Suns News: Week 18 (2/14 - 2/20)

[Flagrant Fowl]

What's the rule for these things? We're getting these guys at their career peak or just on the Suns?

Paul - 5
Richardson - 3
Green - 1
Marion - 5
McGee - 1

I took it as suns players

If that's the case, $3 for Cam Johnson is hilarious and McGee should be replaced by Chandler. No disrespect to McGee, he just can't play much more than 20mpg anymore.

The whole thing $3 and less is pretty wacky, to be honest.

There’s no Barkley on that list…
I might go with CP3 Mikal Cam Raja and JaVale, tho this lineup lacks a secondary ball handler, and Rubio for a buck is hard to pass up.

List is of prominent Suns from 2002-22. Barkley was retired by then ...

[Nodack]

McGee for a buck seems like a deal too.

McGee and Rubio for $1 are pretty good deals. Shaq for $4 is tough to stomach; Marbury is wildly overpriced, and most of the $3 tier outside of Cam Johnson is a bad deal IMO.

Might miss some games, but sounds like it’s not a serious injury

[Nodack]

I’ll believe an mri over Booker seeing him in the locker room.

Yep

Good news is that Shamet and Payne sound like they are ready to go, which will certainly compensate some of that loss.

Prime Shaq is worth $5 but Suns' Shaq is worth $2 at most.

Unfortunately, mri's don't talk.

Paul is out there playing Chess while everybody else is playing Go Fish.

Chris Paul indicates thumb injury might force him to miss some time for first-place Phoenix Suns

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/333 ... oenix-suns

Suns coach Monty Williams, who is coaching Team LeBron, declined to say how long he expects Paul to be out. The Suns have a history of being secretive with Paul's injuries. He had left wrist surgery after the Finals last July and the team never announced it.

Paul hasn't missed a game this season and is averaging 14.9 points and a league-best 10.7 assists for first-place Phoenix.

"I always want to play. When I felt that in my hand, I was mad for all types of reasons," Paul said. "Obviously we're not going to [rush it]. I'm going to try to heal as fast as physically possible. The second I'm able to play, I guarantee you I will be playing."

[The Bobster]

They aren't very transparent when it comes to injuries. This year we've all been wondering about the availability of players like Ayton, Payne, Crowder, Nader, Kaminsky, Shamet and now Paul. I guess they figure it gives them some sort of competitive edge.

same for me. Basically took it as their best season as a Sun.

More like -2.

[LazarusLong]

Rubio (1), Bell (2), Johnson (4), Marion (5), Frye (2). Spacing and some decent defense.

[Shabazz]

Dafuq??

[Split T]

Well that makes me feel better if true. He was a no-brainer pick. Probably didn’t think he’d play for us at all and wanted a chance to play.
