Seems like a bad move from a chemistry stand point. Kicking Price to the curb after he spent all summer working with the guys seems harsh. Especially when Price is much better at running the point.

Incoming trade? Maybe we are packaging something like Chandler and Goodwin for a body and future picks?

I really don't want us sacrificing our future for a year of Westbrook

If we make a move for Westbrook without an extension (even if he signs one it will be a 1+1 so a 2 year rental) I am done. I don't say that shit lightly but if we give up Bender and an unprotected pick I am out of here.
Go Suns!

Westbrook would bail on us after a year. It would set us back so many years.

I can't curse here anymore? :( It was one of my favorite things about the board... that it was unfiltered.

You can turn filtering on or off in the User Control Panel. Board preferences, display options.

I love having him back but something is going to have to give at the guard spots. We need to move 1 minimum, preferably 2 out of Archie, Knight, and Bledsoe.

If those 3 are the options, I vote to keep Archie.

As someone else mentioned I am an even bigger LB fan then Dudley, but I don't see how this makes alot of sense. I can see Dudley being 1 of the better forwards on theroster but LB isn't better then Knight or Bledsoe and Ullis and Goodwin are still developing.

HOWEVER, it is essentially a 1yr deal. would of rather of locked in Brandon rush to that deal. LB is better suited at the 9th guy on a really good team then the 9th guy on a rebuilding one.

I didn't say he wasn't, but those mins behind those other guys are best served for Goodwin and Ullis rather then an aging LB at the twlight of his career.

Edit: I did say he was better then goodwin! haha my bad. I meant Knight or Bledsoe
