Little known fact. 100% of openly gay nba players are twins.

Amaechi came out after he retired. Collins is the first openly gay player.

You're not familiar with Jim Amaechi?

Heat intensifies as summer of Bledsoe nears end

...

But now that training camp is approaching at a gallop, what do other NBA front-office sharpies think will happen? After reaching out to several professionals representing seven different teams, we've learned they're about as perplexed as the rest of us.

Each respondent registered an opinion that Bledsoe and agent Rich Paul -- who also represents LeBron James and operates the Klutch Sports Group that includes hotshot contract negotiator Mark Termini -- won't blink before the Oct. 1 deadline. This means that unless Bledsoe chooses to play abroad (he'd still return as a restricted free agent), he'll accept the qualifying offer and assume some serious risk.

According to our respondents, there's the obvious risk that his stab at impressing potential employers will be compromised by poor health. During his first season in Phoenix, a thigh contusion and meniscus troubles kept Bledsoe sidelined for 39 games.
The insiders also remind us Phoenix's crowded backcourt could make it difficult for Bledsoe to replicate the numbers (17.7 points, 5.5 assists) he achieved during his 32.9 minutes per game last season. Having added the electric Isaiah Thomas to work with Bledsoe and Goran Dragic in the Suns' commitment to dual-point-guard basketball, it might be tricky for all three to reach individual statistical glory.

...
also
While we had our experts at the mercy of inquiry, they were quizzed for impressions of Bogdan Bogdanovic, the young Serbian shooting guard selected by Phoenix with the 27th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

Although they all were quite familiar with Bogdanovic beforehand, his performance in the FIBA World Cup inspired four of the seven to admit the Suns -- relative to where he was selected -- may have the steal of the draft.

The other three believe P.J. Warren -- the Suns' pick at 14 -- is a strong candidate for that honor.
All seven believe Warren will be regarded as a substantial get at 14 ... whenever the Suns make or find room for him in their rotation.

I'm really looking forward to seeing him play for the Suns this year and seeing what kind of impact he can have.

If we can combine players I'll take Miles Len for $100 please also a Gerald Goodwin for the daily double.

Sadly, even Markieffcus Morris probably isn't an NBA starting power forward.

I like the alliteration.

I would pay Eric Dragic the MAX!
