Re: Suns News: Week 20 2/25-3/3

Is "Yes, but only on a good deal" ever a wrong answer?

Re: Around the League: Week 20 2/25-3/3

They are doing their best to keep the pick this year. Kinda makes sense, adding Porzingis, the pick and a free agent next year would be a nice boost. They traded away a lot of their picks...

That's all anyone needs to know, really. He thought he could mentor basketball executives (and players, apparently) at their jobs.

Would you guys trade TJ for Ball and another player to make the salaries work?
Yes. But the salaries work straight up, don't need to add another player.

Honestly, has anyone even noticed Warren's absence?
His fantasy owners.

Re: Around the League: Week 16 1/28-2/3

sorry, wasn't trying to pour salt on any open wounds. Saw all the KP talk in here and didn't get to the other thread before posting this. Apparently Gambo came out & said that we offered them #4 and both Miami picks ahead of the draft that year & NY turned it down. So Woj has some of the fa...

If this is true then Mavs paid way too much.

Re: Around the League: Week 16 1/28-2/3

The general sentiment seems to be that NY got fleeced, but to me it seems like a high risk high reward move for both teams. KP is a great talent but is always injured and huge (bad combo). NY got rid of their bad contracts and now have 2 max slots for the FA lottery, while this I guess takes Dallas ...

Re: Around the League: Week 16 1/28-2/3

https://basketball.realgm.com/tradechecker/saved_trade/7168004 this works perfectly for all the teams involved. Except that NO would have too many players on their roster. And why would they rather have Jackson with all the other wings coming their way instead of Ball? Phoenix would not be in that ...

Re: Around the League: Week 16 1/28-2/3

If you're Philly, would you trade the Miami pick, Simmons and Butler for Davis and Holiday?

You probably involve Houston to take Butler and give their 4 picks to NO. The Pelicans would also have to take on some salary, like Wilson Chandler (expiring I think) and probably Knight from the Rockets.

mikal has some games where you just think, oh yeah, this guy has never played in the NBA before this year and he has a lot to learn. And then other times you see him do things on defense that only top defenders can do. I can't say I know he was worth two first round picks, but if he ever gets a sec...

Re: Suns News: Week 14 1/14-1/20

Harden is winning without anybody right now. That really isn't true. Austin Rivers has been giving them significant contributions. Eric Gordon is back and drop 20 points in multiple games. And Houston is built on the 3-point shot. They have 5 or 6 guys hitting multiple 3s every night. Houston also ...

Re: Suns trade Ariza to Wizards - for real.

It's interesting because I wonder if McD would've waited/held out for the best possible deal. Would he have waited until the deadline and risked the lockerroom with an unhappy vet or would he have made a quick deal just to move on? I'm not sure I would have made this deal this quickly unless things...

If we end up trading for KCP, so help me, I'm out for the season.
KCP can veto his trades and he'd probably veto the shit out of a trade that sends him to the Suns.

Re: Sources: Lakers trying to acquire Suns forward Trevor Ariza in a three-team deal

Even if Fultz can eventually get better and become a productive NBA player, this is not the place for it. This team has no mentorship and no role models for him. The current Suns franchise has shown no ability whatsoever to be able to handle a delicate personal situation like his. On the other hand...
