Ennis looked a lot better last night. He adjusted to the speed of the game and was a lot quicker, and more decisive. He's a legit PG, knows what he's doing out there and leads. It's pretty impressive to see.

You really see Archie's potential. He's like a grayhound out there running the court. He's best taking it right to the rim off the break and should be in the conversation for quickest guy with the ball. Very strong finish after getting out ahead on a steal. It's crazy because he's still such a kid o...

With Len out, Suns starting Ennis, Goodwin, Warren, Elias and Plum. Goodwin with a real aggressive drive that was too strong but he went right up for the OR and got his own miss for the score on the opening play. The offense is a lot smoother today, more decisive moves, Archies been driving a lot pu...

Really bullshit. I hope he's not one of these guys that's going to be plagued with stupid injuries early in his career. The one thing he needs is playing time. They really can't cast it or splint it? Watch this linger all year with him.

Yup, especially having a big like that in the East? You gotta make that move now.

Exactly. They won't win anything (so to some, the philosophy is maybe why bother) but the East is still pretty wide open and a team with Bledsoe, Wade, Deng (assuming they get him) Bosh and McB would be good enough for the playoffs and maybe a 2nd round appearance.

Maybe the thinking is, hey, Hornacek made 2 PGs work, let's give him 3 and see what he can do. It's less about having two PGs and more about having versatile guards that complement each other. I don't think I'd put John Wall and Tony Parker together. I don't think I'd put Rondo and Shaun Livingston...

I fear that could end up being the narrative. Noel becoming KG/Anthony Davis and Len becoming merely serviceable.

I think, overall, Len will be OK but won't be the impactful player Noel is. They're different players, and I think where Len can stand out is offensively.

As soon as LeBron went to CLE I thought Miami might make a play for Bledsoe, if they were intent on competing and spending money. They could do a lot worse than pay Bledsoe to put next to Wade and have a future with Bosh.

Len and Plumlee looked awful together. Chalk it up to the first game, being TOO big for summer league, the offense overall...I don't know. The first half in general for the team was bad. We were running a lot of halfcourt sets that just weren't working, the spacing wasn't there, GS was pressing up d...

I would be cool with the idea of being smallish with Deng at the 4. I've always liked the idea of him there and would rather go with him than Marion, of the two. With Deng it's all about health.

Very nice spin and floater in the lane by Ennis.

Marc Stein:

ESPN sources say Phoenix has tried to force its way into the Luol Deng bidding tonight. Miami has been pressing all day for deal with Deng

Sure, why not.

Archie's got the Leandro in him where he just barrels to the basket. He needs to change speeds and find an in-between game.

Still not sure about Ennis. He's not quick or strong enough to handle pressure defense.

Sarver...I don't know. He speaks well and says the right things but you can tell he's just a dick. No personality, doesn't seem enthusiastic about the team and while he gave McD props it felt more like forced praise because he was asked. You can see why people leave after a few years dealing with hi...

Offense is shaky right now. No flow. Goodwin had a real nice drive and finish...you could see his quickness. Still needs to really fill out and get stronger. Len really has a good feel for things offensively and makes his presence known defensively. You can see Ennis isn't overly quick and won't be ...

Mike Cairns is putting the info out there, he's a broadcaster in Cleveland. Those sound like the parameters of a potential deal, not the actual terms.

Well there's a 3way being worked on with Warriors getting picks, Wolves getting Tristan Thompson and Klay Thompson and Love going to Cleveland.

A guy like Ariza isn't getting less than 8. He defends, hits 3s. He's a 43% FG shooter and his worse years came in Houston because he was playing like he was a 1st/2nd option. I think he's found his niche now and playing on a good team, he'll benefit. And the deal decreases during the 4 years, start...

4 years 32 isn't an overpay, and less than what he was supposedly commanding. I don't know what Washington was or wasn't offering but they're dumb to let him walk for that, unless he didn't really want to be there.
