any interest in Poeltl and/or Caboclo from the raptors? Raps are in win now mode and those guys seem buried on the bench/dleague.
Was just thinking if we wanted to go the prospect route if we didn't get offered an 1st rounders for our vets.
Do you think they would be willing to do it.
Neither has shown a great deal but Poeltl would at leas give us some leverage if someone offers Len a stupid contract or would ease the blow a little if we moved chandler

Nah. I've wanted Nogueira for some time now, but they are actually using him now. Would have loved CoJo-Nogueira while moving on from Bledsoe and Knight (assuming something else would come to us, of course).

Despite Warren (who currently is very out of shape) I think we can use a SF, but as they say, Caboclo is still two years away from being two years away. Josh Jackson via draft would be awesome.

I feel like Caboclo is a knee-jerk reaction to the Greek Freak and if he doesn't develop in the next year he's gonna be the next Archie Goodwin situation in terms of contract and I have no interest in that. I'd have some mild interest in Poeltl.

https://twitter.com/ringer/status/825344152795803649 We are currently 3rd in losses and would select Dennis Smith Jr. according to the Ringer and Draft Express. We'd of course have a decent chance at a top 2 pick.
Go Suns!

New York and Atlanta played the 15th 4 (or more) overtime in the NBA's 71 season history. 6 occurred in the 8 seasons before the shot clock in 1954, 9 in the 63 seasons since.

The longest game in NBA history was played on Jan. 6, 1951 between the Indianapolis Olympians and the Rochester Royals. After 78 minutes of game play and a record six overtimes, the game concluded with the relatively low score of 75-73 in favor of the Olympians.

The highest-scoring regular season game is a triple-overtime game between the Detroit Pistons and the Denver Nuggets on December 13, 1983. The two teams combined to score 370 points, with the Pistons defeating the Nuggets 186–184.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

That 6-overtime game was kind of a farce. After getting the ball at both teams would hold on to the ball and run the clock down to get the last shot there was a total of 18 points scored combined in the 6 OT.

In former Suns news.

Edit: Looks like the original tweet was deleted, but Sonny Weems was dismissed from Macabi. There's something fishy going on. I'll post more when I can figure out what's up. It was reported that they held him for several hours & made him pee several times while his son who didn't speak their language sat in a room by himself into the early hours of the morning.

Probably related to Trumps ban somehow.
Love, Hurts.

Will the Wizards be able to afford the max deal Otto Porter is about to get this off-season? I'd gladly throw Chriss and Warren their way for him.

Otto Porter has really blossomed. 14.4 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 18.07 PER, .468 3pt%. Not bad.

Really? Porter has developed nicely, but I have higher hopes for Chriss and Warren.

Porter is the poster boy for giving guys the time they need to develop. He was a massive bust after year 2.

I do not. :lol: I don't think Chriss will ever rebound enough for me to like him as a PF.

Warren seems to have regressed quite a bit.

Way too early to give up on those guys so easily, especially considering the money Porter will likely get thrown at him.

Thomas with 41 tonight so far.

Still gotta love how we traded him and his great contract along with the Lakers pick for Knight!

Technically we traded Thomas for the Cleveland first that we traded in the package to move up and select Chriss.

Laker pick for Knight was separate. Either way, both trades are pretty bad.
