All in on Okobo. Not AS high on Melton, but glad we have him and want to see what he can do.
I think Melton will end up as more of a combo guard rather than a point guard.

But I'm fine with that. I think he should spend plenty of time in Prescott Valley this season. It might not hurt Bender to get some minutes in there too.
Don't omit Jackson from that please.

Maybe that would actually wake him up. Getting sent down to the minors lol.

Blech. You’re not supposed to play this stupid game unless it puts you with an elite group.

Happy Birthday to Devin Booker and Maradona and to...me.

I have confidence that we will slowly fix all our problems and become a good team. We had a good Draft and a shitty Free Agency.

Let's get together and all have a shared birthday celebration. Can you see if Booker and Maradona can come? I will invite Kareem Rush--I am sure he isn't busy. Oh, almost forgot about the Fonz. We need to get him too.

The party is on and it’s at my crib in switzerland. But Kareem Rush isn’t invited, Maradona apparently had some Beef with him.

Happy birthday.

I watched a couple of half games over the last few nights when I could find the time. My general impression is that JJ needs to put on 15-20 lbs of muscle. He's too skinny right now and cannot deal with any sort of contact, let alone make any power moves. This affects him on offense and defense alike. Don't think he can start improving since anything he tries to pull gets knocked off balance with the simplest of bumps.

That's a good observation. I agree that it would help him a bit. Maybe a year off just working on his dribbling, shooting and body would do it.

Our birthday has quite a few crazies in the club, too.

Weird thought... but why not make our starting line-up our best 5 guys?

That's Okobo, Booker, Bridges, Warren, and Ayton. Lots of shooting, spacing, scoring. Only 1 player really out of position (Warren). Our other PFs are kind of awful, and aren't giving us anything anyway.

God, the bench would be abysmal though!

I think they need to make a move to pick up a decent to good starting PG and a PF with a pulse.

I don't know where that deal is at, but they need to go out and find it.

Dec. 15th. Suns trade for Love and Hill (my guess)
