Around the League: 2018 Offseason

[Cap]

It says a lot about a player when they only play for your team for 1-2 years and yet you still vividly and fondly remember them. That is 2005-06 Boris Diaw. It's also 2004-05 Quentin Richardson, for example. Who are some other short-tenured memorable Suns?

Richard Dumas. For about five minutes there, he was amazing.

Same with Manning before the injury, or Miller before it was apparent he wasn't going to be able to make it at the NBA level.

[Superbone]

Would definitely take either but I think I like Teodosic more as a passer and because he brings something a little different in terms of skills and size.

get them both

That would be par for the course for McD. Am I right?

McDo would get them both, promise both of them the starting job, and then also trade for Kemba Walker on October 1.

This posting sequence was like watching a fastbreak alley-oop

Shel C gets the rebound, pass it to SDC, who throws a full court outlet pass right to Superbone, there goes the alley... and Marty slammed home!!!

Ha! Love the analogy.

First year of Jim Jackson

[Cap]

Greg Grant, Yuta Tubuse, and Tyler Ulis. Gotta love those teacup breeds. Socks was here for too many seasons to qualify.

Jackson Vroman, in case Uncle Abe is reading this.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I'd be fine with signing Beverley, but giving up anything more than a protected second rounder would be a bad move in my book. I think a lot of people will be surprised to see that he's not the same guy he was in 2016.

[ShelC]

To be fair, Boris was here 3 1/4 seasons.

I always loved Michael FInley as a player. Wish he would've had a longer career here. Always liked George McCloud, Rodney Rogers, Bo Outlaw and some of those late 90s/early 00s role players.

[The Bobster]

Tim Thomas.

[Charlie Smithy!]

Would have preferred to have kept Finley. And then have Nash 1996-forever.

[Split T]

But then we wouldn't have had Marion

Pull one thread and the whole thing comes apart

He'll always be a what if story to me.

Pat Burke

[Cap]

Mike McGee, mostly for one memorable shot.

Honorable mention to Luol Deng and Rajon Rondo.

[The Bobster]

Joel Kramer - the 6'7", 205 lb. fill-in at center in the 1979 playoffs
Charles Pittman - mainly because he lives down the block from me
Michael Holton - Free agent rookie who started most of his first year
Georgi Glouchkov - The Balkan Banger
Nick Vanos - R.I.P.

[Ring_Wanted]

I don't think Teodosic makes sense here. You can't have a starting lineup that includes Milos, Booker and Anderson. They would get feasted on defensively. I also think he's not a starting caliber PG in the NBA. I'd rather just run with Shaq.

Beverly, on the other hand, makes a ton of sense from a contract and skill-set perspective.

Some people were speculating that Beverly was going to be released by the Clippers, but West was quoted in an interview that Beverly was safe. Not sure what exactly to expect. I would like Beverly on this team, but don't want McD to overpay, if West is just trying to inflate his value.

Truth is I can't decide between Teodosic and Beverly. Teodosic's passing would be awesome for the kids, but he can't guard a chair. Beverly's 3D style makes a lot of sense (George Hill could be a target too). In any case, you shouldn't pay more than say Daniels and one or two second round picks.

The biggest Suns contingent ever in one Hall of Fame class is being inducted today. It's on NBA TV if you weren't aware. I'm looking forward to checking it out.

Charlie Scott
Jason Kidd
Steve Nash
Grant Hill
Rick Welts

In fact, we are the first franchise EVER with four former players being inducted into the same class.
