I hope Magic still feels this way about Knight

Sure Magic, I'll give you Knight if you give us the pick this year if it falls in the top three. If it doesn't, it still goes to the Sixers, so no biggie.

Hardem, Gordon and Lou....god damn.

D'Antoni must be happy as hell right about now.

I wonder if that Lakers deal was on the table already with Buss and Kupchak.

Lakers are smart...going into full development (tank) mode. Suns could learn a thing or two. I guess they're content to be stuck in mediocrity for eternity. #acceleratetheprocess #operationtradethevets

I can never tell if you're taking the piss or what. That PJ Tucker, a real difference maker.

all the clippers need is a reliable 3 and D guy at the wing, and for paul to come back soon.

clippers needs somebody to defend the lebrons, the durants and the kahwis.

Yeah it beats the hell out of what the Great Steve Kerr did for him while he was in Phoenix.

A player like Lou Williams added at the trade deadline would have been real nice, in the day.

If they meet the Warriors in the playoffs it could be epic.
What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.

Why don't Detroit and Brooklyn swap Drummond and Lopez?

Magic trades Lou Will less than 24 hours after he's in charge and McD's had Knight for 2 years now and still nothing.

There's just different ways teams do things and that's why the Lakers have 16 championships while the Suns have 0.

You need to create a vision and stick with it. No pussyfootin around like the Suns have been doing for the last few years. Either you want to win or you want to grow. Trying to do both at the same time is not feasible unless you've created a winning product first like the spurs. Then you can develop players within the system during sustained success

To be fair, Lou is playing so much better than Knight is, there isn't a real comparison to be made.

Apples and oranges. Knight is considered a starter (or was, at least) on a max deal for 4 more years while Lou is making half the money and his deal is up after next season. And he also knows and has embraced his role as a scoring guard off the bench.
