I don’t think we’ll make a deal for a PG since they now plan on keeping Shaq. That’s three point guards already.

I liked Big Sauce, but he wasn't gonna play...I hope he can find somewhere to get minutes

He could’ve been our backup center once we trade Tyson at the trade deadline.

Next week: Lakers sign Melo.

The whole "constant movement of the ball and player" scares me a little bit. Isn't that going to wear the players out more than SSOL?

He was Watson's guy. I'm wondering how invested McD is at this point. We saw Bender there so they're clearly still working on getting the most out of him. If we're not committed to Chriss, move him for anything. Just don't let it fester like we've done in the past. Igor is probably waiting to see w...

Bridges left the game with an injury (knee contusion).

Any word on Okobo? It was an eye injury. http://arizonasports.com/story/1596285/suns-notebook-ayton-underperforms-okobo-injured-bridges-revenge-game/amp/ Second-round pick Elie Okobo got hit in the eye in the first quarter. He only played one minute and would not return. “Hopefully nothing serious,...

Hope Ayton sits the next game out. I'd rather see Jack Cooley out there hustling and seeing the fun crowd reactions to anything he does than a repeat of yesterday's performance. It would help feature Bridges as well who had a pretty good game and was very active all game yesterday. His performance ...

So many frustrating things on that final play. 1. The no call for Smith's foul on Bridges. 2. Bridges should have stayed at the three point line and let Shaq drive it to the hoop like he had been doing. 3. Shaq should have dumped it off behind him to Ayton, who was in great position to dunk it to se...

I don’t want Len anywhere near Ayton.

Do you want Knight anywhere near Okobo?

I don’t have a problem giving Knight one more year to prove he can be a starting point guard in this league. If not, we waive/stretch him and free up more cap space.

I don’t want Len anywhere near Ayton.

Wait, does that mean Booker’s contract could actually be $190 million also?

Do you think he could be All-NBA, DPOY, or MVP in 2018-19?

No? Then don’t worry about it.

If that includes all three All-NBA teams, then yes it is certainly possible.

OK, guys. I billyve this joke has run it's course.

You mean "its course" (see the Suns news thread).

We only save 700,000 waiving him as his contract is partially guaranteed. It would be dumb to waive him

The question was whether there is an option to sign him to a 2-way deal, thus opening a roster spot.

Can we sign Reed to a 2-way contract and stash him in the G-League?

Doesn't he already have an NBA contract though? I'm not sure how any of this stuff actually works.

Not if we waive him before the guarantee date and he clears waivers. Then he is an unrestricted free agent.

76ers? Oh we better bench Jackson's sorry *** and start Bridges for this game. You know Bridges is gonna want to destroy these guys! You think he holds a grudge over being traded for Zhaire? I’m not sure taking it personally makes much sense for a role player like Bridges. His impact on offense lar...

This new article gives some great insight into the way Ayton thinks and what his goals are:

https://www.yahoo.com/amphtml/sports/de ... 15065.html

Loved that play but I definitely held my breath watching him take that fall lol. You and me both. I was yelling at my computer. Don't do that s*** in summer league, Dre! He beat both Reed and Jackson down the court. It was really impressive. Yeah, it didn't look like he could get to it but after a ...

I can’t wait to see what the offense will look like with a competent PG running it.

Is Steve Nash coming out of retirement or something?
