I would take a flier on Ben Simmons, just to see if we can fix him. If he stinks send him back to Australia.

Also, I believe Highsmith had 1 million guaranteed, so I don’t think we save any money by waiving him and bringing him back. More likely we go into the season with 14 players and convert Pat Spencer at the very end.
Think that’s true for immediate out of pocket cost but might be different when tax is figured in.

Duh, but also, I wonder if Justin Ishbia who is also loaded to the gills gets more of the team?

Here’s to Dillon averaging 2 apg this year and removing himself from that 1st overall ranking!

I know it's not elegant or smooth, but he plays his ass off for the Suns and some of you snobs don't deserve his effort. :P

You're going to have egg on your face when he increases his assists from 1.8 to 2.5 APG.

And high in protein. Fried, poached, scrambled? What's your favorite style?

I agree with the factual statement that his game is not pretty to watch. I don’t think this assessment is particularly fair tho. Before last year I was firmly in the trade Book camp but the games where he was out last year it was painfully obvious that this team has no one who can reasonably go up against a defender whose normal job is to take on the opposing team’s best players. So if we pick from among those who are barely qualified to be third options on a decent team, Brooks at least always stepped up and took terrible shots with confidence and hit them at a clip well above what I expected of him. So ugly game or not he played a role on this team that frankly the team / coach asked of him and I’m thankful he’s on the Suns.

Ha! Tom Leander immortalized. "Stoudemire was a 6-foot-10, 245-pound elevating-and-detonating marvel."

Man, this is worth watching for a reminder of what we had. A surprising number of power dunks in a Knicks uniform too. We should have never traded him (in spite of what Mori says.)
