Re: Around the League: August 2014

I don't really know what to make of Monroe. Is he an elite big man, or capable of being one? What is he great at? He's kind of a thick, plodding, ground-based PF, no? Doesn't shoot outside much, right? Does he have great offensive skills in the post? Is he a great rebounder? I'm honestly asking. I d...

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

It's so obvious which articles are prompted by leaks from Bledsoe's agent, and which are leaked or prompted by the Suns org. Bledsoe's agent: "relationship is irreparable", "using free agency against me," etc. Suns org: "Haven't heard from him", "nobody thinks he i...

Re: Around the League: August 2014

Have any of you read about this court decision? Ed O'Bannon and others sued the NCAA for basically not letting the players make any money while they are in school, for not owning their own name and image for marketing purposes, for having to live by relatively modest means while the NCAA makes money...

Re: Around the League: August 2014

The point is that had Cavs stayed strong, the Wolves would have taken a package without Wiggins. How do you know that? The Bulls, and potentially the Warriors, had better offers on the table. When the Cleveland scenario started I thought Waiters, Thompson, Bennett and picks would be the price, but ...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason

Thanks for the great scouting report. I still think he is an interesting prospect, though I wonder if we could have gotten him with a later pick.

Re: Around the League: August 2014

I like a lot of what Simmons says there. I really don't value Wiggins nearly as much as INF does. He may end up being good, but i have a huge fandom for Love and think he is one of the very best players in the NBA right now. I think he is going to be amazing in Cleveland.

I think bad teams should play their rookies a bunch of minutes and let them grow. Why wouldn't you play Wiggins 36 minutes a game? Why not start Lavine and Bennett and see what they can do?

Re: Around the League: August 2014

I can't believe they are letting Flip be both GM and Coach. Haven't teams learned not to let coaches ruin a team with their short-term thinking? Especially ones who haven't really done well at GMing or at coaching?

Re: Around the League: August 2014

With Marion and Ray Allen, along with Love, that team looks great. Pencil them in for the Finals right now. Done and done.

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

This Bledsoe negotiation shows how dumb players and agents really are. They think they deserve the sun, moon, and stars after playing well for 40 games. The whole idea of a "max contract" as a bragging right or a proof that a player is good, is silly. I have heard people say they wish ther...

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

Everywhere that I have seen articles or posts about this situation, the user comments are like 99% in favor of not raising our offer and sticking to the 4/48. Nobody wants to max this guy out.

Re: Around the League: August 2014

I feel like the league as a whole is cooling on Faried. He had a great first year or two but doesn't seem to be properly expanding his game or fixing his shortcomings.

Re: Around the League: August 2014

Love's stretch ability and rebounding don't trump Wiggins' off-the-charts athleticism, defensive prowess, and ability to get his own shot, IMO. I guess it just comes down to, do you think Wiggins is going to be a really good NBA player in the next 5-6 years? I think he sounds pretty good, but you j...

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

Xylus: There is no way that he'd take the QO, not with his injury history. Waiting him out is the smartest option. You might say that every day he isn't signed will just make him madder, but I'd say that the damage is already done. Might as well stick to our guns at this point. The current offer on ...

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

I don't understand why some team would give Bledsoe that deal knowing that we will 100% match it. What's the point? It might endear them to Bledsoe and his crappy agent, but it will make the Suns annoyed and could hurt that team in future negotiations with the Suns. No real upside if you ask me.
