For a guy that was probably the most active GM in the league his first year and a half he has been strangely quiet since last year's trade deadline. Maybe a little gun shy after getting worked in the Knight deal? Maybe he wanted to try and limit turnover and build a foundation finally? Only his foundation kind of sucks.
Go Suns!

It has become clear to me that he's average at analyzing talent but sucks ass at assembling a team.

Maybe this isn't dispassionate enough, but as someone who watches every game, I don't want to watch another minute of Markieff, let alone another 30ish games. Return be damned.

Whats worse is there was an article with quotes from Watson about how Booker is going to have to adjust to limited minutes when Knight and Price get back. I really don't want to watch another minute of Kieff, Knight or Price.

I created a thread for this to keep things a little less murky.

P.J. is going to stay. Wouldnt be surprised if we snuck a Mirza deal in though.
