I wouldn't trade away Booker either, but if you ask me to trade Archie, Bledsoe, Knight and Tucker, I wouldn't have to think very long about it.Cap wrote:He not saying Westbrook's contract is worthless, just that it's not worth trading away the future of the franchise.In2ition wrote:Are you saying that a team wouldn't overpay his contract to get him on their team?OE32 wrote:Westbrook is not an asset.

Presti would have to be fired on the spot if he took that package for Westbrook. No picks or real prospects. Come on.In2ition wrote:I wouldn't trade away Booker either, but if you ask me to trade Archie, Bledsoe, Knight and Tucker, I wouldn't have to think very long about it.
Re: Suns News: The Offseason (2016)
I'm not saying it would happen. Presti will have a new GM job in the NBA within an hour of his firing.Ring_Wanted wrote:Presti would have to be fired on the spot if he took that package for Westbrook. No picks or real prospects.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason (2016)
My problem is I don't see any possible way that we have the assets available to trade for enough people to make this team compete for a championship in the next 24 months. So Westbrook would leave at the end of his contract, and we would have spent the last two years giving up on our future assets for quick fixes that just make us good enough to make the playoffs, not go anywhere, and get the 15-20th pick in the draft. Bleh. Been there, done that, way too much.

I heard on the radio that Warren might have grown an inch since college and last year. He's now 6'9". I also heard he's been working out since he's been grounded and is getting buff.

Good news. I think our starting line-up by the ASB is: Bledsoe-Booker-Warren-Dudley-Len.Superbone wrote:I heard on the radio that Warren might have grown an inch since college and last year. He's now 6'9". I also heard he's been working out since he's been grounded and is getting buff.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason (2016)
It'll be Bledsoe-Knight-Tucker-Dudley-Len (or Chandler) and it will be pretty awful for a while then they'll swap out Tucker and eventually Knight.OE32 wrote:I'm hoping these are the starters on opening night.carey wrote:Good news.

Dragic about Phoenix:
Whoops.“It feels like they’re always changing something,” Dragic told Yahoo Sports. “They’re not like Miami, San Antonio, those teams that are really loyal when they find something.”

Just give it up Goran. Sounds like a jilted lover.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”
