Re: Game Day: Suns (22-50) @ Celtics (46-26), Fri 3/24/17

*We got what we deserved but McD did pretty well out of the Miami exchange regardless, so kudos there. Slightly tangential but it's moves like this and drafting Booker that gives me a bit of comfort in extending McD this off-season, even in view of the barry balls-up that was Knight. Stability goes ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (22-50) @ Celtics (46-26), Fri 3/24/17

Praise McD because he got a few draft picks right? What about signing Chandler and further stunting Lens playing time and development? Extending Bledsoe, extending Knight? The Dragic/Thomas fiasco? He's drafted well, Booker looks to be the face of the franchise in the future, but lets not act like ...

Re: The Earl Watson Report

And it's for that reason I want Ball - if we can't win, we may as well have a whole lot of fast paced, high scoring fun in the process.

FYI I'd probably take Ball if we get the #1 pick as our hopes of a ring, at this stage, go as far as Booker goes...Feed the man as best you can in other words!

Re: Suns News: Week 21 3/13-3/19

We're not a joke. Our moves haven't worked out. Blanks and Babby were a joke. The Knicks FO is a joke. Dragic, frye, Morri, Bledsoe and now knight...There's plenty of smoke from the Ryan-doesn't-know-how-roster construction / player-management-works fire, and that is a legit cause for concern. One ...

None more than 13 games under .500. Interesting. There is very possibly a d'Antoni / Nash / Harden effect happening with Dragic: Career Averages Pre 2016 - 2017 (Pts / Rbd / Ast) James Johnson - 9 Seasons - 6.4 / 3.2 / 1.7 Wayne Ellington - 9 Seasons - 7.1 / 2.1 / 1.1 Dion Waiters - 6 Seasons - 12....

Russell Westbrook has 58 points but the Thunder -lose- to the Blazers.

Re: Around the League: Week 18 2/20 - 2/26

I just don't see how you could possibly not give the MVP to somebody who averages over 30/10/10, averages a -triple double-, and gets at least 30-40 trip-dubs in a single season. That is completely insane to put up numbers like that. I can't fathom giving it to some other player whose numbers acros...

The National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player (MVP) is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given since the 1955–56 NBA season "to the best performing player of the regular season". Pretty vague definition but you'd have to give it RW on that basis as there is n...

That doesn't necessarily make him a good option, but he's an option.
If I was going to think up a name for an NBA journeyman, Ron Baker would be an excellent start.

Game Day: Suns (18-39) @ Bulls (28-29), Fri 2/24/17

It's funny - center is the one position where this team is currently in good shape. Chandler is a pretty good start starter, Len is more than adequate as a backup and Williams is a great third string center. Subtract Chandler and you start having issues though. The irony of this is something else -...

Re: Game Day: Suns (18-39) @ Bulls (28-29), Fri 2/24/17

My mistake, I misread the link but either way salaries last year were set with the expectation of a $108m cap this year. Because it's now lower than expected, as is the '18-'19 cap, salaries should also be lower. I'm not proposing to break the bank for the guy but I'd expect to match whatever the m...

Re: Game Day: Suns (18-39) @ Bulls (28-29), Fri 2/24/17

The cap is going down next season from $108m to $102m so there should be some downward pressure on salaries by default. Just going down from where it was projected to be. This year's cap was 94 million, so it's still going up to the projected 102 million. Len is getting 15+ million, he might get 18...

Re: Game Day: Suns (18-39) @ Bulls (28-29), Fri 2/24/17

Is there really a team that would pay Len more than 15 million per year? I guess the Nets would sign almost anyone, but they have a lot of candidates to sign ahead of Len on all positions. There are a lot of solid centers in the league. Mozgov and Mahinmi got 16 million per least off-season, so yes...
