Well this is pleasant. 15-2.

Yeah, bro talking about arguably the best Sun of all time!

It depends. If he can count on his teammates for help, or if it's later in the shot clock, sure, he can switch out onto guards on the perimeter. But a switch early in the shot clock, in an iso situation? Certainly better than, say, Chandler, or other prototypical centers, can. But no, it's not what...

Also saying Bender is an awful perimeter defender is weird because that seems to be his best skill atm. I think defending 4 and 5s on the perimeter, he is good at. But we seem to want him to switch onto 1s and 2s and guard them there too. He just isn't fast enough to do that (especially when it nee...

Can't argue with that.

We received a second for taking on Troy Daniels's contract. That was $3.75m. I think the teams with cap space are playing hardball. And teams that are competing may like Chandler, but certainly not at that $$$. IDK. I don't much care. This is what I prefer to see on the court. I've lost interest in...

If I could trade Bled, Dudley, Chandler and three seconds for expiring deals, I would. If as a GM that's all you can muster from those three, you need to get fired. Denver gives you crap and their '18 for Bledsoe if you put him on the table. If those two are healthy come the deadline, there will be...

Yeah, I'm watching Watson's post game interview and a few things: I applaud him for making them run sprints for every turnover they had for the past 2 games with the goal of improving their focus and mental toughness. What I don't follow him on is that he says after this brutal workout they would e...

Seriously, I'd trade anyone on this roster not named Josh Jackson for that kid.

I'm sure Denver would like Booker in return. Time is yours.

Whoa! Did I miss a trade?

Preseason's not over, but I have some awards to hand out nonetheless: Most Fun - Josh Jackson. It's fun to watch the ascension of a superstar. I actually love his high-arcing J. 3 Biggest Disappointments. -- Eric Bledsoe. I understand he has more to lose and less to gain from summer league and that ...

I wouldn't mind dealing Bledsoe to make room for Mike James to take over.

That's Donovan Mitchell money, yo.

It’s not just that Benders shot isn’t falling. It’s that he does nothing with the ball when he gets it. Once in a blue moon he shoots a three. He just passes to the next guy. He doesn’t cut, he doesn’t dribble, he has no sense of offensive aggression and he hasn’t got a clue what to do with the bal...

If the Clips get off to a rough start, I'd throw them in as possible Bledsoe suitors. Especially if Beverley starts making noise about wanting to get paid.

A lot to agree with here. When I heard that the prescription for our turnover bug was believed by our staff to be "more speed", I couldn't help but hang my head. The problem is clearly not that we don't play fast enough. That's not what a good coach sounds like.

Who has a better shot at the ASG, Alex Len or Mike James?

I would not be surprised if Coach Watson feels a bit of heat. 32 turnovers is embarrassing for any team at this level. Management may not care about winning, but I'm sure they don't want to see us getting killed every other night. There hasn't been a head coach firing in over a year. The league is d...

Funky stat of the game: Bledsoe was +12 in 14 minutes, while Lillard was +12 in 21 minutes. Encouraging for those of us who prefer not to tank. The team went as the point guard went tonight. Bledsoe and James were great, while Ulis nearly sank us. Jackson started the third in place of Chandler: Ble...

https://twitter.com/sbordow/status/913515813184745473 Ooops :lol: :lol: Wasn't there several reports like this about Len a few years ago? Just saying. I remember that Dudley said last year that Ulis and Len would be the biggest surprises, based on their performance in training camp. I thought Bende...

I tend to think Bled won't play more than 30 MPG, because Ulis will soak up close to 24 on a normal night. I also think there's a chance we win significantly more games than currently projected, even in a tough conference, simply because of the injection of Josh Jackson, the vastly diminished role o...
