Did you guys see that PJ Hairston punches and swings at a high school kid at a Durham YMCA yesterday during a pickup game? Apparently, the kid just scored and his team had gotten the better of PJ's during the night. The Suns really should have drafted this guy. Way better dude than LeBron. He's competing!!! :roll:

CB4 is dead, haven't you heard. They say Spoelstra killed him. With consent from Bosh himself, of course.

Like the Granger deal (low risk) don't like the Mcroberts deal. He is a liability offensively....great passer, decent shooter but does nothing in the post.

I think Chandler Parsons is a guy who the suns should be looking into
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

They like McRoberts in the high post so LeBron and Wade can work down low. You don't need a bruising low post scorer. But they still need some size and defense up front.

I wasn't too impressed with him in the Clippers games against the Suns last year or his performance in the playoffs.

Supposedly PJ hit the kid while he was being held also... the kid left, walked straight to the police station, and filed a report. They are actually charging PJ with assault & battery but aren't arresting him.
Go Suns!

Funny thing is that this kid has been taking advanced classes at a local college. I bet he has more "legit" college credits than Hairston.

Yeah, I was going to bring up the Josh Gordon thing, but it's tangentially related and I didn't want to be the guy that was all "How does PJ have a 2015 Escalade?"

Coach K probably told him that shit he pulls for the Thunder won't fly for Team USA. You know, play the point guard position like a freaking point guard.

I'm gonna speculate that he's had 3 knee surgeries within 14 months of each other and needs rest.
