It just shows that "if you build it, they will come". Thanks again to Mori for restoring this community to talk Suns basketball.

Many? How about two.
Try one.
Really??? OK.
I hated Lance Blanks. I've never once advocated getting rid of Ryan McDonough.

Wow! Glad you're back. The international Suns following is too cool. Don't worry about your English. I don't speak a lick (that means I don't speak any) of Chinese. :D

That would enable those guys to gamble just a little bit more on the wings. I wouldn't be adverse to moving assets for a guy like Sanders, but I want to see a bit more of Len first. It's a shame he got injured during Summer League.
I think our season depends on our two stud PGs not getting injured. Bledsoe has an injury history, and Dragic absorbed MAJOR mileage this past season plus the World Championships. I worry that Dragic is due to get an injury. I realize we have a capable replacement in IT3 if Dragic or Bledsoe goes down, but I don't think it'll be the same.

I think we have a pretty good rotation at the 1-2-3 spots assuming full health. But our big men are pretty spotty. If Markieff Morris has another impressive season, we may be okay, but he's undersized to be a full-time starting PF. If Plumlee and Morris both have big years, we might be a real surprise in the West, but that's asking a lot. I feel like we'll get out-muscled on the boards and in the paint a lot of games and let some close ones slip away that we otherwise ought to win.

Not to debate your point, but it always depends on injuries.
Go Suns!

At least we have some kind of insurance for those guys. What's our plan if Plumlee goes down?

Len and the waiver wire I suppose.I don't want to see Shavlik playing anything more than spot minutes at backup.

Well, they can always make a trade during the season if they need to.

If you see Tolliver getting minutes at center, you know something went wrong.

That was something we will miss from Frye. He was a f/c that could add depth at the 5. We don't have that anymore.

Yep. I am very interested to see how we plan to cover for that. My assumption is we will play small and let our natural 3s that can shoot, pretend to be 4s and spread the floor. And *hope* it works so well it won't matter on the other end of the floor.

Len and Plumlee are just going to have to produce. Now is the time to see what potential we have ther.e
