I don't think DAR and Booker would fit. He's got the talent, but they'd be a bit redundant IMO.

This, but I'd put a big space in between 3 and 4 considering what Russell and Terry would cost us.

Rozier:Boston::Reggie Jackson:OKC. I think a team will regret giving him big money.

I like Morant, but I think we need a ready to go pg...I think Morant will have some growing pains, but I think he’ll be good eventually.

Absolutely not for this team.

We cannot draw the growing process out another 2-3 years. Any addition that does not lead to immediate success next year to me is unacceptable. At some point the losing culture needs to change before Ayton, Booker and company become complacent and forget how to win (if that hasn't already happened).

I do not want a player from the 2019 draft on this team next year unless it is Zion.

I don't disagree. Same concerns. I like his D though.

What is everyone's opinion of Doug Franz?

I bring this up, because this morning he said that Ball is essentially Kendall Marshall. He specifically mentioned Kendall. He said that all he can do is pass and the Suns PA announcer played better defense than him.

I’m not a huge ball fan. I think he’s better than Marshall and he’s got some potential. Jump shot is bad and he’s pretty useless as a scorer off the dribble as he has no midrange game. He’s either step backs or all the way to the rim. His defense is fine and I think he has some value there. Might have trouble defending the small quicker 1’s, but he’s not a bad defender.

They should stick to being off-air, along with Jarrett Carlin. How that guy has a job and is allowed to speak on radio is beyond me.

Jarrett Carlen? Sports Kabob? I thought he was just comic relief.

He produces Bickley and Marotta and is basically a third host of the show because he can’t stay off the mic. He’s not funny at all, and he takes the show on stupid tangents all the time. I would pay money to have him be gone.
