I liked Jordan Bell, though not for us. But in the playoffs the Warriors almost couldn't play him because he can't shoot.
That's funny coming from Rubio's biggest fan.
I don't mind if the PG is a mediocre shooter, so long as the other players in the lineup with him can shoot well. Our projected starting lineup has 4 decent-to-good shooters around Rubio in Booker, Oubre, Saric, and Ayton. That's a well-balanced offensive lineup with plenty of shooting for most nights.
Players currently on our roster who were on our roster 13 months ago:
Devin Booker
Josh Jackson (...for now)
That is stunning. I know we've had some roster turnover, but that is ridiculous.
I wish we had had more turnover during the last 5 years. It was crazy how long we held on to bad players,
James Jones has left his mark!
James said that a lot of things, but it seems that he's delivered on turning over the roster, bringing in vets and building the team around Booker and Ayton.

What? I think we had more turnovers than anyone in the league over the last five years.
Oh, turnover. Not turnovers. Well that’s very different.

LOL. What percentage of the readers here will get that reference? I recognized it, but only because my dad used to quote it frequently and showed me old videos of those sketches.

Milwaukee's biggest mistake was signing bledsoe, which led to Brogdon leaving .
Sound familiar?

Both of these signings are very disappointing as a Suns fan.

Meh.
WCS might do well with the GSW, but he's too much of a wildcard on and off the court for this Suns team right now. Like I said about the Rubio signing, we need adults in the locker room.
There will always be guys like Vonleh available on a one-year deal.

WCS took way less to play with the Warriors.
Vonleh at 2 mil vs Kaminsky at 5...FO wanted shooters/floor spacers and got their guy. Vonleh can shoot but isn't an offensive player really. Would've helped defensively and on the boards.

This is true. I'm not a Kaminsky fan in the slightest. I think he's a younger Ryan Anderson, which means this is probably his last NBA contract and his next deal will be with a team in Europe.
