What exactly did you expect from Trevor freaking Ariza? He is a 3 and D guy, which means he stands in the corner and shoots on offense and he guards his man on Defense, which most nights is the best player of the opposing team, which on most nights is unstoppable anyway. It’s not his fault the Suns signed him to that ridiculous contract. We had wings, we didn’t even really need him.Shabazz wrote: ↑Thu Nov 01, 2018 3:48 pmI hope I didn't sound that hysterical in your mind when you read my post.Superbone wrote: ↑Thu Nov 01, 2018 2:51 pmGood timing 'Bazz.
Gambo goes off on the Suns. Do yourselves a favor and start at 1:30 so you don't have to hear about Gambo's young wife getting offered candy because she looks so young.

That's a good point. Just because Sarver and company targeted him and pays him 15 million dollars doesn't mean he's worth it or he will be a difference maker for us.

Nope. I 100% prefer watching Bridges play the game. He's working on D and making things happen and shows some fire.

No riskit no biscuit. I think offering up picks to nab a star point -not John Wall please- is what the Suns need. They don’t need another lottery pick. They need a vet. Kemba or Rozier.
Also, Bridges, Ariza, and Warren need to start as long as Booker is out.

We’ve surrendered 117+ in six straight games. The last team to do that was the Washington Bullets. Half our current roster hadn’t been born. http://bkref.com/tiny/E4QsD
Re: Suns News: Week 3 10/29-11/4
The Suns are gonna draft another BUST if they keep the pick. I wouldn't trade it for Rozier but I would trade it for Kemba with top 5 protection on it.
The next year's draft is projected to be WEAKER than the 2016 and 2013 drafts.
