I guess no Jimmer in Phoenix, then. Yet.

Hey Phoeknicks, love seeing you posting here on the site!

I keep trying to get "wanggi" to come over from SpursTalk to here, but he never does. He was another dude who posted at the old site. Oh well.

No need to be diplomatic, Ring, I won't take things out of context. I won't disagree, then, I'll just say that I don't take kindly to *limitations* on such. I second the suggestion that Swing should be allowed his closing arguments, if nothing else. This discussion is his discussion. I also want to...

I've been talking to the mods this weekend about the icky "Free Agency" thread that devolved into personal attacks and name-calling. They have given me their input, and I have considered the issue myself. The mods aren't in 100% consensus about the issue, but there is definitely concern ab...

Nostalgia and great memories aside, when it comes to 2014 Steve Nash, the Lakers and theirf ans REALLY want to be rid of him and his contract. We shouldn't trade with them and take Nash unless they are giving us some really good assets to go with him. The best thing about trading Bledsoe to the Lake...

And as for the icky thread that got out of control, the mods and I are talking it over now and will let everyone know if there's any action on it going forward.

v9, I agree that being a mod is a thankless job. I appreciate everybody who works to moderate the site. Do you all know who your mods are? Here's a list. I think they do a great job and deserve everyone's thanks and appreciation.

The mods are:

I "locked" this thread. It has become toxic. I read through the whole thing, and it's almost funny to see it escalate, because it really is much ado about nothing. I think people are just in a bad mood for some reason, or maybe it's just old bad blood rising to the surface. There are lots ...

We have said this before, but the worst thing about maxing out Bledsoe isn't even that contract itself. It's that it would make it 100% necessary to also max out Dragic when his contract ends. You can't pay Bledsoe the max and then NOT do the same for Dragic, who by all accounts is a better player r...

Did he (Shavlik) really say hateful things about gays / Jason Collins? If so, he goes from a guy who's essentially dead weight or a waste of a roster spot, to a guy who I would actively oppose having on the team.

I like Bledsoe and would rather keep him, but if he wants that much, let's show him the door. Maybe I'd do an S&T but I don't want to take on tons of salary, either. Maybe a team will S&T us a decent PF for him? (Remember, it has to be a team where he WANTS to play to make an S&T work. N...

The thing about Boozer is, he looks good on paper but every Bulls fan I read online HATES him. It sounds like he's a frustrating player to have on your team. Energetic, can still score some, but horrible on D and can't really be played down the stretch in a big game. So he becomes essentially useles...

The Suns FO has cleverly waited this out so that Bledsoe has the minimum leverage. Almost every team, including losers like the Lakers, are now out of cap space. And we now have Bledsoe's position heavily covered in case he bolts. No reason to max him out.

Ish was better than I thought he'd be. But I won't miss him.

Paging sdc...

The question is which, if any teams, fall off? I don't see too many teams in the West struggling. You know, barring injuries, the Clippers, Thunder, Spurs will be there. I don't see the Blazers, Warriors, Rockets sliding. The Grizzlies are still there and even the Mavs improved. I don't know where ...

So we're looking at heading into the season with... Bledsoe/IT2/Ennis Dragic/Green/Goodwin Tucker/Warren Keef/Mook/Tolliver Plumlee/Len I guess we're slightly improved if both Bledsoe & Dragic return playing at the same level as last year and there's improvement internally. Only, all the other ...

I think that midseason tournament sounds kind of weird and lame. It could be neat, but, what's the incentive to do well in it? You'd need to really give the winner something special like a guaranteed playoff spot or something of that nature for them to be willing to put their health on the line.

I've always liked Blair. Wish we could've gotten him. As much as I like our team and FO/coaching staff, I hate that we're approaching the frontcourt the same way as in the past. It's a little sad that we're throwing tens of millions of dollars this offseason at point guards but we have almost nobod...

Welcome, klown! And yeah, Xylus, get out of that trash SpursTalk site. It's just a troll board. The only fun thing about it is seeing them rip on each other for their respective teams' mistakes. There's almost zero serious hoops talk going on over there.
