Suns News: Week 21 3/13-3/19

[In2ition]

Our moves haven't worked out.

You say that like it has just been by happenstance. It hasn't. The roster management has been horrendous, there have been some inexcusable trades (and lack thereof), and Ryan seems to have no clue how to construct a team.

I think that the Celtics have out "asseted" us for the last few years and that has handicapped Ryan's ability to make a franchise changing play. I am excited about being out from under that a bit more after this draft. I think Ryan has been incredible in the draft. He has done well with contract negotiations. He does well with the media and seems to be a good buffer between Sarver and the staff. I think Ryan should stay if he is cheap because we have a ton of growth invested in him just like Alex Lin

Good post.

Haven't posted in the Suns forum in awhile. I was on vacation in S. America for two weeks and had a bunch of games taped when I got back. I have been super busy since I got back and have been trying to catch up but, I am still about 6 games behind and didn't want any spoilers so I have avoided this place.

My note. I love the Suns sitting Chandler and Knight and playing the future guys. They have responded. Two thumbs up to the coach or whoever made that happen. Assists are way up. Loving it. Will post more when and if I catch up.

At least you could have brought us some good coffee beans or Peruvian marching powder ...

Let's not let him off the hook. Should have been both!

[Mori Chu]

Good to see you 'dack, hope the change of scenery was relaxing and enjoyable for you. Now back to the lotto-bound Suns and to American current events and politics! :'(

And a llama.

Then we give the coffee and the powder to the llama and see what happens.

Who is this guy? He was fine to me, but he all of a sudden started insulting me. What's up with his love affair with Knight? I'm starting to question my own eyes where I thought that Booker was better, played better and was doing better as a SG than Knight. Have I been giving Booker a pass where I didn't give Knight the same amount of leeway?

Booker has had some pretty awful FG% games, but he is a guy that tries to get others involved.

[In2ition]

He's been shooting horribly lately. But he does seem to pass more than Knoght did, IMO.

[Indy]

Yep, even though a lot of those passes don't end up being assists. My eyes tell me he does more for the team than Knight. And obviously it plays into the feelings here that he was a draft pick that you can't find a better player taken after him, and Knight cost us a draft pick that is unknown at this point (not to mention the additional 14M/year contract).

[Superbone]

It's not even close. Booker hits game winners. Knight shoots game losers. Repeatedly.

LMAO ^ should be a bumper sticker.

[Mori Chu]

Wasn't Knight by some metric the worst player in the NBA for a while this season? (Who was posting those stats?) What number was that, and is he still #1 in it?

[Cap]

It was Real Plus Minus. He currently ranks 454 out of 458.

BSotS weighs in on the top lottery prospects. The author is not a fan of Ball, fwiw.

Actually agree with a lot of his takes. Although I have a higher opinion of ball than him.

I'm pretty sure Dary's a troll or a contrarian of sorts. His opinions seem to always go against the widely accepted opinion.

First of all, it's Dave, so bleh.

Secondly, I've been saying the same thing about Isaac for months. It would be a nightmare defensively for teams to see Chriss, Bender, and Isaac all out on the floor. We'd become the West version of the Bucks.

I change my mind on Ball every day. Ask me tomorrow. Ask me again in June.
