I'm ok with either keeping Kief or sending him away. I have always thought of him as a great 6th man, but never going to be a star/stud starting PF. I figure that the Suns may trade him away for something valuable and perhaps sign Amare for a limited role, and perhaps the training staff can work magic on him, but do not break the bank and kill cap flexibility for the following years.

Anderson's injury history is horrible. Like him as a player but I'd be very nervous not having another very capable starting PF on the roster.
Go Suns!

That says more about the team than it does about Markieff.

Isn't Chandler our best player now?

Has there been any news on him lately? I'd like to seem add some muscle to that string bean body.

Hi...

Nobody seems to have taken the KS idea seriously...any reason? He played well last season for the Wizards...he appears open to playing 4 or 5...we could mix it up with Chanlder and Len and him...his 38 minute stretched numbers 16/8.8/2.4 (blk) vs Anderson at 19/6.6/0.5. Why not? Supposedly has a nice touch, seems like some decent defense, and he is hungry for time...

Well, nobody ripped off your idea as well, so I guess it could count as a silent nod of approval. Maybe is because, after LMA, is hard to find KS "exciting".

Trading Keif because coach doesn't get along with him is stupid. He is a good player , was our best player in many games [ whatever that says about the team or not ] . He is a better asset than a give away for some aged star wanting to get paid next season [ ie. no Crawford ] . We have no guarantee that Hornacek will be with this team in a year and we also have no idea how this 'new look' Suns will look/perform. I can hope/imagine that Chandler will help Keif mentally but we won't know until at least half way through the season.

To trade him now is stupid and there is no reasoning that is not biased by his off court behavior. That said, why not wait - we might be able to package him next year in the draft, a trade or a sign and trade or something.

If Hornacek was Pop or something and we knew he was amazing and would be here forever that would be one thing but he's a lame duck at this point and if his end of contract strategy is anything like his end of clock strategy he will likely be ghost like casper

If you're blaming that shit on Hornacek instead of Eric Bledsoe I'm not sure you actually watched the end of games. Eric crumbles under pressure and rarely runs the play correctly. This has been noted by Coro and just about every other beat writer that follows the Suns (and also is a huge reason why Informer doesn't like Bledsoe.)
Go Suns!
