Suns News: The Offseason (2015)

[ShelC]

I'm excited about Teletovic. Could be a nice surprise for us with his skillset and IQ. Very under the radar acquisition and honestly, probably suffered playing in BK with some of those guys and that style.

I would do Markieff Morris for Ryan Anderson straight up right now. Kieff is the better more balanced player and better defender but Anderson spaces our floor better. I would even throw Bogdan in as an incentive for them to bite.

Their stats are very similar except shooting percentage.

No way.

Archie, I think about it.

Wow. First trade I've ever proposed where someone thought I was giving up too much. Banner day.

[carey]

Anderson is on the last year of his deal. I would not do anything other than a straight swap.

It's no fun when more and more evidence gets presented every day that your childhood hero is a creep/crook.

So true.

Hmm. Interesting assumptions. Assumes any private entrance into public education is shady.

From everything I've read about charter schools in New Orleans it absolutely is.

I don't think it is assuming that. It is assuming it if you also try and cover it up.

Game 3 of the 2010 West Semifinals against the Spurs is on NBATV right now. Needless to say, I'm recording that bad boy. Right now the Suns are down 12 with 1:32 left in the 1st quarter.

[Mori Chu]

Don't spoil the ending for me!

[Superbone]

It was a classic Suns/Spurs playoff game but the roles were reversed. We were down as much as 18 points in the first half before we came storming back. This was a very good Spurs team too but we were just better that year.

Take it for what it's worth, but like 'Bazz said, really does make you think about your childhood (especially sports) heroes.

[The Bobster]

I think anybody who tries to make someone they don't know into their hero is out of their mind.

I don't care who that person is, Charles Barkley probably was right when he said "I am not a role model." The only thing they owe us is being good citizens.

Suns forward Markieff Morris finds refuge at Grand Canyon University

“I personally like Markieff. I think he’s a good kid. I think he’s very talented,” Majerle said. “Now, is he right? No, but that’s a growing process and he’ll figure it out. So, that’s up to the Suns and him. But, I personally like Markieff. He’s been really nice to me, he’s been a good kid, so I hope for his sake and for the Suns sake he works it out.”

I like his candor.
