    New injury updates on Len, Gortat and Lee

    Darn it. I was caught exaggerating on the Internet. :D I have to admit that you are right. Len appears to be much more athletically gifted than Big Jake. I hope that athletism is not greatly diminished by the foot and ankle problems. Still, I don't think that he is as athletic as Kwame...

    New injury updates on Len, Gortat and Lee

    The comparison has its flaws, but the Ziggy Ansah is probably the best comparison of the players mentioned above. That is because both Len and Ansah have never done anything in a regular season professional game and we don't know whether or not they will live up to the expectations that come...

    New injury updates on Len, Gortat and Lee

    I would not want to imply you are a nimrod or to ostracize you over this, but if you are upset over etymology of words, you may end up in an emotional shambles. Etymology nimrod = mighty hunter ostrasize = vote using tiles shambles = bench I get that this is a sports message board during the...

    Plumlee might be another Mcdonough steal

    The Mk Morris and Frye both had a Defensive Win Share of 1.9 in their last seasons played. Morris has a career Defensive Rating Average of 105, Frye's is 108. They are pretty even statistically. Neither is very impressive.

    So if he weighs the same as a duck . . .

    Plumlee might be another Mcdonough steal

    I don't think that this is support for Frye as much as it is an indictment against our current roster. Who else do we have on the team that that is a good three point shooter? Nobody. What PF do we have that has ever averaged a very pedestrian 12 points and 6 rebounds? Micheal Beasley if you...

    New injury updates on Len, Gortat and Lee

    So what you are saying is that Len is actually a reincarnated evil wizard sent from space to destroy humanity, right?

    OT: Nikola Pekovic gets 5yr/$60Mil deal

    I agree whole heartedly. Gortat had a Win Share/48 of .085 last season. That puts him in the very elite position of being the 221st best player in the league. By PER he was much better. His 15.4 PER puts him at the league's 141st best player. Gortat is a servicable big man. But he is not...

    Suns tease the new uniforms

    But that is tee, not an official jersey. There has always been a variety of T-shirts available. I guess the upside is that a t-shirt is about a third the cost of a jersey.

    Suns tease the new uniforms

    I was hoping that there would be purple sleeved uniform. I've reached an age where I really have no business wearing a tank top in public. The sleeves give this old guy a chance to wear the official jersey without wearing a t-shirt underneath (looks trailer-parkish) or emotionally scarring...

    OT: Nikola Pekovic gets 5yr/$60Mil deal

    Excellent point. In a moment of insanity, I responded as if what NBA players asks for has relevance or is somehow connected to reality. Clearly that is not the case. I agree that regardless of what he asks for the Suns should not be giving a lot of money to a big man with bad foot and who...

    OT: Nikola Pekovic gets 5yr/$60Mil deal

    The only thing that makes me think that Gortat may ask for that kind of money is that Gortat has a tendency towards unrealistic self-evaluation.

    OT: Nikola Pekovic gets 5yr/$60Mil deal

    Saying 29-year-old Gortat is "MUCH" older than 27-year-old Pekovic is a bit of exaggeration. But I do agree that Gortat was very mediocre last year, while Pekovic has improved each of his three seasons in the league. Unless Gortat has a dramatic improvement this season, he ain't getting paid...

    LeBron: Suns got "something special" in Bledsoe

    It's not just that nothing is going on. So much seems to be on hold or in a waiting status. We are waiting to find out what happens to Beasley. We are waiting to see if Frye will be able to play again. We are waiting to see how Len and Gortat heal. We are waiting to see how Dragic and Bledsoe...

    Beasley arrested for possession of marijuana

    I suppose that I am being a bit broad in my definition of a mental issue. I lump stupidity into the category of mental issues. I would not be shocked at all if the depression that he was treated for back in 2009 was part of the reason why he keeps abusing drugs. But it may just be that he is...

    Plumlee might be another Mcdonough steal

    There may be some sort of issue with consistancy in measuring from year to year, but Plumlee's combine vertical leap is better than Blake Griffin's. In the 2012 combine, Plumlee tied for the second best maximum vertical jump at 40.5, tied for third with a standing vertical jump of 34.0 and...

    Beasley arrested for possession of marijuana

    This is just as legitimate as the Nigerian prince who is giving me 10% of his fortune in exchange for giving him my account information so he can get his inheritance of of the country. :D On a more serious note, I have gone from being angry with Beasely to feeling sorry for him. Clearly the...

    Beasley arrested for possession of marijuana

    Beasley in a state where recreational pot is legal? What could possibly go wrong there?

    Beasley arrested for possession of marijuana

    I found this gem about Beasley via his DraftExpress profile. It reference an interview with his college coach from the link below. “I wish my kids will grow up to have his character and I’ve got three of them. He’s phenomenal and he’s a treat to be around. He makes coaching an easy...

    Beasley arrested for possession of marijuana

    An arrest is a lot different from a conviction. At this stage he is still "innocent until proven guilty." Although from what is reported a conviction sounds likely. However, my own experience (as an attorney not defendant) is that what gets written in police reports and what can actually be...

    Beasley arrested for possession of marijuana

    Beasley is stupid for smoking pot and even more of a moron for doing in his car where he could: A. Easily end up hurting someone. B. Easily get caught C. Not watch the Big Lebowski That being said, does this really change much of anything? While he has had issues in the past, this would be...

    Why is everyone already in love with Hornacek?

    As coach of the Suns, Hornaceck has never pulled a hot player, let another team go on a big run without calling a timeout, overplayed an injured player, alientated his players, drawn up a bonehead play at the end of the game, or even lost a regular season game. He is an unknown quantity, but...

    Gortat's foot still bothering him

    Sadly, yes. I was meant to be generous and type 12 and 8. 18 and 8 is excessively generous. 18 and 8 is better than he did back when Steve Nash was holding him back.;)

    Oriakhi signs with French team.

    Yeah, this is not exactly earth shattering news. Oriakhi averaged about 3 points in summer league. He was not going to make the team. Before the season begins we should also hear that Garrett has signed in China or Europe. There is no room on the roster for either.

    Gortat's foot still bothering him

    When I read Polish Machine, I think of a floor buffer more than an intimidating person from Poland. A $7 million dollar expiring contract for a center who averages 18 and 8 has some trade value. It is a big pricey for a machine that polishes things.
