    Oriakhi signs with French team.

    It was pretty sure that he would not make the roster anyways, but it is now pretty much official. Alex Oriakhi will be playing in France. With Len and Gortat having foot issues we may be pretty thin at center. Not like that is anything new for Suns fans...

    Disgruntled star watch

    Kevin Love is no KG, but you can hardly blame Love for Minnesota's losing. Love is a rebounding machine and a solid offensive contributer. He was 4th in the league in offensive win shares a few years back and has the highest season rebounding average in the last decade. I would not want him...

    Disgruntled star watch

    I strongly agree with Eric on the idea of whether or not the coach should change his style to match his players or should seek out players to match his style. A competent coach should be able to adapt his strategy to the tools he has. Besides that, my issue is this: how on earth does anyone...

    The Roster as it Stands.

    Update PG: Dragic, Bledsoe, Marshall SG: Goodwin, Brown, Tucker, Lee SF: Butler, Green, Morris PF: Morris, Beasley C: Gortat, Len, Plumlee Medical?: Frye Won't make the team unless others leave: Oriakhi, Garrett Amnestied but still getting paid: Childress As it stands we have 15 players...

    What should the Suns do with Gortat this summer?

    Saying that your assertion is an opinion does not make it unassailable. You "opined" that Eric Gordon is worth a max contract. That is very different than saying your favorite color is blue. That is saying that a mediocre player with poor knees is worth 1/3 of the salary cap. I think almost...

    Alex Len has surgery on his OTHER ankle...

    Looks like we drafted the reincarnation of Curtis Borchardt.

    What should the Suns do with Gortat this summer?

    In ASUChris's defense, an opinion can be wrong. Look at the "opinions" held by extremists throughout the world. They are just opinions, but they are ill informed and have very bad results. The opinion that Eric Gordon is not worth the max is not as blatently mistaken. But to say that a guy...

    2013 Summer League

    In particular just one summer league game is not enough to prove anything. Marcus Banks scored 42 points for the Suns in a Summer League game.

    2013 Summer League

    All you have to read is the title of a story about game in last year's summer league to know how reliable summer league games predict NBA success. "Unstoppable Adam Morrisson Obliterates Lakers in Summer League Game"...

    2013 Summer League

    Part of the knock agains Olynyk is that while he dominated in the WCC, he struggled against elite defenders. While Olynyk might end up being a great NBA player, Summer League success does not prove that he can do the same thing against NBA defenders in a game that matters.

    The Roster as it Stands.

    By my count, if Frye can play this season that gives us three deep at every position with 15 players under contract. (not counting Childress who we are paying to play X-box and eat Cheetos for a few more years.) PG: Dragic, Bledsoe, Marshall SG: Goodwin, Brown, Lee SF: Butler, Tucker, Mc...

    The Roster as it Stands.

    You forgot Malcolm Lee who came as part of the Goodwin trade. That gives us 13 on the active roster without signing any free agents other than exercising the option on Tucker. I can't seem to get excited about this roster.

    Strategy and Len

    Those kind of dunks are still worth 2 points, right? If having your head below the rim is proof that you are not athletic enough, then most of the NBA is not athletic enough to play in the NBA.

    DX: Noel vs. Len

    I had to go double check, but after careful measurement I am far below that on both height and weight. I knew there must be a reason why I sit a a desk all day instead of playing pro-basketball. Obviously, being 14 inches shorter I am less likely to have bad feet, ankles, and knees. But I...

    DX: Noel vs. Len

    I had a stress fracture in my foot when I was about his age. After 6 months I was fine and have not had any problems since. I've run marathons and have not felt problems with my feet over the next 20 years.

    Grade the Suns 2013 draft

    I was feeling generous and gave B. I can't beleive that we passed on McLemore . I guess the stuff about his poor workout was not just a smokescreen. Len is a pretty safe pick, but I can't get excited about him. I like Goodwin at 29. He probably won't pan out, but if he learns to shoot...

    league finally confirms Goodwin deal

    So we also picked up Malcolm Lee out of this as well? I doubt Lee see much court time.

    Jason Kidd retires

    Besides the french fry incident, the thing I remember most from Kidd was his quadruple double against the Knicks. His otherwise great game was marred by 14 turnovers. That is what I remember from Kidd. Amazing play, with enough there to screw it up to keep him from being one of my favorite Suns.

    Doom and gloom (NBA Future Power Rankings)

    Once again ESPN has ranked us as 29th in the Future Power Rankings, with only Charlotte having a dimmer future than the Suns. Of note we were ranked last in players, 29th in management, and 25th in projected salary cap situation and willingness to exceed the cap and pay luxury tax...

    Michael Beasley being investigated for alleged sexual assault

    In that case, what a bargain! I say let's trade him straight up for Lebron and a few first rounders. :) $12 million or $9 million over the next two years, I can't imagine anyone wanting to pay to have this waste of a roster spot on their team.

    Michael Beasley being investigated for alleged sexual assault

    Beasley has no trade value until he is an expiring contract. His on court contributions are generally negative. His PER has dropped every season he has been in the league. He plays laughable defense. He has a negative Wins Share. He is a distraction off courts. He has had drug...

    Michael Beasley being investigated for alleged sexual assault

    I've been both a prosecutor and a defense attorney on a number of sexual assualt cases. The chances of getting a conviction on a case where the victim comes forward months later are extremely low. They are very tough cases to prove in the best of circumstances, since there is almost never any...

    Wow! Is Sarver Thinking of Selling? Also, news on GM Search!

    Too often "thinking outside the box" is used as justification for doing something extremely stupid that everyone should have known at the time was a stupid idea. Hiring an agent as the GM is thinking outside the box, and look where it got us. Other than making for great press conferences...

    GM Blanks out

    Agreed. It is hard to call anyone 14th pick a failure, since the expectations are pretty low once you get to that point. But Henson is a pretty darn good pick for the end of the lottery. Granted, he doesn't get a lot of minutes He has a higher PER than anyone on the Suns and when he has...
