Getting Iggy for one yr is risk free. Giving up okobo and a pick may get it done.

I don't mind cams minutes dropping.
We don’t need Iggy. We need a power forward. And Cam’s minutes don’t need to drop.
The suns need a vet who knows how to WIN.

Cam can play smallball 4.

Monty Williams and James Jones: The only black coach-general manager duo in NBA
A conversation with the Suns tandem about being African American in their positions in the NBA, learning from the greats, their mentors, and more
https://theundefeated.com/features/suns ... uo-in-nba/

I suppose I never paid much attention to it, but I didn't realize the Suns are the only team with both a black GM and HC. Surely it's not the first in the history of the league, right?

IT GMed the Knicks with Lenny Wilkens as coach, and later filled both roles himself. Surely there are others.

Outside of MJ and Oprah, I don’t think there are a lot of African Americans with that kind of money.

Knicks have Mills as President BOps, Scott Perry as GM and had Fizdale as head coach until last week. Isaiah was GM with Wilkins, Herb Williams (interim), Mills was President/GM I think when he took over while Woodson was there. Nets had Billy King and Avery Johnson, Lionel Hollins, Kidd. We had Babby as President BOps with Blanks as GM with Gentry and then Hunter as coaches. I think Demps hired Gentry in NOLA? Those are just off the top of my head.

I didn't mean just black. I meant any non-whites. Still not as many to pick from, but there has to be a lot more than 11. (By the way, that number is just crazy)

11 out of 607 in the US. I don't know how many of those 607 are non-white though (other than the 11 obviously).

Just what we all feared, it's probably not "just a little bruise".

If it is, it is a foot long bruise. It keeps expanding each day. When from about 2 inches, to 6, now to 12.

Oops, I misstated it. That’s not 11 African-Americans, it’s 11 blacks worldwide. Only five are American.

And in 2014, Oprah was the only one.
