Who cares? The guy's not telling us anything. Just adding confusion.

I love how we are getting a pretty decent number of posts here lately on this "new" site. But I do think we have fallen into the rut of making giant threads like "free agency" or "draft" or "suns news: offseason" that just balloon to 35 pages long. If the Suns make a transaction, or if a Suns player signs somewhere else (like Frye signing in Orlando), we should just make a new thread about it. :-)

Be careful what you wish for. I don't want action just for the sake of action if we end up in worse shape.

The "Lebron James, yes or no" thread is a good example of a simple thread about a single topic. I like it, even though we had been discussing Lebron rumors plenty already in other threads.

I dunno, obviously the bumpiest thing would be moving Dragic. Blowing FA cash could also be bumpy.. Was just wondering if anyone knew if he was legit?
He supposedly has a source with a source. I don't trust him too much. He's not a Traxxe level poster anyway.

Another name that doesn't mean anything to me.

I just figured.. WWMD? And knowing you all of these years, I figured that thread was a good, singular topic of discussion place. Thanks Mori!

Marcus Thornton anybody?

http://fansided.com/2014/07/07/nba-rumo ... n/#!barByf
What Thornton doesn’t bring to the court is defense as he’s one of the worst defenders at his position in the NBA. That’s not to say he doesn’t give effort, but he’s continually finding himself back peddling and often gives up as many points on the defensive end as he attributes on the offensive side.

ray ray: Lebron will hear today the Suns last pitch.. He will then make the his decision. Once the decision is made, you'll see the Suns make multiples moves with it without Lebron.

I'm apologize for not being able to get into specifics, buts that what all I'm being told. Dragic future with the Suns depends on Lebron's decision.

Take it for what its worth..

Speculation station engage.

No thanks. Low 40s chucker. Not exactly what we need & I don't feel like helping Cleveland unless a significant asset is attached.
Go Suns!

In regards to Thornton, Green filled our poor defending chucker quota admirably last year, I think we're set there.

He may very well be vetted, but he's not sharing anything that we all don't already know.

I didn't know we got a second meeting. Didn't know the bit about Goran either.

Also, if it's Lebron hearing from the Suns, not his agent, that's news to me and signficant.

I was concerned that Lebron would choose not to meet with us at all. This is encouraging news, despite the somber tone of his post.

Dragic's future with the Suns depends on Lebron's decision.
What does that mean to you guys? We get LeBron, we lose Dragic? Or other way around?

I think Dragic is a gonner regardless, it could just be who for. Love, Rondo, George, other?
