Re: Bill Simmons suspended by ESPN.

So... What's he "going public" about, and when? And does his threat constitute criminal blackmail?

I assume this is a long-term project, and the near term will see him playing PG at most a few minutes a game. It's Milwaukee, what do they have to lose?

Re: Suns News: September

A pogo-stick at the 3 with long arms and not a whole lot else, it seems : http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Jamil-Wilson-18925/ He has all the appearance of practice fodder for training camp. If he does well, he can get a gig in the D League. That's the thing. The Suns invited a couple of these g...

Fearless prediction: It sets Dragic's salary exactly. He will get $13.5M for 2015-16, increasing by $0.5M per year.

Opposing guards will have nowhere to hide on defense. James Harden will hate playing us.

Re: Suns News: September

I don't understand the Hot Rod hate. I can understand hating the trade that brought him here (not his fault), and being frustrated with his injuries (also not his fault), but he played well for us and didn't have character issues. He doesn't deserve to be on the list.

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

If a long-term deal happens, all the mishegas this summer will quickly be forgotten by all but the likes of us. All that will matter to normal people is whether he plays up to whatever contract he ends up getting.

Will he sign the QO at the deadline, skipping the start of camp and Media Day? Or will he sign on time to participate?

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

I do have to give Paul some credit. It wasn't long ago I was criticizing him for not doing anything for his client. I said he was supposed to work the phones and get offers for his client. Now he has. This is a weak play, but it's a play. Instead of just sitting around waiting for his phone to ring ...

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

I do see a lot of young talent on that roster and if they are willing to offer EB the max I think that speaks volumes regarding what they think of him. I hope McD will bend them over a barrel. The volumes that it speaks is that, yeah, they have worse contracts than Bledsoe on a max and would be hap...

Re: Around the League: September

As a point of clarification, Mori, I'm proposing that player salaries be indexed to league-wide BRI, the same value already used to set the salary cap and maximum salaries.

Heh. SI.com's Top 100 NBA players of 2015 : 90. Isaiah Thomas. In his third season, Thomas put up career-best numbers that rivaled those of just about everyone at his position. 35. Goran Dragic. Dragic was a worthy third-team All-NBA selection last season for his clever play with the ball and creati...

Re: Around the League: September

I think salaries ought to be indexed to BRI, just like the cap is. This present business about players putting off signing new contracts in order to take advantage of an anticipated jump in the cap is annoying. But what happens when BRI rises more slowly than anticipated? This hasn't happened in rec...

Re: Suns News: September

I want Green Miles to protect the rim. Who would want to go inside against that? It's a one-way trip.
