That's a bit surprising. He started last game. He's been rebounding quite well but shooting pretty awfully. Hopefully our man Leuer gets the nod going forward.

[EDC]

Hopefully Len starts at PF for the rest of the season.

[The Bobster]

There's no future for Humphries with the Suns, I can see why they would agree to a buyout.

[Mori Chu]

I just hope it isn't one of those "buyouts" where we still end up paying 99% of the original contract money. If we are just going to cut him loose and let him go to any random contender, he better leave something on the table.

[Sunsfan4life]

Meh. It is a little surprising. Suns need bodies at this point. Ultimately though, It's not a big deal. He was gone @ the end of the year anyways

[carey]

Suns waived Humphries, hoping someone will pick him up for his $4.4M cap hit.

[The Bobster]

He'll probably clear waivers and his contract is guaranteed through the end of the season, so I don't know where this savings is coming from.

[Cap]

Well, you got your wish. It isn't a buyout and we're on the hook for 100%.

Everyone's all excited about how Stephen Curry tied the NBA record for most made threes in a game. Let them have their excitement, I say. There is no harm in people enjoying watching the greatest player currently in the game. But there is another record that I fear is going to go unnoticed amongst the falderal:

Alex Len just tied the NBA record for fewest made threes in a game, with 0, a record he now shares with Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan.

Think about that for a moment. Alex Len, now part of an elite pantheon of players that include some of the best of all time. It's hard to even believe, but it's true! Len didn't even TRY a three, let alone make one, for the whole game. THE WHOLE GAME. He could have easily caved in the final quarter, but he knew history was at stake, and he kept his composure. His stunning performance will be remembered throughout the ages.

I know that in retrospect the George Hill for pick-that-was-Kawhi was probably a bad trade on Indiana's part, but I'd love to get my hands on Hill for the Suns. I was just watching an Indiana game last week, and I think the quality of our games would probably go up significantly if we could just swap out Knight for Hill. I don't see Indiana wanting to move him, obviously, but that's a young-ish veteran that I think will be tremendous for this team. Someone who will play whatever role the team asks of him, starting with tough defense, and someone that can consistently hit the three pointer on offense to stretch the floor. If we had him, Bledsoe, and Booker, I'd say that's a back court rotation that could hold down the fort for us for the next 5 years.

I am 100% with McD. I won't have any complaints about Sarver as long as McD's at the helm.

I promise you OE, whatever relative of yours Ryan is holding hostage, I will get them back.

Jerry Colangelo ain't walkin' through those doors, INF.

... and he'd sign Gugliotta, L** L****** and trade for Penny Hardaway, then trade Kidd for Marbury, if he was.

I could care less about Jerry Colangelo. I know what good general managing looks like, and it isn't Ryan. Period.

And btw, the horror of the Morris Twins was 10X worse than LL, Bledsoe is right on par with Penny in terms of being miscast and injury prone.

The Morris twins became a lottery pick. LL became Chris Dudley, who was a godsend, as he allowed us to pass that kidney stone of a roster spot. Lotto pick > Chris Dudley. I think the math on that one is pretty simple.

I don't pretend to understand your rage. I guess that's why we tend to leave each other alone these days.

I watch/go to alot of Pacers games and alot of people like Hill's game. I do not. He disappears a alot out there. We already have one of those. See Bledsoe, Eric

[Indy]

I don't pretend to understand your rage.

I haven't seen any rage here in quite a while, and none from either of you.

[TOO]

Rage and just being of half-assed re-builds for the past decade are 2 different things. I think most of us here have similar thoughts to INF in regards to how laughable this situation has been.

[Superbone]

If you look at his avatar, you can see it is more disgust than rage.

[ShelC]

I had rage when Markieff was still on the roster. Now I just want to see what happens in the offseason.

[Cap]

If you look at his avatar, you can see it is more disgust than rage.

I love that av, by the way. Great fit.

Who knew INF had his own theme song.
