Like him with Bled.
Probably trade the Dragon.
No, they've set their cap on Dragic. Blood is being denigrated as we speak.Quote:

You pissed around waiting on James when you knew you had no chance. You lost Frye, Hawes and the kid up in Utah. And now no Love either. Hey, set you bonnet for Durant.Quote:

I hate to see Ennis and Goodwin lose out on meaningful minutes. I still think a trade is in the works involving Dragic or Bledsoe.
Still, Isaiah Thomas and Gerald Green off the bench is sick. Those guys can both drop 30 points at any given time.
Of course there is. This is a smokescreen so they don't look foolish. They hate looking foolish here.Quote:

Thomas is a solid PG... on the Patty Mills mold... good pickup
After watching Jodie Meeks, Channing Frye, Gordon Hayward, and Jordan Hill get absurd contracts, I don't think sub-$7mil-per-year is bad for a guy that can put up 20 points, 6 assists, 45% FG, and 85% FT. I don't expect him to average those numbers next year, but he'll be a great 6th man.Quote:

What did Phoenix give up for Thomas?
As curious a signing as it is a good vale for 20 PPG, 6 APG as a starter.
Frye wasn't worth what he got, and Hayward isn't worth the Max, but I hated losing Hawes. Younger, cheaper Frye with better recovery speed.
Feels like "asset" acquisition. Suns just signed a poor-mans Lillard at 7+ per year. That'll be worth a few 1sts in time to somebody. Once Bledsoe/Tucker are re-signed the CAP space available only this season would be gone. So use it wisely, bring in young talent, give yourself outs/options, and don't waste opportunities.
Alex Oriahki and trade exception from Butler-to-Milwaukee trade last summer.Quote:

7 mil is pretty good in this year's market for one of the best "heat check" scorers in the league, a guy that could be a great 6th man..
So basically nothing.Quote:

You can't have a 5'9" starting point guard, X. It's untenable. Even off the bench it's impossible.Quote:

Patty Mills disagrees. He's 5'11" and played a huge role for the champions.Quote:

Correct
Nate Robinson being an exception with a few others I'm sure. He has incredible athleticism for his size and his jumpshot and court vision will only get better. I would be excited if I'm a Suns fan.Quote:
