I'm also uneasy about our center situation. History suggests that we're not likely to get full seasons out of Chandler and Len. What do we do at center when one of them is unavailable? Williams? Dudley?
I see it too as an issue, that's why I was advocating for Channing Frye, and still do, except that Dudley + Frye kind of strikes as too much memory lane signings.

The FA pool is not for us this crazy year, I want us to wait for kids playing on summer league, then evaluate how much of a stop gap we need, but no matter if it is a fringe starter or a fringe NBA player, we have to add one player fully capable to alternate at the PF and C slots.

I wonder if we could interest the Lakers in a Bledsoe/Goodwin swap for Russell/Nance.

Let's throw in AASE. He's obviously worth a high pick.

Now you like Russell? Or are you still just trying to move like Bled?

All we need is Joshua Jackson next year, DeAndre Ayton the year after and we're in good shape.

Just trying to move Bledsoe. I'm still not optimistic that Russell will live up to his draft status.

Looks like you guys are getting a couple less home games this season, the SUNS are coming to Mexico Fn' City in January! to "host" the Mavs and the Spurs, not one, but TWO Suns games here in my country, I've been to almost every NBA mexico game, I even traveled to Monterrey (like 11hr drive) to see the Suns in 2009, and now, out of 30 teams, the suns are playing two games. Im quite exited about this, wanted to share with you all. Any chance for a mexican fans get together Aztec??

Will be reporting for you guys in january, im not missing any of this.

From Zach Lowe's latest article on ESPN regarding the fallout from KD to Warriors

"Presti doesn't want to trade Westbrook, but if he feels backed into a corner, he will chase young players and draft picks. The Phoenix Suns reportedly talked with the Atlanta Hawks about Paul Millsap, and they come armed with prospects galore, extra point guards and two future Miami picks."

The problem with trading for Westbrook: what compels him to stay? How is Phoenix any different from OKC? If anything, Phoenix is less attractive than OKC.

Of course Cardoso, I'm already waiting for confirmation to look for tickets, let's keep an eye on this.

I'm with you on this, he may not want to stay, but it would be fun. I would love to have Westbrook, but don't want to give up the draft picks this year, or Booker, and Len. Keep the roster balanced. Give up future picks, the Miami picks, Bledsoe, Knight, Tucker, and Goodwin.

I don't know how much fun it'll be.
I really don't like Westbrook as this franchise future star.

Yeah, I'm not a fan either.

Can't deny his talent, but I can't see any team with him as their best player winning it all.
