Yep. Spurs moved on from him already.

Dude might be worse than we thought. The Suns are a bottom 2 organization right now.

It's not a matter of 'better' or 'worse'. Guys sometimes just get a shot with a shitty team that they wouldn't with a team like SA that usually has 12+ roster spots locked in every year. I don't think it's talent or smarts that cost him his spot. It was passivity. Anyway, we drafted two forwards this year, so I wish him good luck and godspeed.

Once we saw what Keldon could do the writing was on the wall - He is a good kid who works hard that’s why the Suns want him.

Fair enough. That's why I said "might be", though. Being let go by the Spurs doesn't mean a player sucks because, as you correctly point out, the roster is essentially full. My point is that being picked up by the Suns is no indicator of a player being good because they're such a shit organization.

Happy suns

Suns don't really have "project" players. They have short-term rentals. I've never seen them develop anyone.

As much hype from Coach Brown, I kept waiting it would translate but it didn’t really, and Spurs was in dire need of that SF/PF who can play 3 and D. But he underwhelms tbh.

Any word on Huestis?

Former Pacers and Spurs forward Ben Moore is in advanced discussions with Galatasaray, a source told


I liked Moore, and I think he'll do well in Europe. But Galatasaray has had sort of a history of not paying players. I knew a guy who played for them a few years back. I think their whole roster budget was like 5-6 Million, and they still wound up screwing some guys out of part of what they owed them.

After watching Moore play in summer leagues, I believe he is not NBA material.

If he were either bigger or more athletic, he would be.
