Hibbert would be awful. He's a dinosaur. I don't have interest in anyone on that roster. Mahinmi maybe.
West is so sold and horrible though, no thanks, no real difference with him and Carlos Boozer at this point, at least Hibbert is young and has some chance to develop something new/betterRing_Wanted wrote:I think David West would make more sense than Hibbert.

Actually, there's a substantial difference.DrSublime wrote:no thanks, no real difference with him and Carlos Boozer at this pointRing_Wanted wrote:I think David West would make more sense than Hibbert.

yea West was 14 and 6, where as Boozer was 13 and 8 last year. Huge difference, both are also old perimeter bigs.Ring_Wanted wrote:Actually, there's a substantial difference.DrSublime wrote:no thanks, no real difference with him and Carlos Boozer at this pointRing_Wanted wrote:I think David West would make more sense than Hibbert.

not saying hes a good option, just a better option that West would be IMO, and no way do you start Hibbert, you start Miles, and bring Roy off the bench.JCSunsfan wrote:Cannot imagine Hibbert on this team. The Suns exposed him horribly last year--so much so that the Pacers fell off a cliff the last half of the season. He would not be a good fit in the Suns offense, and he would stunt the growth of Len and Plumlee.
The best option is still to sign Bledsoe. IT is more insurance for Goran than for Bledsoe.
i'd rather have scola back.ShelC wrote:Hibbert would be awful. He's a dinosaur. I don't have interest in anyone on that roster. Mahinmi maybe.
A Comcast SportsNet Northwest report quoted a source who said the Suns' relationship with Bledsoe "is on the express lane to being ruined."
ESPN.com's Chris Broussard reported that the relationship is going in the "wrong direction."
"Maybe that's just posturing and negotiating," Sarver said of the reports. "We haven't heard from the guy in four months, so I couldn't tell you. I do know that when he played here, he felt good about the organization, his coaching staff and his teammates at the end of the season. We had the same feelings toward him."
The return of Suns training camp to Flagstaff will continue this year. The team will train again at Northern Arizona University when it leaves Sept. 29 for a five-day training camp that is closed to the public except for a camp-ending scrimmage. The Suns have trained at the high-altitude campus 17 times, but until last year they had not done so since 2004.
Actually any other team that extends an offer sheet must do two years at least, not including option years. So unless it's a team with cap room, you're talking a two year deal at mid-level, which leaves even more money on the table than talking the QO.SDC wrote:i bet he signs a one year mid level deal with a contender. which team needs a pg? NYK and MILwaukee.
The difference is not 14-6 vs 13-8. It's the kind of rebounds they get, the effectiveness from midrange and in the post, defense, leadership as well. David West beats Boozer across the board.DrSublime wrote:yea West was 14 and 6, where as Boozer was 13 and 8 last year.

Should be more. Oh well. Move on.Shabazz wrote:PJ Tucker's been suspended for 3 games for his DUI incident.
Yep, I expected two so this is a 50% increase. Four games are reserved for "super duper extreme".Cap wrote:Two games is the standard for DUI. Three is pushing it, but so is "super extreme," so pushing the standards a little in this case is justified. Any more would probably provoke a confrontation with the players union.
