Re: Around the League: The Off-season

I don't think anyone is high on the Suns player development. But Chriss is not exactly a victim, he's on his fourth team already. Why didn't he make it in Houston? They preferred granpa Nene over him.

Re: Game Day: Nuggets (2-0) @ Suns (2-1), Mon 10/14/19

You're basically saying that the Suns should lock him into a max contract before shows the ability to produce at that value. I'd just hate to see the Suns put themselves in that situation. Again, I'm not saying trade him tomorrow or even this year. I'd just have him available for the right price if...

Re: 2019 NBA regular season predictions

West: 1.: Denver - continuity and depth are good for the regular season. Could also make an all in trade mid-season. 2.: Houston - Harden and Westbrook are good for the regular season 3.-5.: LA teams, Utah - both LA teams have injury concerns and will load manage. Mitchell is not a superstar yet. 6...

A TJ Warren highlight from India.

He also had 30 points and shot 5/6 from 3. One assist though :)

Re: Suns sign Rubio

I appreciate the optimism, but people said the same thing last off-season. There were plenty of people here saying bring in Trevor was a really good signing and it would give us a big jump forward, coupled with a dominant 7-1 center and book a year older and... I really don't understand how you can...

Re: 2019 FIBA World Cup

They've given up. Would it be false to call them front runners? Maybe. But the croatian team was talking s*** about them saying they don't want to meet them in the tourny or USA would regret it. A 32-7 quarter to start the game says a lot. Serbian team :) The Croatian team was never in the tourname...

Re: Suns sign Rubio

Winning 25-30 games is still much better than last year. Especially if we eliminate the truly embarrassing losses. How many games were over by the half, or even the end of first quarter last year? We can be much better without doubling our win total.

I'm not sure I'll have enough time to be properly active this year, so if you're not desperate for players I'd skip this season.

Re: NBA Summer League

That is a good point. Drummond is a top 5 center. And it literally gets you nothing, even in the east. Drummond a top 5 center? I always thought he is like a slightly better Whiteside. Gets the stats, but doesn't really help the team. Jokic, Embiid, Towns, Horford, Gobert are for sure better than h...

Re: Around the League: The Off-season

I don’t know what I’m missing with Dallas, but I do not see them winning 41 games. Thunder probably win more than 31 if they keep CP3. That team is still decent. The Mavs won 33 last year with serious tanking after the all-star break. They traded away their starting line-up (except Doncic) mid-seas...

Re: Around the League: The Off-season

The West is a bear. Even last year with KD and a mostly healthy year, the Warriors didn't get above 57. I am not sure anyone in the west gets to that number, even the Clippers who I think are the favorites to lead the West. Also Leonard will only play ~60 games and George might take some time to ge...

Re: Suns News: 2019 Off-Season

Nobody in their right mind would come play here instead of playing for Golden State. You have proven all-NBA players and a top coach and a great city/market. After it came out that they were signing him, you knew that the Suns had no chance for him. As for Brogdon, that is who I really wanted. But ...

Win totals from Vegas. Who's too high/low?

It's still far from the season but...
Under on the Clippers, Grizzlies, Thunder
Over on Raptors, Magic, Jazz, maybe Heat
The next season will be exciting, at least at the start.

That's only depth if you compare it to a team that incurred in malpractice last season. It looks like a 'complete' roster but it still has huge holes given the specific players added, all of which bring a concerning amount of question marks. Also, as proposed by that tweet, the bench is terribly ho...

I wouldn't be surprised if Morey were looking at RW as an asset to flip. No way he thinks RW and Harden can work together successfully.
I will be surprised if they get back more than they gave away.

Re: Around the League: The Off-season

Is it crazy to wonder if OKC will just stretch CP3? If my math is right, it still leaves 17.7 million on the books the next 7 years in dead money, but that seems a lot better than an average of 41.4M on the books over the next 3. Easier to eat 40M when you're rebuilding than 17M when you want to be...

Jevon Carter won’t be in the opening roster. He’s the 2019-20 George King. What are we waiting for on Oubre again? And no Kawhi is not an answer. Either extend him or don’t. If you don’t then trade him. It’s simple. Dither, dither dither. Here we are again. But it is the answer. That has to happen ...

Re: Suns sign Frank Kaminsky

I'm surprised Kaminsky got that much money. Is the second year any kind of option maybe? We now have two bigs who can shoot, which I think is necessary, and any combo of the 4 bigs should be able to play together except Baynes and Ayton. More athleticism would be nice, but athletic bigs that can sho...
