I agree with you on Triano but I also want to go after the Debbie downers that suggest that we do not have the talent to compete down the road. Certainly we could use a couple of more pieces but that is what the draft, free agency and trades are all about. I had many things I didn't like about Watson but the main thing was that he did not develop our draft picks. Hell Bender hardly played and he let Chriss do whatever he wanted to. Bender has shown signs of being a legitimate problem to deal with down the road on both ends of the court and the same goes for Len. Chriss has been horrible prior to last night but he played really well and had 10 rebounds. I think maybe the Triano method of yanking his ass when he is not doing the right things versus taking him out to dinner is sending a message and it appears that Chriss has read the memo. Bender is getting a chance to play and he is contributing. I wanted no part of Alex Len coming into the season or after the first 3 games, since Triano took over I can see him with us for a very long time.djy2j wrote:Awesome win. Glad they hung in there. They looked dead in the water for most of the first half. I'll give props to Chandler for not being a total turn style on D tonight. He looked a little better out there.
Huge game from TJ. He has a special instinct for getting the ball in the hoop. Not many people have what he has. Hope he can continue to figure it out. And he even hit a clutch corner 3!
LEn looked pretty ferocious out there as well fighting for rebounds and getting put backs.
The only thing I fear about the Suns winning is the FO jumping the gun and taking the interim tag off Triano. The Suns love impulsive moves like that. I just pray that they take the entire season to evaluate him.
I know it is early but I can see the following players being big contributors for us down the road. I see them all more than just role players. They all are capable of playing both ends of the court with the proper coaching. That is why the evaluation for both our coach and our young players needs to extend at least until the next off season prior to making any other rash moves or trades. I would not include any of the following guys in any trades at this point.
Alex Len, Bender,Chriss, Warren, Josh Jackson and Booker
While I like both James and Ulis at the Point it would be nice if we can trade Bledsoe for another option at the point. However I think it is wise to keep both Chandler and Dudley with the current group, unless they are needed in a trade to pick up a valuable piece. The chemistry appears to be off the charts at this point, why screw it up?
Hopefully the Cavs continue to suck and Lebron does his GM thing while forcing the Cavs to trade the Brooklyn pick for Bledsoe.
The best part of the whole situation is that I no longer have to watch or listen to Earl Watson.
