2018 Suns Offseason News

[jonh]

I am not sure what the PG plan is. I should say, I do not like what the PG plan seems to be. I will never forget how bad Brandon Knight was and how much of a black hole he was on offense. And that was a healthy BK. I also havent been paying attention to mid tier FA signings thus far and don't know if a guy like Beverly is still out there or not. We need something else. I do not like large doses of Point Book yet. I think there are other areas of his game that need developed first.

“He wants to play right now,” Kokoskov said. “He brought us unbelievable energy and kind of positive energy for this group to understand that our starting point guard is at this camp. His presence here meant so much to these guys and myself and the staff, but also to him to get that little feel for the camp, for the game. I think it was beneficiary for both sides.”

Hype train coming!

What the hell is yoga basketball? This seems like some Earl Watson s***.

Ayton already has developed an appreciation for Kokoskov – “he’s very smart, very detailed,” – but admitted to being a bit dumbfounded by Kokoskov’s “yoga basketball” warmup.

“I never heard of it. It’s very tiring, by the way,” Ayton said with a smile. “I’m talking, ‘You jump over here, land on one leg, shoot the ball, do a 180 spin and do it again and shoot the ball.’ You have to see it for yourself.”

Haaaa
Naaww , I see KD does it as part of his pregame and I'm fairly certain Nash did it also

Hype train is right, going by this sentence from the article":

It wasn’t that long ago that Knight was playing at an All-Star level only to have his career stalled by injuries.

It actually wasn't that long ago that Knight was playing like just about the worst player in the NBA before his career was stalled by injuries. Whatever decent play we get out of him this season is a bonus. Hopefully Kokoskov will simplify the game for Knight and stop him from trying to do too much himself. We've got more than enough scorers on the team - Knight's job should be just to get the ball to them.

Yup Yup, there you go
KD does most of the FT line sequence with the one leg and 180 stuff

https://twitter.com/Gambo987/status/1014649187969843200 We should be the ones bringing him back.

Suns going to try to sign him back, I think. He would be useful for this team.

I hope you’re right. I’m sad to see him go.

Sauce said he wants to go somewhere he can get PT. Made it sound as if he’s done here IMO

Have you all seen this photo? His hands are so huge that it looks like he is throwing a ping pong ball!



Compare it to Randy Johnson, who is only 3 inches shorter:

[Superbone]

I want to know whether he threw a strike or not.

Trevor Ariza press conference tomorrow. Also speculation that Booker's contract will be finalized and announced on Sunday:

I found my answer. A strike to Archie Bradley. Off to a good start!

Come on! You can't tell from that angle. I prefer to think it caught the outside edge of the plate. It depends on the ump.

He's better than any backup we have since Tyson Chandler is a glorified babysitter and uses about half the season for his vacations.

[UglyTruth]

I'm trying to figure out why Big Sauce was in New Orleans. I haven't seen any reports that the Pels were looking at him.

It's a great vacation destination!

Maybe during Mardi Gras but that's about it.

Yoga basketball is the reason McD offered Kokoskov the job. Anything yoga and McD's down.
