SDC, you're a fool. You've lost any credibility I've had for you with your immature, non justified name calling and complaining about McD. As if you'd do a better job than the runner up to GM of the Year (with many experts saying he was robbed). The guy is good. This off-season isn't over. Our future is bright. You're a fool.

I was reading seriouly his post, but now I think SDC is just having fun pushing people's buttons on McD. Don't feed the troll, until he actually starts making sense again.

it's going to be tough to remove mcdo, not because he is good, but because no quality front office guy wants to work with sarver. everybody from welts, kerr, griffin, quinter have left the suns (this was only 3 yrs ago).

if people are expecting to see improvement from this team, dont. expect to see this team to lose six or seven games more from last season. the suns team will miss frye more than they'd like to admit.

errrr... so instead of trying to build on their last season's success, the suns went even younger. That's smart?

I might be in the minority here but I am actually cool with skipping this free agent class and letting the young guys hold the fort so to speak. We might not be as good as last season but just one season doesn’t really matter in the long run in my opinion. I think these young players we have might actually benefit more with bigger responsibilities and more weight on their shoulders right off the bat. And if Len can breakout this season with maybe Marcus having a year like his brother had last season coming off the bench we might actually be better than most people think.
I can envision a line-up like this. Maybe have Len start with Plumlee providing rebounding and energy off the bench.
Bledsoe/Ennis
Dragic/Green/Goodwin/Christmas?
Tucker/Warren
Markieff/Marcus
Len/Plumlee

I actually agree with this; I've always been a champion of Frye's quiet but important role on the team. However, we have yet to see 1) who signs as a free agent and 2) what our rookies actually are like; If we have a standout, surprising season from one of our young players, coupled with a good free agent pickup, we could be better then last year.

If we stand pat, minus Frye, then I can actually agree with sdc.

would have been great if you went young with a top 5 pick.

and frye wont be as effective in orlando because they lack the PGs to play pick and pop. he wont get a lot of open looks there. and he is orlando's best shooter.

Sure is quiet in Phoenix. Quiet before the storm or is nothing happening other than resigning our RFAs?

How about a 2 year contract, or 4 year contract with a 2 yr team option for DWade?

Mmm... let see... the arrogance and ego issues of Lebron, minus the results... No thanks... That's not the kind of "leadership" I want for the kids to learn.

No thanks. If this is the best the Suns can do this year in free agency, I'd rather stand pat and devote the season to gathering more assets with the cap space and develping the youngs.

As organic as this team is, we sure as hell don't need pesticides.....
