We should just convince Nash to come back from retirement, snag Amare and trade for Dragic. Get Starbury from China on a veterans minimum contract and figure out how to get the Matrix to comeback as well. He's only 38 and those legs should be fresh after a year off. I know that *someone* here would be ecstatic if the above took place.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

The only one we really need to coax back now is Jerry.

I haven't seen that someone in a while. He actually hasn't posted about basketball since May 5th. Did he quit the board in frustration? If anyone knows him in real life maybe check on him or something.
Go Suns!

Yes, please do. Good suggestion Carey.

I don't think Jerry Sichting was that much of a difference maker to be honest.

He posted in his Star Trek thread not that long ago. And you guys don't recall the drama with him and Swing? That's when he bowed out for the most part.

Over a month ago. And I do, but he never said he was done posting or anything. I'm sure you're right and that's all it is.

How's Swing doing these days? I miss the positive vibes he'd swing my way.

He was on Slack with us on draft night shooting the shit for a bit. You could probably catch up with him on AZSF. I believe he still posts there.

Swing is still around but doesn't post here. Despite everything that happened I still love the guy and wish him well. P219 left the site a while ago due to various admin/mod stuff that I would prefer to keep private. I also love P219 and miss him; hope he'll come back some day and resume posting here again.

Not interested in a tank job.
Trading Bledsoe and Knight means we're tanking!? Hardly.
