Wrong team, JC.
Good catch. Thx/ Fixed.
You still have them sitting Dirk.

I hear you & share this concern.

It is interesting to compare Devin & Klay's rookie seasons: http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... 4=&p5=&p6=
Go Suns!

More similar than I would have expected (when you consider the games/minutes played).

The two are inextricably linked.

As much if a bitch as Kief is the Suns failed I their ability to handle things with him if new coach can fix that isn't a bad thing

Exactly. You showcase him by saying, "Look, I believe in you and care about you. I want you to succeed. And I want to succeed too. You clearly don't want to be here. Let's help each other out. I will make you the center of our offense, like you were last year. And you play your ass off, on all aspects of the game. I guarantee that will get you a new home; a better fit for you. And hopefully that gets me a full-time coaching gig. This is me and you against the world. FOE."
