Suns News: Week 2 11/3-11/9

[Indy]

I can't make the game tomorrow night and I'm hoping someone here would love to buy some great seats. They are in 104 (behind visitor bench) about half way up. It's $80 per seat and I have a pair. Just DM me if interested. Face value is a lot more, but there's always a .net discount.


If this is the wrong place for this just let me know. I'm not trying to make money on this, just looking for passionate fans.

damn it i wish i were in arizona.

[Indy]

Tickets are claimed.

If you ever make it over here just reach out to me. I will hook you up Pickle for making the long trip over here.

[pickle]

thanks man! i'll definitely hold you to it when i'm back next!

LeBron James & Kyrie Irving had "healthy" exchange in locker room after loss in Portland this week sources told ESPN:

lebron is better off if he moved to phx

[Mori Chu]

I think Lebron is doing the right thing by trying to convince Kyrie to pass. You can't win in June with your pg taking all the shots.

[Bruiser]

I think the Cavs should consider trading Kyrie. I know he is a superstar and exceptionally good on offense (when he has the ball in his hands) but it is hard to argue that Rondo or a few other pass-first PGs wouldn't be much better fits for the makeup of that team right now.

IMHO

That sounds short-sighted to me. Rondo would be good with that team, yes, but losing Kyrie means that they would become a MUCH older team. Lebron didn't leave Miami to go to another team of aging veterans that will be irrelevant in 3-4 years.

Mmmmh. Rondo is 28 and I think his "window" should be close to Lebrons. And he has some very valueable post-season experience. Of course I don't know what a trade should look like but I think he would be a great fit.

But I understand your point. Rondo was just an example though. Would you agree a little more if you could change that name with some other defense-oriented, pass-first PG?

[carey]

I think they should swap Kyrie for Bledsoe, but only from a Cavs perspective. I'm not sure I could get behind a Kyrie led Suns team. Bled would fat that Cavs team like a glove though> He's infinitely better on the defensive end and they could get serious about defense with Bled, LeBron, Marion and Varejao out there.

[Split T]

The problem with Kyrie is he creates very well for himself but doesn't create for others, nor can he play without the ball. It feels like he's headed for a Steve Francis - stephon Marbury like career. One of two things needs to happen, he can learn to create for others and be an actual pg or he needs to carve out a role like monta Ellis in Dallas. I think Lebron is trying to turn him in to a pg, so we'll how that goes.

He's a better fit than Kyrie. Mike Conley would be a great fit as well. I don't think they actually need a star at pg though, they need someone who can spot up and shoot and be a secondary playmaker when lebron doesn't have the ball. IF the cavs could build a Kyrie for Drummond and dj Augustin package they'd be pretty scary.

Yeah, I thought so too. Not sure if I would like it though. But if I had to pull the trigger now, I would probably say yes...

[INFORMER]

If I were the Suns, I wouldn't do that deal unless I had a third team lined up to take Irving.

You might be right, IT and Irving is just too much of the same and in the end simply not enough Defense I guess ...

Exactly. Why would we offer to make the Cavs better at our expense?

As a favor to Rich Paul, he's earned it.

[INFORMER]

I initially thought the Suns would land Horford this season, but now I'm thinking they'll go after Paul Millsap.
