Re: Suns News: Week 10 12/26-1/1

It's well past december 15th and Brandon Knight is still on the damn roster. February 23rd, 2017 is the date you want to look at as that's the trading deadline. How many other trades have you heard about since the 15th? How many other teams have a player that needs to be shipped out as bad as Knigh...

Re: 2017 NBA Draft Prospect Discussion

Could Lonzo be a 6'6 Nash? Right now he's third on my very early list behind Fultz and Josh Jackson. Thoughts on Malik Monk? I haven't given him much thought cuz he just screamed 2 guard in a 1's body, but he's been so good this year, that he's worth a look. Still not sure a Monk/Booker backcourt wo...

Re: Suns News: Week 9 12/19-12/25

You can't expect much back for Knight. That trade I listed isn't far off from what we can probably get for a bench chucker guard on a multi-year contract. We might be able to get a 2nd-round pick with the deal, but no way do we get a 1st in any Brandon Knight trade. If we did, it'd be a McDo Miracl...

We'd better be getting picks as well. Tolliver and collison is garbage.

Re: Game Day: Rockets (21-8) @ Suns (8-20), Wed 12/21/16

How hard is it to get a coach and GM on the same page? I know the whole having the same person as coach and GM doesn't always work out, but having a coach and GM with differing agendas doesn't either. Why can't McD go to Watson and tell him his job is to develop this team for the future. Tell him th...

Re: Game Day: 76ers (7-21) @ Suns (8-21), Fri 12/23/16

We really need an 8th team to get going in the west so that 4 games out excuse can go away for good. Portland has been a huge disappointment this year. Some are comparing them to our suns of a few years back. Major surprise 1 year, add too many perimeter players the next that don't fit together and ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (8-19) @ Timberwolves (7-19), Mon 12/19/16

Booker shot 40% from the field and 29% from 3 after the all star break last year. I think maybe our expectations are part of the problem. We remember him being better than he was because our other guards were Archie Goodwin and Ronnie Price.

He's 20, he continues to flash ability, but he's still 20.

Re: Around the League: Week 8 12/12-12/18

I guess I'm not that high on Len, he's an above average rebounder and defender and is ok offensively. Not a liability, but not really an asset either. I just think spending a bunch of money on someone who is never going to be a star is risky. Especially when your current roster doesn't have a star. ...

Re: Around the League: Week 8 12/12-12/18

I see no reason to acquire a guy like Noel right before he is about to get paid a crazy big contract. He's going to be one of the top candidates this summer to get way, way overpaid. I think Len is just as likely to get way overpaid. If last offseason was any indication, the going rate for big men ...

Apparently there have only ever been 4 other 20-20 triple doubles. Leander just listed the other four occasions and they didn't include Wilt's famous "double-triple-double" (20-20-20). Apparently whoever did this research didn't go all the way back. Basketball-reference only tracks triple...

Ya, Westbrook having one heck of a game, 26/20/10. Not sure why Tucker and Knight have been on him, Bledsoe is supposed to be a defensive stopper

Knight looking extra bad today, just lost the ball out of bounds, didn't see anyone even defending him that close

How is Andre Roberson shooting 28% from the line? Most 7 year olds could do that

Re: Suns News: Week 8 12/12-12/18

Why hasn't Knight been traded yet? I thought he was supposed to be gone on the 15th? Cut him outright if they can't trade him. Give him the Josh Smith treatment. And pay him 14 million a year for the next 3 years to play for someone else? Stupidest thing we could possibly do. Knight isn't playing w...

Re: Around the League: Week 8 12/12-12/18

Down the road you can probably try Chriss/Bender at the 4 with Okafor at the 5. Remains to be seen whether Chriss or Bender are good enough interior defenders to cover for Okafor's weaknesses. That would be the long term look. Not sure you'd be able to trade both Chandler and Len right now to put O...

Re: Around the League: Week 8 12/12-12/18

I'm really not interested in Noel. He's useless offensively which makes it tough to play him as a 4 (where we also have to develop Chriss and Bender) and is probably too small to play the 5, where we already have Len and Chandler. Despite the knocks on his defense, I've always been a fan of Okafor ...
