    Present depth chart

    I am strictly talking about roster quality when I wonder if it could get worse. There is much more hope for the future now, but the present is just ugly. At the beginning of last season we had two quality big men in Gortat, Scola. We had Dudley and Telfair who could shoot from outside...

    Present depth chart

    ESPN lets you look it up by team, so I just had to look at Washington and Phoenix because the list has not been updated since the trade. Following your line of thought about if talent were equally distributed in the league, everyone in the 8 or 9 man rotation would be in the top 240 or 270...

    RIP: Lou Reed (1942-2013)

    Lou Reed is largely responisble for my love of music. As a young teenager I was about to give up on the musical world because I was so sick of the synthesiser heavy, formulaic crap that I heard on the radio everyday. Then I discovered the Velvet Underground and Lou Reed and learned that not...

    Gortat Traded to Wizards

    I think that you are reading wikipedia wrong. It correctly shows on the table that there is a 25% chance for the first pick, 21.5% 2nd, 17.8% 3rd, 35.7% 4th. That adds up to 75%. Only 3 teams can move up in the lottery so the worst pick that the bottom team can get through the lotter is 4th...

    Preseason: Suns at Blazers

    Last season Dragic was 164th in the league in Win Shares/48. He was 79th in P.E.R, 349th on Defensive Rating, While statistics may not tell the whole story, and there is an argument that he is one of the top 50 players I would not say that it is absurd to say he is not one of the top 50. He...

    Simmons' season preview

    Have exciting and entertaining become euphamisms for a team that dunks a lot in their losses?

    Simmons' season preview

    To me your argument seems the same general theme that I keep seeing repeated this summer. To me it sounds like this: "Nevermind all the things that Sarver did that took this from being a great team to what nearly unanimously considered one of the worst in the league. Look at all the things...

    The Bledsoe dilemma

    Clearly you have not been to the Politics and Religion forum, have ignored about half the stuff that I have posted, and have never scrolled to the comments below any online newspaper ever. Or perhaps you may be engaging in a little hyperbole. While I don't think Mayo's contract is a good one...

    The Bledsoe dilemma

    So who in the Western Conference has a worse roster than the Suns? And if we are going to finish between 10-12 who are the 3-5 teams that you see us being better than?

    Who will lead the Suns in scoring (2013/14)

    It reminds me of a joke I heard once: What is the difference PR and BS? . . . Spelling. Hornaceck is part of the public face of a company that is selling a product. Of course he is going to spin everything in a postive light for the Suns organization. Since the Suns don't have a starting...

    Who will lead the Suns in scoring (2013/14)

    The same goes for the person who voted for Kendall Marshall. At least Len managed double digit scoring in college. Marshall can't score in summer league.

    2013/14 Greatest impact: Newcomers

    It certainly reveals a lot about the quality of players that we have added over the last six years. DJ Strawberry and Hakim Warrik voted as greatest impact newcomers: YIKES!

    2013/14 Most Improved: Returning Players

    I reluctantly said Gortat. If there were a "None of the above" option, I probably would have chosen that. I don't think that any of our returning players have much undeveloped potential. Gortat is playing for a contract so he will have extra motivation to shine. If the question were who will...

    Jimmer = Adam Morrison + JJ Redick

    Plus they both have a hot blonde wife. That must mean that they are identical players. Nevermind the fact that Jacobsen was a 6'6" G/F and Jimmer is a 6'2" PG/SG. They must be the same since they have similar levels of pigmentation and share views about religion, kinda like how Kenneth Faried...

    Present depth chart

    This is a message board for one of the league's worst teams and it is the offseason. If the criteria for posting anything is that it has to focus on someone who will be a pillar of Suns history then they might as well close the forum for a few years. Somebody besides Gortat, Dragic, and...

    Caron Butler Traded to Bucks

    I think of it like this: Suppose I went to a greasy Texas BBQ place and picked up dinner to go. I get some brisket, beans, and a garden salad. Now honestly, what are the chances of a garden salad from a greasy BBQ place being any good? The odds are not good, but I bought it anyway. I get...

    Honest question.....who would pay to watch these guys??

    His senior year, I enjoyed wathching Jimmer as much as anyone. I was deployed to Baghdad at the time and it was not as if anyone had alot going on that was particularly enjoyable. I remember sitting down in the dining facility with a group of people who worked in my building for midnight chow...

    NBA standings predictions!

    You probably should have attended that class. Offensive systems should match capabilities of the players on the team. The capabilities of the players on the team have changed and cannot revert back to the previous capabilities. Therefore the system should change. That is a classic example...

    You left out Frye, Ish, and Lee. Larry O'Brien Trophy here we come.

    Caron Butler Traded to Bucks

    Unless we make some more moves prior to opening day, waiving Beasley will be a necessity. We have 17 players under contract (counting Len who should sign soon) and are only allowed to have 15. Beasley and Frye are as good as gone.
