wants to be like the NFL but doesn't it hurt teams like Denver who draft and develop players like Murray and Jokic, build around them properly and then lose key free agents like Brown and KCP bc of that apron? ...

Here's the South Sudan roster. Only name I recognize is Wenyen Gabriel. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/south-sudan-basketball-team-roster-2024-olympics/6cad743688c85a17c4b4fdff I watched Shayock in college and followed him a little bit through the pre-draft process. Carlik Jones has been ...

I want to say that it’s karma for the nuggets thinking they can outsmart the system and losing key pieces to their championship roster. It’s not quite Dallas 2006 level but it’s close. I'm hoping they'll still be good enough to be enticing to Bradley Beal. Beal for Jokic? Adding Russ probably negat...

But about Wong: I hate James Jones' fascination with having an endless supply of small shooting guards, but I would definitely be open to keeping Wong around. He struggled with his shot in the G-League last year, but he really looks improved and like he has a nice feel for the game. I don't know if ...

Then the 2nd article makes the case for Wong, a little click bait-y comparing him to Bronny but only because they were both picked 55th in their respective drafts. Spot on with the click bait, because the comparison is silly. Wong has 4-5 years of college ball and a year in the G-League. Bronny has...

No faith in the late season surge then?

No. He definitely has talent, but I am not convinced he has what it takes to consistently be an efficient scorer or 2-way player.

He's gonna be why they get rid of Green.

Green will be why they get rid of Green.

I think it's easier to call these contracts tradable than it is to actually find another team with 1) a contract that we can trade under the second apron rules, 2) a player that actually is someone we want/need, 3) a desire to actually acquire our player and give up something of value.

I guess it's time to start keeping track of trade candidates who make $8M or less. Dyson Daniels - ATL Vasilijie Micic - CHA Ayo Dosunmu - CHI Zeke Nnaji - DEN Paul Reed - DET Simone Fontecchio - DET Kevon Looney - GSW Jeff Green - HOU Jock Landale - HOU Ja'Sean Tate - HOU Jarace Walker - IND Kenri...

Yeah, that Oso jump shot is painful to watch.

Was your signature meant for the Suns? 1 out of 11 isn't bad. And DeRozan for the minimum was a pipe dream.

Yes. And I know the DeRozan thing was a pipe dream.

I think that would just lead to playing Durant with 4 shooting guards, and that isn't going to get us very far. We have to stop just adding names and talent and start thinking about how the pieces fit together. Adding Trent when he is in "prove my worth" mode to the Booker/Beal/Allen/Lee/L...

Roddy's intriguing but it's definitely going to be hard to be a 6-4 stretch PF. He's got an interesting skillset for sure tho.

To be fair, he is 6'6 in shoes, with 6'11 wingspan.

I like everything Durant is saying. He definitely speaks as if he's the leader of the team. But we did win 49 games last year — it was a discombobulated season. Guys in and out, we didn’t have quite a rhythm on the offensive side of the ball, defensively we still trying to figure stuff out and we s...

I'd rather have a bigger wing player, although I can't say any of the guys left would really make a difference.

I think Brandon Boston potentially could.

Good, I don’t want Kessler…I think he sucks

He is solid, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to give up a 1st round pick for him. Reportedly the Knicks offered 2 first rounders, which is nuts.

I don’t like the fit in Sacramento, but Derozan is quite a bit better than Barnes As a shot creator, sure. Is that what Sacramento needs? Shooting wise Derozan shoots twice as much a game but isn't better percentage wise & still Barnes shoots twice as many 3's. Iono, just don't see it. Ya it’s ...

I want Harrison Barnes

He is on the decline. He gives us more size, but I don't see him making us meaningfully better.

(Very, very) theoretically, what would we need to add to Beal to make Atlanta swap Young for him?

I think the problem is that they already traded Dejounte Murray. Moving Trae for Beal would make sense if they still had Murray.
