i think we need to get another all-star quality player on our own
and then we can attract and sign another star (including tj warren if he gets to that level)

booker + a top 3 2018 pick in 2019
the rest are just exchangeable parts

the 2018 draft thread is hot, and rightfully so we're hungry, the fruits are ripe, but we're likely to be just out of range for the cream of the crop instead of relying on injuries (real or imagined) let's tank the right way by legitimately being worse than our remaining opponents chandler stinks, w...

Anthony Davis's 45 in overtime is the top NBA headline
Booker's 43, with 21 in the last 8 of regulation is nowhere on my NBA news page.

Young is not "small and thin" for a pg. and we need a pg
Ayton is big and agile and can shoot. and we need a center
either looks like superstar material

damn it, i just found out the new draft percentages take effect in 2019!

in the interest of development, and considering Booker is the only permanent piece to the suns future, it's not a bad thing for him to accumulate experience as a playmaker. if we had any realistic hopes for our current pg's, it might be a problem. for now, we could let him run things for awhile ever...

i don't agree with the negative takes on Troy Daniels. he definitely needs to contribute more than 3's but his 3's are vital to us his presence on the court gives the defense something to worry about and Booker some breathing room the sun's are 2nd worst in 3 percentage and 7 of the top 3 shooting t...

something related to a coach, perhaps -- Frank Johnson?

Suns’ Josh Jackson has responded after honest talk with Jay Triano: http://arizonasports.com/story/1372879/suns-josh-jackson-responded-honest-talk-jay-triano/ Before his first game as the Phoenix Suns’ interim head coach, Jay Triano had told forward Marquese Chriss he expected more out of him. The ...

BTW, did the "no current Suns logos as avatars" rule die with the old site? Because I think TOO's in violation. V9’s probably OK. I have never been contacted by the team about that issue. And I have seen sports team logos / player photos all over avatars on every other forum and site all ...

i have to believe Booker makes the all-star team thanks to players, media, and coaches votes
if suns fans weren't depressed, they'd be more of a factor

regardless though, i'm fine with him not making it this year
i want him to stay hungry

btw, Mori, you've done a great job with this forum. i left years ago when things were too often out of control and hostile. this is an excellent model for how to successfully maintain a forum at a time when many are becoming obsolete with all the social media competition (i'll be closing down a poli...

i think IT is a small player with a big talent who has always played with a "chip on his shoulder"
down by 30 was a chip knocker in one of his first appearances for the top ranked Celtics

but his silence on many matters speaks volumes No it doesn't. Any "Dad, knock it off" comments belong behind closed doors. I'm not going to blame Lonzo for not publicly berating his father. you're going the extra yard to NOT blame him by injecting "berating" into the scenario he...

speaking of players i don't trust
what's up with that nasty Isaiah Thomas foul?
he's another quiet one with a dark side

And, I notice that ESPN is really the only outlet 'reporting' about Lavar and the Ball family. Nobody else cares. i see Lavar headlines all the time on Yahoo news. the absurdity. imagine if the media interviewed and posted comments from all of the player's families. imagining a trade for Lonzo is a...

We seem to be playing the right guys. The top 6 minute getters are the 6 I'd want getting the most minutes. I wish Len were higher. But maybe we have already made up our mind on that one. I think we'll regret letting him go. i'm guessing that if we looked at avg per minute Len would be: #3 points, ...

I did say, and still believe, that the 2017-18 OKC Thunder are garbage... They have to address their failure to teach Russell Westbrook how to play proper basketball. At this point it is probably too late for the guy; this is who he is. Westbrook and Carmelo are cut from the same cloth. never liked...

that Young clip is an eye opener. i liked that it wasn't only highlights
i'm guessing steph curry didn't look that good in college
i watched Lonzo clips before the draft
comparing both pre-draft clips, i'd pick Young without hesitation

My guess is Triano is limited by management on how/when to play Monroe and Len. Because Chandler has a larger contract and has a championship ring, management defers to him, like he's some sort of NBA royalty/Jedi knight. It has the stink of the false Prince, Sarver the faux puppet master. always f...
