Awesome article. Thanks! I'm even more excited to see what we have in him.

The thing I really like about Reed is his ability to handle the ball and make a move off the dribble. I think he even play some point in SL last year...didn't see as much this year because Shaq was on the ball but he's got some dribble drive ability which, along with his shooting, is desperately needed.

Not sure if anyone saw the the fight footage from 2017 that Ulis and Booker were involved in but here's the link:

http://www.tmz.com/2018/07/16/tyson-ch ... yler-ulis/

Nothing much to see. I didn't hear what the guy said to Ulis but Ulis shoves him then get put in a headlock and later Booker and Ulis go back and find the dudes and throw some soft punches. I don't see any suspensions or fines coming from it really which is a nice change of pace from the Morris twins tenure here.

Yeah, good article. He doesn't need to drive the ball to be successful. He does need to get stronger though, so he isn't pushed around. He should have an immediate impact on offense and defense. Him, Reed, Shaq and Josh were a nightmare for teams on the perimeter this summer. No rest for those guys trying to make an NBA team and show out.

Yeah, it was posted and we talked about it. Supposedly the Suns are investigating. I didn't see Booker do anything in the video but I'm sure they'll talk to him about not covering his face and trying to be a vigilante in the future.

A nice change of pace would be grown men not getting into physical altercations.

I just don't see the defense with Chriss. I'm fine with Bender evolving into a 5 because I think he can be effective there. I'd be fine if Chriss can be a Drew Gooden type, but we're still a ways away from that.

Does this go under the "better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved before" category of feelers?

That's the Suns beat writer & we could have all answered those questions exactly the same and probably would have.

I know I’ve been pretty pessimistic about the team the last few months, but I could really see this season ending with a new GM, and trade conversations for Booker. I think the wheels come off this season.
