Perhaps my post was a little strong--I actually think that he could be a good GM, and I have generally liked his approach up to this point. I just think its funny how McD has often talked about using draft picks to trade for a star.

"Hey, Lonzo is not going to play with you and only wants to play with us(Lakers). How about we give you the 28th pick and D'Angelo Russell and call it good?" - Magic Deal. It would end up being Mozgov and 28th for Ball and Knight. And a conditional second round pick. McD would be excited that we ...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason

A large segment of Phoenix sports fans are bandwagoners simply because so many "locals" have migrated from other places and are either first or second generation Phoenicians. I also don't have a problem with fans attending fewer games because the organization hasn't consistently put out a ...

Re: NBA Finals 2017: Warriors vs Cavs

There is a meme just waiting to be made with Kevin Durant quoting Darth Vader to Lebron:

We meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now, I am the master.

I think there would be a black mark on Lebron's career if he leaves the Cavs a second time.

Re: NBA Finals 2017: Warriors vs Cavs

But the NFL is widely regarded as doing a wonderful job on parity (New England aside). But it is clearly driven by stars, primarily QBs. If you have a top 5 QB, even if the other 54 players on the team are not great, you have a chance. I don't see the NBA as all that different when it comes to star ...

Re: NBA Finals 2017: Warriors vs Cavs

I should also say that I come to this discussion from a different place. I don't mind the super teams, and I don't think 3 years in a row is too long for a couple of teams to be dominant. What bothers me is the 10 or so teams in the nba who you know for sure will never compete without a Cleveland ...

Re: 2017 Suns NBA Draft (4th, 32nd, 54th)

I would love it if we could somehow package picks 32 and 54 together to get either a higher pick in a later draft or a higher pick in this draft. What do you think the odds are Philly would be willing to swap places with us if we gave them the 32 and 54? They still get whatever man they are ...

Warriors in 6. Story after game 2 about LeBron wanting more from Kevin Love. Story in the offseason about Irving being frustrated about his lack of touches in the Finals. That being said, this is probably the least interested I have been in the finals in several years. I don't find a lot of joy in ...

Yup, Im ready for the draft to start today. Lets get this thing over with. I almost couldn't stomach reading anything about the NBA after the draft. In my heart of hearts, I believe the draft is not rigged, but my goodness, it doesn't feel like it sometimes. I think that the question ultimately is ...

Re: NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs Round 1

Wizards started great until Morris was injured. Terrible news for them if he misses more games, with Oubre playing instead of him Thomas got a place to hide on defense. Poor crybaby Morris. Im not sure if I am ever going to be able to root for the team he plays on again. I think these last few ...

Re: Suns News: Week 25 - The End of '16-'17

Not yet, but Booker may have the potential to become the same kind of "How the f*** do you stop this guy?" guy as Harden. In fact, I'd put Booker above Harden at the same age. Harden was pretty unstoppable at 20...of course he was in college at asu. What Booker is doing at his age is pretty ...
