Feels a bit dumpy right now we need to go on a winning streak... But we need a game closer

Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath
Is it too early to talk free agents ?
I know the season isn't over yet, but I think the playoffs are a lost cause for the Suns this season. So I'm going to list some big men (of course) who will be free agents at the end of the season that I believe the Suns should look into.
Al Jefferson (P), Tyson Chandler, LaMarcus Aldridge, Greg Monroe, Deandre Jordan, Marc Gasol, and Omer Asik.
I have to mention Hassan Whiteside from Miami who has played extremely well and Ed Davis from the Lakers rebounds and blocks shots pretty good too.

Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath
He's not a free agent.

And Miami's not about to move him, considering the production they get in return for his (relatively) minuscule salary.

Gene: Why so many centers? Don't you think we have that spot in place for now with Len?
Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath
is bill simmons trolling the suns?
Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath
IT could always score the ball, that isn't his problem. Simmons does like his scorers though.
Go Suns!

Enjoy IT, Simmons/Boston. He will drive you crazy if you ever start trying to actually win anything.
Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath
I really don't get the IT hate. Yeah, he didn't fit here well, but he did exactly what was asked of him. And I keep harping on this, but he was our most efficient offensive player.

Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath
Stats don't tell the whole story and you know it! He is a microcosm of our season. Our offense is ranked #3 in PPG I believe. Would anybody here say we have a good offense this year? Our team is a mirage just like IT's stats.Indy wrote:I really don't get the IT hate. Yeah, he didn't fit here well, but he did exactly what was asked of him.

Alex Len and Markieff Morris inside might not be enough.

Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath
IT is a ball stopper. I don't want him on my team. You can have him, Simmons. Enjoy.

Word. He is a very talented player and he won us some games, but he was a prime contributor to a team culture I hated. I don't miss him.
Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath
One thing I was reflecting on today. I think we made the decision to trade the LA pick for MCW before we decided to trade for Brandon Knight. I think we wanted to capitalize on it and convert it. We then tried to see what we could get for MCW, not really wanting him ourselves. We though Brandon Knight was the best talent available.
So far, it's that last part that hasn't materialized.

I'm not a huge MCW fan, but I think it's a no-brainer you choose him in that trade over Knight.

Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath
Because MCW is only in his second season as a pro, and plus he isn't an impending free agent.
Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath
The contract status is the only reason. Knight is and will be a better player.INFORMER wrote:Because MCW is only in his second season as a pro, and plus he isn't an impending free agent.
