Not just that, but he seemed in control of the ballgame, shitty big men or not. The Suns might have ended up getting a bargain on that 5-year deal.

The Morri, on the other hand...

Wow, if you look back at that contract/trade now, we absolutely fleeced the Lakers. Four, **4**, draft picks for a guy who was 38 years old and then played essentially one full season's worth of games for them in 3 years? They got massacred. I love it. That was Steve's last great assist to our team...

Cool with me!

It’s nice to see you again v9. I, YGR, am from Okinawa, Japan. You were always nice to me. Thank you. I think I gave you and other moderators unpleasant time when almost end of your moderator and I am sorry. I wanted apologized to you that time but you were already gone. I think the one of the reas...

My issue with Cubby is that he just made things so unpleasant that he started to drive people away. Like me, for instance. One issue was the spam, like the posting of tens, or even hundreds of threads just to drown out conversation. It's along the same principles as a DDOS attack on a website. But t...

Mori -- thanks again for resurrecting the community. We don't have everyone here, but IIRC we seem to have most of the old crowd here.

It's good to hang here with you, Swingy, Cap and the rest of the crew.

Interesting map, confirms many things we've suspected about the shallowness of the Phoenix fan base...

I think if there's a trade to be made, it'll be something like 2 or 3 for 1, with Ennis, Green and Tolliver the most likely to go first - something's got to give in that backcourt and any trade will likely be for a 4, IMO. Who that 4 is, I have no idea. I don't think Warren needs d league. He is pu...

Can we please have the function to ignore INF mori? Incredible. INF -- I love your posts and often feel informed indeed -- but maybe it's time to pull back on the sarcasm a bit. You're better than that. A lot better. Saucy -- GREAT to have you back around. But let's be nicer to INF. We all know tha...

Many of the young guards will spend a LOT of time in Bakersfield. No other way to put it. IMHO, I can also see the Suns dealing Tucker if Warren is making progress in the d-league. For a good 3-and-D player, his contract is very reasonable. If Colangelo was still in charge, I'd say he's gone for sur...

Five days before players' official reporting day, Bledsoe signed his first major contract with an average salary of $14 million a year, a midpoint between the average salaries of the Suns' initial four-year, $48 million offer and Bledsoe's five-year, $80 million vision. He will make $13 million thi...

I wasn't sure what to think of the contract at first, but I think I like it. Hear me out. What is Bledsoe's trade value at 14mm/year? Not all that great. However, I suspect that the contract will be front-loaded, at the max this year but declining every year afterwards. Assuming that this is the con...

I suspect that they'll sign Bledsoe and auction him off to the highest bidder once he's locked in. If only ... Edit -- for whatever you think that's worth, this is what Traxxe over at RealGM has been saying about the Suns' plans. Alternatively, I love the idea of a CHA trade with Bledsoe and Vonleh...

Just beat me to it. Let's see what comes out of it. I suspect that they'll sign Bledsoe and auction him off to the highest bidder once he's locked in. Edit: I'm curious to see how they handle the possibility above. Trade kickers or no-trade deals? I just hope they have enough money left to max Dragi...

Great to see you Swingy! The place just isn't the same without you around.

I wonder if the league is taking this too far. Levenson went no further than something that is done by many businesses, segment the population and target the highest revenue-yielding group. Indeed, he even called out the racist attitudes of his target audience. I do not believe that private business...

Info's always appreciated, thanks.

I bet that the Wiggins rumor is what the Suns are proposing as a starting position. Let's see what comes out of it. I can see the deal getting done, with the Wolves taking more than a pound of flesh out of the Suns. But -- wouldn't this be exactly the kind of many-for-one trade upwards that the Suns...

Kerrsed, thanks for the heads-up. I've been monitoring RealGM as well for the insider info. Getting Wiggins and LaVine for Bledsoe + Green + picks seems too good to be true, though.

I'd be willing to blow both the LAL and MIN picks to make this happen.
