Letting Knight play maximizes our chances to land Fultz or Ball.

This podcast is just some random dudes talking Suns stuff, but they were at Bright Side night and McDonough took questions from fans: http://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2016/ ... r-the-fans

Apparently they get calls about Tucker and Chandler ALL the time. If that's true I expect neither to be here past February's trade deadline if Warren makes a full recovery and we're committed to signing Len long term. Although they may want to wait until Len's deal is done and trade Chandler during the Summer as insurance. I'm not saying I'm o.k. with that just that I think that's what will happen.
Go Suns!

We have to play Knight and Tucker so that they have trade value. I am not a fan of starving the youngs for minutes, but if it helps us get back actual assets for our poorly fitting veterans, it may be worth it in the long run.

I'd be happy to see Tucker go, just because we don't need him. He's given us his all for a few years now, and I have no ill will toward him, but we don't need him and he may want to play on a winning team.

I would love to keep Chandler, because I think we still need a good vet at his position and he seems to have a great mentoring relationship with the young guys. But if he wants to go to a playoff team, I would trade him just out of respect.

Hey guys. I talked to Coro last night and he is no longer with AZ Central. If you like him and would like to see him continue to cover the Suns send me a PM. Thank you.

I was wondering why he hasn't tweeted for four days. Thought he might be on vacation or something.

When I want to look up Suns stuff on my browser I open four links at once. His twitter was one of those. He was my go to spot for official news about the Suns. Could always trust what he said. I hope he left because he found something better but the way you worded your message makes it sound like he didn't. Is azcentral no longer going to have a Suns beat reporter?

I would definitely like to see him still covering the Suns.

He did not, and I'm not sure what AZ Central is going to do. The story on the OKC game is taken from the AP.

Yea Coro was a staple and solid on the beat. Actually had noticed he hadn't tweeted in a bit. Hope he lands on his feet. We need some solid insider stuff!

Makes you kinda wish we had Mark Cuban as an owner. He went crazy when ESPN stopped having a full time reporter for the team. Can't imagine what he would do if that last big local paper started outsourcing coverage to the AP.

Does this require a heartfelt letter? Coro's the man. Very sad to see him go. Can provide more flattery upon request.

Any idea what he's got planned?

Our team's so bad the local paper decided to fire the beat writer.

Wow, that's a real bummer about Coro. He does good work. I'd love to do anything I could to help support him and his work. Let us know!

Hate to see this team fall even more into obscurity. People outside of AZ hardly even knows this team exists. Coro seemed legit. Kind of a discouraging move.
