I want Green Miles to protect the rim. Who would want to go inside against that? It's a one-way trip.

If Phoenix Suns hand out a max contract, it should go to Goran Dragic
Bob Young, azcentral sports columnist

It's about time for the Suns to get moving, put their priorities in order, take the advice of LeBron James and "break bread."

But not with Eric Bledsoe. With Goran Dragic.

Dragic is about to enter the third year of a four-year contract he signed with the Suns, but he has a player option at the end of the upcoming season. If anybody is going to get a maximum contract or anything close to it, then it should be Dragic when he opts out.

It's time that the Suns make it clear that Dragic is their top priority, the cornerstone of their future. Maybe, internally, they already have, considering their recent reported conversations with his brother, Zoran.

It always has been known that, financially, the Suns were in a pickle with two starting point guards who would soon have to be paid.

Heh. SI.com's Top 100 NBA players of 2015:

90. Isaiah Thomas. In his third season, Thomas put up career-best numbers that rivaled those of just about everyone at his position.

35. Goran Dragic. Dragic was a worthy third-team All-NBA selection last season for his clever play with the ball and creativity in opening paths to the rim.

33. Eric Bledsoe. The lesser of Phoenix's dual point guards last season is nonetheless the better prospect for this season.

Umm. I love google translate. It's hilarious. Sometimes unintentionally risqué.

Wow, talk about a crowded backcourt. Is our plan just to bury Bledsoe on the bench after he signs his qualifying offer?

Really don't understand signing another guard, unless we move Bledsoe for a big.

We really need to consolidate some talent. I don't think it's healthy to have a roster of 15 players where 14 have expectations of playing time. And I think TJ Warren is too good to bury.

I wonder if McDonough has something up his sleeve? It's definitely a guard heavy lineup. Like Bobster said, it's asset accumulation.

'Bazz, it appears your avatar just went up 50% in value.
