Re: Suns sign Thaddeus Young

How pathetic is it that the first #30 I thought of was Maciej Lampe? I need a life.

Re: Phx-Suns.net Vet League is up and running

Man, I've taken a nosedive recently. Half my team is out seemingly on a nightly basis, and that's even with LeBron and Kawhi being surprisingly healthy. Thanks for nothing Dominayton!

Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/8/24 - 1/14/24)

I don't really think Kuminga is anything special. He occasionally makes a nice play or has a good game, and he's been a bit better lately. But I just don't see "it" from him; I don't think he is destined to be anything special. His best case to me is Andrew Wiggins lol Yep, sounds about r...

Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/8/24 - 1/14/24)

Warriors will have to throw in at least one first, or maybe even Kuminga or Moody to get off of that Wiggins deal. I'd let the Warriors rot with that deal unless they really pony up.

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-18) @ Lakers (19-19), Thurs 1/11/24

Only caught the first half but it was nice seeing the team fully engaged for the most part. Kinda pissed I went to bed and missed the Beal eruption, but oh well. One thing that annoyed the hell out of me was Reggie continually making excuses for the Lakers, saying they've been injured and the travel...

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-17) @ Clippers (22-13), Mon 1/8/24

I can't see Vogel lasting the rest of this month if they continue to play like this. I think he's a good coach, but not for the structure of this team. On paper, the off-season additions looked great, and now guys like KBD, Eubanks and Yuta are completely unplayable. The team needs to lean into its ...

Re: Game Day (Preseason): Suns (3-1) @ Lakers (2-3), Thurs 10/19/23

I watched the first quarter and then went to bed and woke up and did a double take at the final score. Talk about a ridiculously deep team. This should hopefully help keep the starters minutes down overall. I can't even remember how many times last year Book and CP3 would play 35+ minutes in January...

Re: Phx-Suns.net Vet League is up and running

I know you're all craving for my unsolicited draft analysis, so here you go.. In draft order. 1. Superbone - Hard to screw up with Jokic being your first round pick. A lot of good players, but your lacking rebounds and could struggle with defensive stats. A lot of guys who should play pretty much e...

Re: All Things Ayton

Per results and especially per his draft status, I really feel like deandre's self-imposed nickname should definitely be shelved, if not at least outwardly. Cuz I feel like it doesn't show a lot of self-awareness, on his part. But, I do hope, if not just for deandre himself, that he'll put in the w...

Re: Phx-Suns.net Vet League is up and running

I'm on EST and any weeknight with a reasonable start time should work. I can make Sunday work too, but Friday and Saturday would be tough. Always willing to auto draft too, as I seem to do that most years anyways.

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News

Funny enough, I think the ideal fit with this new star-studded lineup would be Rubio if he can fully make it back from the ACL injury. Solid defender, elite distributor, won't be needed to score much, but can keep a defense honest

Re: How Would You Rebuild the Suns?

So basically our 2024 championship hopes rest on JeremyG being right about Ayton and Chris Paul staying healthy. "CAN'T WAIT!." Probably the largest chance of this outcome would be if CP3 suffered his yearly injury earlier in the season, like in December 2023, and then sat until April and...

It will be interesting to see how the Suns navigate the Shamet Situation now that Williams is gone. How many more years is he under contract?
Pretty sure he has next year as the last guaranteed year in his contract, so he's essentially an expiring deal. I could be wrong though.

Re: 2023 Coaching Search

I actually think KD and Booker don't want a "player's coach". They're all about the game, same with CP3, and would probably welcome somewhat of a hard-ass who holds everyone accountable and pushes everyone. Will that eventually wear out its welcome? Of course. But for the next 3 years of K...

Ocarina of time was amazing. Ocarina of Time is one of my all-time favorites. You will not be disappointed in BOTW or TOTK. Bot...

Re: Video Games

The chasm area in TOTK is driving me nuts. It took some getting used to with some of the new features, but I'm enjoying it more and more, especially as I build up strength. I love the game, just wish it had come out during the winter when I'm stuck in the house!

I have a feeling Ishbia is going for the home run of Meyers and Lue coming in together, with Jones still being onboard as well.

Re: Monty Williams Fired

I wonder if Ishbia goes for it all and tries to lure Bob Meyers and Kerr. Will never happen, but I can see him trying to give it a shot at least.
