Re: Goran Dragic Trade Watch

It figures I lose internet in my house for the last 72 hours of the trade deadline and couldn't follow along with everything. When I initially saw they traded the LA pick I flipped out. I'm trying to talk myself into it by rationalizing that the pick won't be conveyed until next year and that the La...

I'll have to autopick if it is on Saturday as scheduled. Sunday afternoon would work, but I'll do whatever everyone else wants.

Crazy to think that I joined in May 2004 while I was a junior in college who had nothing better to do than talk about the Suns and drink :lol: I haven't posted regularly in a long time because of life changes-buying a house, getting my MBA, getting married, etc. But, I will start making more of an a...

Re: Around the League: October

There definitely is something that makes the training staff stand out. Just look at some of the guys who were healthy here and then left. Shaq, Grant Hill, Nash, Amare just to name a few. They leave Phoenix and almost immediately break down.

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

I think the deal is fine. Both sides met in the middle and if it wasn't for the fifth year, it would be like 4 years $55 million, which I think most people would have been fine with. I am trusting the medical staff in their evaluation if they gave him a straight 5 year deal. And if I'm not mistaken,...

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

I don't think you'll see the Suns go higher than something like 4 years/$52 million. If Bledsoe wants to be an idiot and take the QO and risk another injury, then so be it.

I'd almost rather take a flyer on Charlie Villanueva as an extra big off the bench. He could probably be had for dirt cheap.

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

Hmmm, very interesting question. I would have to say Dragic, but we don't have that one player that opposing fans are excited to see. If Phoenix goes to Boston, there probably aren't many people saying oh I can't wait to see Dragic tonight! Sad thing is, the guy on our team who's probably shown on ...

Yeah, that brings up an interesting question for me - who's our most marketable player? Dragic (my guess anyway)? Or do you need that true superstar for these kinda matters?

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

I can't see Bledsoe taking the QO, there is just too much risk involved, especially for someone with his injury history. If he really is all about the money, he should just take a 3 year deal like RW mentioned and then he can cash out again, health permitting, while still in his prime. If he really ...

I'll chime in quickly just to give my two cents. I've been around for a decade now (can't believe it's been so long!), but I haven't posted nearly as often as I used to because my free time has decreased significantly now that I'm getting married next week and am a homeowner with grown up responsibi...

Re: SUNS 2014: Free Agency

Do we want Jordan Hill at 2 years, $18M? I'd honestly prefer to get Nash as an expiring contract, let him retire with a Heroes welcome playing spot minutes off the bench, leaving us cap space to work with next year. I thought I read somewhere that most, if not all, of Hill's salary next year is ung...

I would think that takes them out of the Bledsoe race, right? Well, for a max contract at least.

Re: Isaiah Thomas to Suns in Sign and Trade

I was initially confused by the deal, but I love it. He will play big minutes and is insurance in case of injury to Bledsoe or Dragic. Even if there is a logjam, the contract is great. Would you rather have Thomas for 27 million over 4 years or Jordan Hill for 18 million over 2 years? We might even...

Re: NBA Finals: Spurs vs Heat 2

How about when Beasley dribbled the ball under the hoop while trying to inbound the ball? I've never seen that before and then naturally he was called for a 5 second violation.
