Nice video that shows a little of what Jackson can bring to the team. If I had to pick our teams top 4 weaknesses, they'd be ball movement, shooting, defense, and star power. I think Jackson can provide 3 of the 4.

Re: If the Suns have to do a trade, where

Do we really want to add another lesser of nba brothers?

JK, Willie seems like a decent player, I haven't seen him play much though.

Side note, I thought Willie and Juan were brothers, am I correct in that assumption or am I just making things up?

Re: Around the League: Week 10 12/26-1/1

You can take the good part out because they were separate deals. There was no need to make any other trade besides the dragic one. Which in hindsight was the only one we should have made. At the time, I was indifferent on the IT trade and wasn't too excited about the Knight trade but was willing to ...

Re: Game Day: Heat (10-25) @ Suns (10-25), Tues 1/3/17

Missed the game, reading on here would make it seem like booker was terrible tonight. Is the box score misleading? 27 points on 9/19 shooting looks pretty good. Chriss also looks like he had a good game. Looking at the standings, we're actually 8-4 against the East this year, but 3-21 against the We...

Re: 2017 NBA Draft Prospect Discussion

We already have a starting SF in Warren. Why draft another one, and especially one who can't shoot? I think Jackson will be a better basketball player than Warren, but there is no reason it needs to be warren vs Jackson. Once he adds some strength, he'll be able to play 2-4 and defend those positio...

Re: Around the League: Week 10 12/26-1/1

Can we talk about how ridiculous of a season Isaiah Thomas is having? I knew he was playing well, but I just looked up his stats and he's 5th in the league in scoring at nearly 28 ppg. He gets to the line 9 times a game and hits at 90%. He's also averaging 6 assists a game and just over 2 turnovers....

Re: 2017 NBA Draft Prospect Discussion

Ya, the lack of a jump shot is concerning. But the rest of his game is so complete that it'd be hard to pass on him. We don't want another Kawhi Leonard scenario. Everyone passed on him because he couldn't shoot and now he's a top 5 player in the league. Is he the next Kawhi or is he the next Kidd-G...

Re: If the Suns have to do a trade, where

I doubt they offer mcdermott and their 1st. I can't imagine it taking more than a 1st plus Rondo. Although I'd love if they included Valentine. He hasn't done anything this year, but I liked him a lot before the draft. What would we do with Rondo? I can't imagine us having any use for him or him hav...

Re: 2017 NBA Draft Prospect Discussion

Blake Griffin, Dwight Howard, Shaq, Tim Duncan, LeBron James... Just a few players who shot under 70% from the FT line at some point in their careers. none of them are point guards. the players comparable to him in the nba are elfrid payton and rajon rondo.

Could Lonzo be a 6'6 Nash? Right now he's third on my very early list behind Fultz and Josh Jackson. Thoughts on Malik Monk? I haven't given him much thought cuz he just screamed 2 guard in a 1's body, but he's been so good this year, that he's worth a look. Still not sure a Monk/Booker backcourt w...

I'd like to see Giles do something before I go throwing him a top 10 nod. I wouldn't draft him right now. Just commenting on what I think he could be. I can envision a scenario where I'd draft Giles top 10. He'd have to prove to be healthy and that his #1 highschool ranking is still valid after all...

Booker scored, but he had an easy dunk for Chriss if he passes right there.

It's well past december 15th and Brandon Knight is still on the damn roster. February 23rd, 2017 is the date you want to look at as that's the trading deadline. How many other trades have you heard about since the 15th? How many other teams have a player that needs to be shipped out as bad as Knigh...

Re: Suns News: Week 9 12/19-12/25

You can't expect much back for Knight. That trade I listed isn't far off from what we can probably get for a bench chucker guard on a multi-year contract. We might be able to get a 2nd-round pick with the deal, but no way do we get a 1st in any Brandon Knight trade. If we did, it'd be a McDo Miracl...
