I'd MUCH rather sign Gasol as an FA this offseason than trade assets for him, lose those assets, and then feel more pressure to re-sign him to avoid having wasted those assets.
And I say that despite not being super pumped about Gasol in general. I'd much rather have Love or some other guys.

Re: First Round: L.A. Clippers (3) vs. Golden State Warriors
Iguodala just fouled out. 3 point game with 3 minutes left. Warriors are starting to hack-a-DeAndre. LOL. Jordan has had a really solid game overall. Too bad to see so many top players (Iggy, Blake Griffin, etc.) sitting due to foul trouble.
It would be HUGE if GSW could steal Game 1 in LA.

Re: First Round: L.A. Clippers (3) vs. Golden State Warriors
Clips up big so far. 12-1. I think the Clippers are better than OKC and are the second best team in the West.

Re: First Round: Indiana Pacers (1) vs. Atlanta Hawks (8)
Yawn. Is there any more boring first-round series? (Maybe Heat-Bobcats?) The Hawks didn't even want to make the playoffs. And they'll soon be back out of them. Indiana has had a real malaise over them during the second half of the season, but Atlanta is a far inferior team. Also I think being in the...

Re: First Round: L.A. Clippers (3) vs. Golden State Warriors
I have been watching a lot of Warriors games now that I live in the Bay Area. I just don't see this GSW team winning a playoff series. The team relies way too much on Curry pulling a basket out of his posterior in the closing moments. Bogut's out, which hurts them a lot. I think the Clips have slowl...

Re: First Round: Toronto Raptors (3) vs. Brooklyn Nets (6)
It seems like everybody is picking Brooklyn in this one. I picked them, too, but it was partly out of laziness. I don't really know the Raptors that well, so I just assumed they'd roll over. I heard some stats that they lose most of their close games because they don't have a real go-to scorer. But ...

As usual, INF is right on. They should keep as many talented rookies on the roster as they reasonably can.

Re: Phoenix Suns 2013-2014: Year In Review
Ugh, can you believe how bad that trade was?? It still angers me. (And, to be fair, I supported it at the time. I didn't realize how far Aaron Brooks had fallen.)It's the Aaron Brooks for Dragic and a 1st rd pick trades that set teams back.

Re: Phoenix Suns 2014: Offseason Moves
I think the Thibodeau system is much like the D'Antoni system in that if you take a guy out of that system after he looked great in the system for several years, suddenly the guy is lost and worthless. The system either burns guys out or uses guys so well that their value out of it is diminished. I ...

Re: Suns News: Week of 4/14-4/20
Ring- I can understand wanting to make a move at the deadline. But I didn't want to give up a 1st for a rental on Gasol. I have no idea why the Lakers didn't trade him other than the fact that they were demanding a 1st. I'd rather not make a move then overpay...But I can understand the reasoning be...

Re: Game Day: Grizzlies (48-32) @ Suns (47-33) , Mon 4/14/14
I would be okay with it as long as somebody pulled Dragic aside and told him that he's due for similar money when his contract is up for renegotiation. But that also raises the question of whether we want a $25m+ backcourt.

Re: Game Day: Grizzlies (48-32) @ Suns (47-33) , Mon 4/14/14
My biggest concern about signing Bledsoe is, if we pay him market value, he'll immediately be making almost double what Dragic is making. And I think that sends a bad message. In what way is/was the contribution of Bledsoe twice as much as that of Dragic last season, or going forward?? Dragic was th...

Re: Next Moves
I really dislike Westbrook. I know it's a little silly, but I'd much rather have Dragic than Westbrook on our team, and that's even before you start to consider salary. But stats don't really back me up on that one. It's a sentimental preference, a homer pick.

It looks like Al Jefferson went down with a knee injury tonight. OOF. Wow, anything can and will happen in an NBA season. I feel bad for the Bobcats. So with that in mind, I hope the guys take it easy and mostly just let the bench and rookies have a ton of minutes.

Re: Game Day: Grizzlies (48-32) @ Suns (47-33) , Mon 4/14/14
I have a feeling that there is going to be more turnover on the roster than we are seeing right now. I hope so. I know this was a feel good season and everyone all giddy, but the Suns don't have a foundation for a championship team, they can't defend, they don't have a paint presence on offense, th...
