I don't know if it's been posted here, but I read the Suns were offered Hibbert, Copeland and cash for Goran Dragic and rejected it.

Personally, I would have lit myself on fire if the Suns had made that move. Awful beyond words.

I wouldn't touch Hibbert, but I could have an interest in West though. Not for Dragic, obviously.

This week i got to see an Exhibition game between my Country italy and serbia. I got a quick look at Bogdan Bogdanovic. I got say, i'm happy that he stays in Europe to develop. He signed for turkish Club Fener Istanbul and will get big minutes on that Team for sure.

He played SG in the Exhibition. What he really must work on, is his outside shot. It was off, despite him having a solid form on the shot. I liked his instincts on the pic and roll. Definitly some great decision making in that particular element of his game. He had some good moves on the one on one, but lacked making the shot after freeing himself up. On defense he didn't impress me. His feet seem a Little planted on the ground. Physicly he has good size but is still a Little Slim, so he has to bulk up a Little.

All in all, a nice prospect at this Point. He isn't as good as Goran was as a Rookie but there is potential there. As i said, he will Play on a good Team and Play a lot for them, so he certainly should improve this season and the suns can reasses him next year. He will probably stay two years overseas, since he can leave only after those two seasons to come to the NBA.

Indiana should have offered PG for Dragic.

Thanks for the great scouting report. I still think he is an interesting prospect, though I wonder if we could have gotten him with a later pick.

Finished watching the game. It was a good game which Serbia won. Bogdan had 18 Point and led his squad in scoring. He was just 3-9 from the arc, but hat some good drives and again was very good in the pick and roll. In one Occasion he used the pick to get his Defender off Balance, stopped at the free throw line and hit a nice Little Jumper all net. He was featured heavily while on the floor. They even posted him up a Little, because he had a size advantege on the smaller canadian guards. On one Occasion he faced up nicely and just shot over his Opponent swishing it. He looked more like a wing on that paricular move. He is very versatile on offence while maybe reliing to much one his outside shot.

For Canada Sacre was awfull, Olynik had a double double while hitting two threes and while triing to save a ball from goint out of bounds, he crashed on a paper bilboard sign and took it with him on the court... Corey Joseph tried to dribble throug a defenders legs, and i'm not talking about the ball, he tried himself to go through his opponents legs, just that his Opponent wasn't tall enough for him to get through and he got stuck... The best Players on the canadian Team where the Little guards who hit a ton of threes and made the game Close to the end, but Serbia prevaled thanks to mainly theyre bech Play, in particular Teodosic, the Star from CSKA Moskau who really took Joseph to sckool in this game.

Terrific contributions, gosuns, keep it up!

By the way, I came across this video. It's a nice sight of what happens inside a locker room when there is a trade (Rudy Gay). The good part starts around 10:40.

The Suns have been getting darker over the years. Kind of like the Batman movies...
