It sounds like we might be targeting someone. Jones was taking up big man space. Someone with actual skills could fill that space now.

I think we’re just releasing him before his contract guaranteed. His signing was always an agent favor signing I think.

It's fun to look back at the ancient history of the franchise like that -- that was a Cotton Fitzsimmons team that would eventually finish 49-33, but miss the playoffs.The Bobster wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 9:36 pmThe Suns are the 69th team in NBA history to win back-to back games by 30+ points.
The only team to win three in a row is the 1971-72 Suns. (they won the next game by 20)
Those four wins -- Portland by 36, Golden State home and away on back to back nights by 36 and 33, and then Atlanta by 20 -- finished off an eight-game win streak that took the team from a 7-11 record up to 15-11.
Those were very good, tough teams led by Hawk, Paul Silas, and Van Arsdale, and Cotton was always a great coach.
Dennis "Mo" Layton was backup point ... he'd been a teammate of future Sun Paul Westphal at USC.

Me, too. Boogie might still have some talent, but he's not exactly Mary Poppins in the locker room ...

I'm willing to share.Superbone wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 5:22 pmOh, now he's your guy?!O_Gardino wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 12:34 pmDon't look now, but my guy Bridges is averaging the same PPG as DA (3rd on the team) with the highest eFG% and TS% on the team. Bridges is only 3 blocks behind DA, and is also second on the team in rebounds. The assists are pretty good, and he has one of the lowest TO% on the team.
I can't say enough about how much I like Mikal's game. He loves to compete, and you can tell that he's just out there having fun with the challenge every night. I hope this guy retires a Sun.
