Asked about the choice of Markieff over his twin brother Marcus, Blanks was a bit unclear in his response, "I think the draft's a funny thing. You never know why teams do what they do...As to why Markieff over Marcus, who knows."


:lmao:lmao:lmao this abortion of a team

Another nugget of greatness from Token Blanks:

"I certainly hope he can come in. I think he can come in and impact the roster. That will be up to coach Gentry and his staff in terms of his minutes. Lon (Babby), John Treloar, and myself will be pushing from the outside to try and get him on the floor as soon as possible."

:lmao telling the media you're a meddling GM who doesn't let the coach do his job

I actually clicked on the link to see if you were making that up.

Remarkable. "Who knows?" Really?

It's like Sarver made a concerted effort to find the biggest morons possible as replacements for Kerr and David Griffin. I had to read that like 5 times to make sure I read it right.

I'm guessing because Markieff is a 4 and Marcus is projected to be a 3. Suns don't need a 3, but still.

I like how they are identical twins and one is a natural 4 and the other is a 3. :dizzy

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Markieff was a 6'9" center in college while Marcus was a 6'8" PF. Markieff is gonna have a lot more trouble becoming a PF than Marcus will becoming a SF. Neither one will amount to anything.

:lol This is crazy. I'm not one to try and hang people up because of their comments because I think people always over analyze, but this is really dumb.

[Isitjustme?]

Oh, I thought they was identical...

Babby equally funny retarded things:

"People question the (Aaron) Brooks trade, but let's see how it ends up. We're not going to get every one right.":lmao:lmao, what does this guy think, he can make a really retarded trade and then all will be forgiven if he says, "Well, nobody's perfect!"

Welts said that Babby, in his first year with the franchise, was amazed by the negative reaction to the Suns' 40-42 record this past season.
Really Lon? You were amazed at fans who were pissed their team went from the WCF to the lottery in one year solely because of dumb front office decision :lmao? Did you think 40-42 was something Suns fans would be happy with?

Lance Blanks used to work for the Spurs, didn't he?

I dunno about that, but his brother made some great workout videos back in the day:

Sucks, because the Suns were one of the few teams I enjoy watching play.

[Kai]

Marcus Played the 3 in High School. Even played some point guard. He didn't play power forward until he got to Kansas, where he developed some nice post moves. I'm cautiously optimistic about his future, but I wouldn't be too surprised if he doesn't have too much of an impact.

You're really missing the point of this thread.

[Leetonidas]

He always was the worst stand in for Sean

:lol my bad. lol Suns FO.

[Pelicans78]

The Suns will be fine without Marcus.

[jag]

Like Rockets fan and real Cavs fan, DOK needs to nut up and have his team name changed to the beloved boys in purple.

[TimmehC]

lol Robin Lopez
lol Taylor Griffin
lol Jarron Collins
lol Markieff Morris

Side note: I would hope this is building to some kind of crazy trade in the Suns' favor. Playoffs aren't the same without them.
