I like Ronnie, but I'm not going to :( about replacing him with Leandro Barbosa and Tyler Ulis!

Yeah, if we make them stand on each other.
While wearing a tall trenchcoat, er... jersey.

How's this: their combined wingspan is 14' 2". Those actually make sense to add.

Thanks,Carey.

Some responses to DA:

...
At some point, GM Ryan McDonough will have to pare that group down via trade, but he now has some real pieces to put together to offer for an All-Star-level talent should one become available.
And this is the question of the season for me. Does McDonough think he needs to pair down the guard rotation, or does hes still think Knight and Bledsoe are an unstoppable combo? Is he stocking up for a trade, or will we see the talent on the end of the bench waste away with no playing time?
We have been hearing for quite a while that Ryan is accumulating resources to make a big trade. That is really hard to do when all of your "assets" play the same position, and you are looking for someone back that plays that same position...

Ever envision yourself going into that Ring?

“Definitely,” he answers, without hesitation. “I love it in Phoenix and I want to be one of those guys that gets drafted by one team and stays there the whole time. You know, they turn around the franchise, and they get love for that in that city like they’re the mayor…People still wear Steve Nash jerseys here. That’s definitely something I want to be.”

f*** yeah. This post and those quotes really get me going a big Suns fan. It's awesome when your best player says he loves playing here and wants to spend his whole career here. That was great to read.
When did Bledsoe say that?
Last season, Bledsoe had 632 points, 190 assists, and 125 rebounds. Booker had 1048, 200, and 187. So :P.
Ha. While it's true that the best ability is availability, Bledsoe is still the Suns best player. By a pretty fair margin might I add.

And when none of them are getting the usage to put up star numbers.

Exactly. It isn't a smart way to build up your assets.

I get a lot of ads for Star Trek merchandise, so the personalization seems pretty smart.

I don't know, they keep asking me to install Google Chrome, while I'm browsing on Chrome indeed.

:oops: I guess they know about my suns sock fetish, because these are the sock adds I see: https://www.stance.com/shop/product/thunder-dan-kevin

:lol: I would love to hear the dev team bragging about that part of the engine. "Our algorithm finds guys who watch porn and sports at the same time, then gives them adds for socks featuring their favorite players. You can find detailed use cases in the design document..."
