It's put Barkley's dream team year up against any of Randy's seasons as a D-back. He was unstoppable. No one could guard him in the post. No one. Which is why you'd see Cotton and Paul pulling their hair out whenever he would shoot 3's. Because it was just so damn lazy. No one could hit randy eithe...

Relevant Suns items 57. Draymond Green 56. Goran Dragic Draymond is Golden State’s best defender, feistiest player and locker-room alpha dog, as well as one of the few stretch 4s who defends everyone from Jimmy Butler to Blake Griffin.8 Even if Mark Jackson was trying to start trouble for longtime n...

Bill Simmons is putting out his trade value column
http://grantland.com/features/2015-nba- ... ue-part-1/

Marion was alternately a shooter, a playmaker, a post threat, a leak-out culprit and always a stopper. He was the ultimate garbage collector, versatile defender (from Tony Parker to Dirk), rebounder at 6'7, and for some time he was the best athlete in the L which allowed him to be a terror in the f...

ouch, Portland will still make the playoffs but an injury like this could cost them in the seeding. Might be a 6 seed instead of a 2 seed. Although, they most likely will still be their division champ so I guess they can't fall past 4 unless OKC catches them.

I think Shawn Marion Hall of Fame talk is ridiculous. I don't think it's that far-fetched. Take away the guaranteed HOFers and basketball-reference's hall of fame predictor has Marion leading the pack at 75% chance. Statistically speaking, only KG and Hakeem can beat Marion in career points/rebound...

Just thinking out loud...

The Cornerstone!

You know, for being the leagues best ft shooting team, we sure seem to miss a lot of free throws

I always enjoy seeing my byu guys on INF's lists. I'm a little cautious on their pro potential but they've got some skills. Collingsworth can do just about everything on the court, just needs to learn how to shoot.

Wesley Matthews is one of the more underrated players in the league IMO. He's not flashy, but he's very solid and very consistent. He's a great 3 pt shooter, good defender, doesn't turn the ball over or make dumb mistakes. It's kinda crazy looking at his numbers and how consistent they've been over ...

And Gasol will be the other starter, not howard. I got them mixed up.

They wouldn't make the playoffs, but they'd be better than the nuggets-Kings group in the west and better than all the east lottery teams, that pick would be 12th or 13th

No way any Suns make it. Curry, Kobe, Durant, Griffin, howard are gonna be voted starters. Lillard, Aldridge, Gasol, davis, cousins, cp3, harden are the bench. Not sure how any of those guys don't make it, maybe punish cousins for his bad team. Duncan would be the one guy who could sneak in. Hopeful...

And it's only top 3 protected next year and I doubt the Lakers will be much better, so it'll still be very valuable. They have Kobe, a top 5 pick, tons of cap room, and they're the Lakers. They will be at least decent next year. We're looking at a pick in the mid-teens at best, if we don't get it t...

Agreed.

Can't we at least hang on to him until we can try to nab Cauley-Stein next year!? I like what I'm seeing from Miami's Whiteside lately also.

Then bring in Tyson Chandler to mentor all of them

Just noticed Aaron Gordon is playing for Orlando tonight, not sure how long he's been back, but good to see him back healthy

Ya, that's why I think it might be plumlee who'd like to be traded. He know he's basically an insurance big now and he wants to play.

He's not gonna bring back anything significant, maybe a contender like Dallas throws us a protected 2020 first rounder

Ya, that'd be nice too. I think okafor, towns, or Porzingis would be great additions, problem is they are probably all top 5 picks. If the laker pick is 6th, a team like philly might trade down seeing as they might be more interested in perimeter players

I wonder what we're looking for in return. This might be out of courtesy to Plumlee as his minutes are gonna be almost non-existent now

I'm not too worried about getting the laker pick this year. I think it has more value to us as a trade tool and postponing it a year gives us more trade opportunities. And it's only top 3 protected next year and I doubt the Lakers will be much better, so it'll still be very valuable. Now if we could...
