Re: 2014 NBA Draft

I wouldn't put Smart and Bledsoe in the same backcourt.

Re: RC Buford: Executive Of The Year

I've never been a fan of Barnes. Not that i have anything against him, i just thought he was overrated at UNC and think he's a role player. I said he was Marvin Williams coming out and people scoffed. Inconsistent, not really great at anything, more of a physical specimen that looks the part as oppo...

Re: RC Buford: Executive Of The Year

It was more about both sides needing to move on. I'm sure he didn't want to be a in rebuilding situation going into a contract year, we weren't going to extend him because he didn't fit our long term vision. Neither side could have predicted the suns would have been so successful and had he been on ...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason

"We anticipate Eric being a member of the Suns for a very long time. He proved to be one of the league's up and coming stars this season and we're very excited about his future."

That's all it takes Bob.

Re: Around the League: May 2014

He also had a lot of talent, much like VinnyD in LA. Time will tell if they were winning because of him or in spite of him. He definitely seemed overly sensitive about the fact that Malone was getting credit for the initial success, as he was seen as the Xs and Os guy. And I think Malone was almost ...

Re: RC Buford: Executive Of The Year

McD showed restraint not chasing the 7th seed and a 1 and done in the playoffs. He was disciplined enough not to give up assets for a rental in Gasol or Deng (or god forbid Rudy Gay) to get marginally better.

Re: RC Buford: Executive Of The Year

except for a misguided attempt to remedy never giving it to him before I think that's it. They wanted to give him one before the run is over. He really didn't do anything of note to add to the team this year. Kind of like the Oscars when they don't pick the young guy who deserves it because they fe...

Re: Around the League: May 2014

Was never a fan of Mark Jackson post playing career. I feel like once he got the itch to coach, he'd lobby and preach during his broadcasts to show how smart he was and how good a coach he'd be. One of the sports writers said it best...he's a great motivator, but that doesn't always make a great coa...

Re: Suns News: Week of 4/14-4/20

I don't think Ferry has any illusions about his team. He came out and said that making the playoffs wasn't the goal. Now as well as they played a struggling Pacers team, I still don't think that'll give him a false sense of security about his team. He knows they're mediocre at best and he has some n...

Re: Suns News: Week of 4/14-4/20

I would take Horford, tho his health is a concern. He'd be a great 4 for us. If ATL makes a play for Monroe, he may become available.

Re: First Round: Houston Rockets (4) vs. Trail Blazers (5)

Rockets proved to be soft. They need to get a lot tougher, angrier. They didn't seem to play with any urgency. Blazers had the eye of the tiger.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason

Burke showed signs of life once he was healthy. Shabazz was a bust this year. I knew Hardaway Jr would be a solid pro. I really liked Dieng coming out and think he's still got a ways to go. Olynyk showed some real nice flashes too. Want to see what CJ McCollum does in Portland with a healthy year.

Re: Around the League: the offseason

Quite douchey of Magic. Especially coming from a guy supposedly linked to buying the Clips. I know i mentioned Minny, but if MJax gets canned I'd want to see MikeD in GS. Curry, Klay, Iggy, Barnes, Green, Lee...they'd average 125pts easily. And remember, Rick Welts is prez up there too. He'd do grea...

Re: Around the League: the offseason

He should go to Minny and coach Rubio and Love. He was never a good fit for LA.

He should've taken the job at Marshall.

Re: 2014 NBA Draft

I don't think it's a question of skill. It's been about consistency and him seemingly turning it on when he knows people are watching or dogging it when unhappy. Something just seems off with him.

Re: 2014 NBA Draft

I think you got BPA but i feel pretty good about our guard situation going into next year with Bledsoe, Dragic and Goodwin. That's as solid a young backcourt as you'll find with youth, athleticism, length, scoring, slashing, defense. I'd be more inclined to keep those guys together with Goodwin off ...
