i see the clever wording there, coro. suns wont have to deal bledsoe, they might just not resign or match his contract anymore.

and i wish the nba has a loan system where a team like the suns can loan their players to other nba teams (for example suns loaning ennis to NYK, a team that has PG needs) instead of relying on d-league teams.
The loan system is kind of cool. I agree with that.

We can loan them to the D-League. If a guy gets hurt playing for someone else, we get screwed.

Thomas shoots well from 2 and decent enough from three. He gets to the free throw line a good amount and shoots a great percentage. His point per shot last year was 1.34 (very, very good). Hes a good penetrator and passer.

The only knock against him is that hes short. I think the contract is a pretty good value.

The only worry I have is if theres enough shots for him to be effective. He's not gonna get 20 shots a game anymore.

The funny thing is that he was measured 5'9" without shoes and 5'10 1/2" in them. He really could have been listed as 5'11", which doesn't sound quite as bad.

Also (just to play devil's advocate) there's no mention of Dragic in Coro's tweet.

Love the move! Insurance if we can resign Goran or Bledsoe, great if we have to play him as a backup -we would have 2 "starters" at guard all the time. And we're not overspending!!!

He and Dragic both took around the same # of shots per game, just saying.

You don't copy the tweet, you actually copy the link to the tweet (the whole status update w/ URL and everything.)

because i think dragic is in the safe category now, more than unsigned bledsoe or rookie ennis.

That's the thing, I haven't dished anything. I helped a dude figure out how to use the tweet option. I pointed out TOO was relaying Coro's information not being a prophet. Then you jump on me for no reason. If anyone's the asshole it's you dude.

So - your wanna-be correction-nazi bit earlier jumping in out of left field was nothing? Or would you just prefer it be nothing? ;)

Look - just lay off that kind of dishing and I won't kick it back into play, cool? I'm just as much a Golden Rule guy as the next person is, but if you dish me bullshit, don't be offended when I dish it right back, is all.
