That's great news! Really happy for him. He's been right on that cusp for years, and I think he deserves it on his resume.

Almost every team that handed out those $17M contracts to mediocre "3-and-D" guys immediately came to regret them. Bradley is supposedly a good player, but I think that there's at least he same likelihood that his atrocious season is related to declining skills as it is to circumstance. Hard pass at paying $17M to find out.

He's the worst player in the NBA this season by some metrics. Some players lose it and just don't get it back. No thanks.
Agreed.

By VORP, he's the fourth-worst player in the league. The bottom two are Josh Jackson and Tyler Ulis.

Zipser's really down. His play's not gonna fly. He's no longer #1. Doesn't take a whiz to see that! Maybe he was flushed with success.

Blake had 24p, 10r, and 5a in his Pistons debut in a 2-point win. Not bad. Enjoy it while you can, Detroit, until he snaps a tendon and breaks your heart.

I know we disagreed dramatically at the time he was traded but I really thought you would have seen the light by now.

I guess he would have just destroyed this franchise, oh wait.

We didn't need his help.

He surely might have done that to us but how much better would we be with him rahter than either Chriss or Bender?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the Suns are better off. And I'm not saying Harden wouldn't have this franchise in a better place.

There are about a 1000 paths the Suns could have taken that would have been significantly better than what has played out the last 8 years. Trading for Harden would have been one of them. It's just not one I would have personally preferred. I get a front row seat to the Harden Show, and there isn't a part of me that is envious. Just being honest.

Harden or Westbrook, if you have a choice?

I'm not even properly happy about the pick. That just sucks for Brogdon.

Hey INFO, weren't you a big Jarnell Stokes fan? He just left his Chinese team with a minor foot issue. He averaged 25 & 14 over there. Just turned 24.
