Re: Around the League: Week 19 3/2-3/8

I think they had to pay that money anyways, they were beneath the salary floor. So they payed McGee instead of their current players splitting the money.

Re: Suns News: Week 18 2/23-3/1

If you look at the Warriors and Blazers, they both had to draft multiple stars using top-ten 1st round picks in successive years. Warriors drafted Curry, Klay, Barnes, etc. and Blazers drafted Lillard and Aldridge (well, draft-day trade, but same thing). This is why that Lakers pick is going to hau...

Re: College Basketball: 2014-15

I think he'd be pretty solidly in the 1st. He's a great athlete and great defender. He's got a little kawhi potential, although his shot needs more work than kawhi's did. He's got some ability to create and handles the ball decently. I think he's a mid first to late first kinda guy. I really like hi...

Re: 2015 NBA Draft

I think it depends on the money. Most likely some team is gonna give him 8 million a year, I'd pass if it came to that.

Re: Game Day: Suns (29-25) @ Twolves (11-42), Fri 2/20/15

DRPM is supposed to account for that. It's essentially saying GS defense improves by roughly 5 pts/100 possessions with Green on the court. If anything, the fact that David Lee usually replaces him is probably the biggest factor if his numbers are inflated. I haven't seen enough games to say how goo...

Butler is plenty big enough to play the 3.

Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath

Fail. Agreed. At the very least they still had until early summer to cash in the pick for a better return. But if MCD was really thinking like this, why not atach it to Bledsoe to get Love, or with Tucker/Thomas to get Greg Monroe, or some like this. I mean, if you think your premier asset is close...

Re: Around the League: Week 17 2/16-2/22

I get so tired of labels sometimes - there are a lot of instances of players who play positions that doesn't fit the stereotypical mold and do it quite well. No, Russell Westbrook doesn't remind anyone of John Stockton, but he's a great basketball player. One of the 10 best players in the league. T...

Re: 2015 NBA Draft

I think this draft looks like a fairly typical draft. Not too strong, not weak either. I'm not an expert though. Okafor is going to be good, I think he's at least Al Jefferson, probably better. I really like D'Angelo Russell and Kristaps Porzingis. They'd be in my top 3 if I was picking up there. I ...

Re: 2015 Trade Deadline

Why didn't utah just take Reggie Jackson? I guess he probably gets in the way of exum' development. He's better than a late first though.

Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath

My thoughts on everything that happened. I'm intrigued and in wait and see mode. I like knight and he's a better fit as a sg than dragic. Dragic is a better pg but with bled on the team he just wasn't ever gonna play pg full time here. I'm not too concerned about losing plumlee or Ennis. Ennis migh...

Re: Favorite Current Sun

I don't think he necessarily has a low IQ, it's not great by any means, but it appears low because of his slightly irrational confidence in himself. Which I'm ok with when it means he takes a few bad shots because his confidence is very valuable to his game. It's a little frustrating when he thinks ...
