Probably, I'd replace Len with Alan Williams, I really don't think we're going to bring back Len
Could call, how did I forget about Williams?

It's like they've given up. Come on, there's six minutes left. At least try to lose by a respectable margin.

There goes all the great vibes they had going recently. When does Bender get back?

Surgery was February 8th, initial time frame was 4-6 weeks. So anytime now.

They're trying to get the good vibes back.

Yeah, that late run might have rescued some of the vibes. It was really fun for a few minutes. Two passes that didn't connect, one from Booker to Warren in transition and one from Bledsoe to Williams, were the difference.

So much for dominating the Lakers.
Hopefully Watson keeps this tank headed in the right direction.

Question:
If we don't get Ball or Fultz, but the Lakers do, would you take DeAngelo Rusell out of their hands, and what would you consider a fair deal?
If he came along in a bargain deal, I think most of us would take a flier on him, so that's why I ask for your maximum offer to get him. Talented guy, fits in our timeline perfectly, friends with Booker.

Two Suns make Shaqtin' a Fool: Barbosa for celebrating Dudley's miss, and the Gorilla for his drumstick dive.

This is what happens when you forget we are still terrible and think we're gonna roast teams with a similar record. Heh.

I'd like to get the back story on this because it doesn't look good to me.

Because he's eating candy? I heard Odom used to eat skittles non-stop during games. Of course Marshawn Lynch is famous for it. I don't know that this is a big deal.

Not the end of the world, but not a good look. Also, nutrition, IMO, is a sign of discipline. We've seen guys like Nash, Dudley, Grant Hill talk about it and how it changed their careers. Then there's this:

Suns have been really fun to watch lately but the effort just wasn't there tonight. Absolutely got carved on D tonight. They were letting guys blow by them and were late on just about every rotation.
Love watching Jones Jr catch a pass because there is always a chance he dunks it.

I'll admit that if this was Bledsoe or Booker I wouldn't it mind as much, but Knight...?
Having a sweet tooth is one thing, but being unable to manage it to the point that you look like a fiend on the bench digging for your favorite is not a good look at all when you're dramatically underperforming your contract.

I'd definitely take him, but I don't see the Lakers giving him up. He can easily slide to the 2 if they land Fultz or ball. A Fultz-Russell-Ingram-Randle-Zubac core is pretty nice, with Clarkson and Nance off the bench.
