If you want to go the Mormon route, you could take another name from New Orleans: the Saints. Or something like “Pioneers” to honor the state’s Mormon heritage without being explicitly religious.

Works perfectly if they keep playing like they have the last few seasons.

But we need to be careful what we wish for. If nothing else, at least Sarver keeps the team in Phoenix. As a former Seattle resident, I can tell you that it is extremely scary every time your owner puts your team up for sale. It could get bought by some out-of-state businessman who swears he wants to keep the team local but then begins plans to undermine his relationship with the city and move the team away. They could be the San Diego Suns or Kansas City Suns or Seattle Suns or whatever, if things go the wrong way.

I think Embiid is taking this a little too far. He's getting into bullying behavior territory:
You shouldn't be calling a fellow NBA star a bum publicly. I sure hope he doesn't start this Markieff stuff with Ayton.

I have no problem with it. players talk shit all the time. just imagine the type of things MJ said about his opponents.

Apples and oranges. There was no social media in Jordan's day. BIG difference from saying something publicly versus privately.

I don't think screaming at a guy on the court is in private. Less people can read it, but everyone around the court including the media folks all hear it. And guys like Barkley would say it during national interviews.Superbone wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 8:11 pmApples and oranges. There was no social media in Jordan's day.

Why exactly did we let Big Sauce go? Wouldn't he be a better backup center than Holmes, at a low price? And didn't he desperately want to play here and would have been loyal to our franchise if we'd kept him? I don't get it.
Re: Around the League: Week 3 10/29-11/4
As for the Embiid stuff, yeah, I don't like when he goes negative on another player like that. I like players to show a little personality, but not to troll each other on social media. It's cyber-bullying basically. Then what'll happen is that a bunch of idiot fans will reply and pile on, so now Drummond has all of that garbage in his Twitter timeline. It quickly escalates. Not fun.

This draft was really good.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's some tension between Doncic and the Mavs veterans.

Re: Around the League: Week 3 10/29-11/4
I've read rumors that DeAndre and Mathews are not keen on him and when they get a rebound they don't pass him the ball on purpose. We'll see if that's true, but if that was the case, those two absolutely are on their way out (both are expiring anyway).Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Sun Nov 04, 2018 3:12 amI wouldn't be surprised if there's some tension between Doncic and the Mavs veterans.

Releasing him opened up 5 million in cap room. It was an obvious move. Love big sauce, but he wasn't worth 5 million.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 11:49 pmWhy exactly did we let Big Sauce go? Wouldn't he be a better backup center than Holmes, at a low price?

Yes, but couldn't we have re-signed him after he cleared waivers?Split T wrote: ↑Sun Nov 04, 2018 8:43 amReleasing him opened up 5 million in cap room. It was an obvious move.

Re: Around the League: Week 3 10/29-11/4
We're only 8 games into the season. Also the moves are independent. You can dislike the Ariza signing, but releasing Williams was absolutely the right move, regardless of what we did with the cap space. The only deal Williams found was a 2-way deal. Paying 5 million to a guy no other team even wants to give an NBA contract to is not smart.Cap wrote: ↑Sun Nov 04, 2018 8:48 amFor Trevor Ariza.
