    Suns getting Marcus Morris?

    He types with a lisp.

    Grading the Suns trade deadline moves

    Is that the standard now? If they don't act like complete morons then it is an A+? So when it comes time for the Draft, do we give the front office an A+ if the remember to draft a basketball player rather than a shortstop?

    Grading the Suns trade deadline moves

    I bumped the grade from a C to a C+ because it is actually kind of amusing that we now have twins on the team. Extra credit for whimsy. We added a bench player who will struggle to get playing time and lost a bench player who was not getting any playing time. They didn't make the team...

    James Harden Traded to Houston

    We also don't have anyone with star potential. We have a couple of projects who MIGHT turn into solid players and everyone else is at or past their prime.

    Telfair to the Raptors for Haddadi

    So we traded a player who had no future with the Suns and was getting no playing time (Telfair) for a player who has virtually no chance of having a future (Haddadi) and a second round pick that has small chance having a future with the Suns. Plus Mr. Sarver gets to save $200K. Not exactly...

    Suns getting Marcus Morris?

    I'd say this has to be one of the best trades for a player averaging 8 pts and 4 boards that I have seen.

    Suns @ Blazers Game Thread 2-19-13

    I still think that Alton Ford had the skill set to be one of the all time greats. He just needed to be moved to Tight End.

    Is MJ right?

    He is as right on this as this as he was on his decision to draft Kwame Brown with the first pick.

    Suns get lottery pick from Lakers if they miss playoffs

    Kobe has no points in the first half vs the Bobcats. It is like the second half of game 5 in the 2007 first round series against the Suns. He seems to have given up. I never thought watching a team implode could be such fun.

    Suns get lottery pick from Lakers if they miss playoffs

    Pringles won't mind. Apparently Earl Clark is a better player anyways. ;)

    Suns get lottery pick from Lakers if they miss playoffs

    Then again, the fact that Tiger Woods was not winning was front page news for about two years after he got beat up by his wife. ;)

    Suns get lottery pick from Lakers if they miss playoffs

    They have won two in a row and 5 of their last 6 games. But with the exception of beating the Thunder at home, none of their wins have been all that impressive. Beating the Jazz and Pelicans at home and T-Pups and Pistons on the road is nothing to write home about for a team that was supposed...

    Suns vs Lakers 1/30/13

    I finally watched the replay last night, and I could not believe how slow the Lakers are. This will not be the Lakers version of 7 Seconds or Less. Pringles maybe lucky to get 7 decades or less out of those guys. Any team that likes to run is going to get a lot of easy baskets against L.A...

    Draft Pick Watch

    There is no elaboration for individual standing with the Hollinger Playoff Odds. It takes the Hollinger Power Rankings (computer generated) and runs the remaining games through thousands of simulations to generate final standings. The aggregated results are the playoff odds. So it does not...

    Draft Pick Watch

    What should they do, quit trying? We have mediocre talent so we are going to beat bad teams a fair amount of the time and occasionally beat a good team. If every team that knew it was not going to make the playoffs just gave up an intentionally lost all of its games, the NBA would be almost...

    Do you have confidence with Babby and the 2013 draft?

    I am sorry, but Beasley may be bad, but he is not nearly as bad as Childress. Childress was waived by the Nets and I doubt he ever laces up in the NBA again. The man is just plain awful.

    Draft Pick Watch

    Which goes to Elindholm's point about how much luck is involved. All those players taken at 13 were available at 12, but that didn't keep Vladimir Radmanovic from being drafted before Richard Jefferson and Hilton Armstrong before Thabo Sefolosha. None of those players were ever anything you...

    Draft Pick Watch

    My point was not really about the Colangelo regime versus the current regime, but rather that there is not much hope of getting a great player with the 12th or 13th pick, although it is much harder to get a great player with a late first rounder. Sure, the Suns got two great players in Nash and...

    Although I do not share it; I appreciate your optimism.

    Draft Pick Watch

    In other words, it is the diffence between getting a player like Markieff Morris or Kendall Marshall versus Big Jake or Casey Jacobsen. :sad:

    Draft Pick Watch

    I admit that Harden does look fantastic. What I meant was that Houston, as a team looks terrible. Harden and Lin are both trying to do way too much and the team just looks sloppy. The team seems to be in a free fall, despite Harden being rather amazing.

    Draft Pick Watch

    I would put Houston in the free fall camp as well. I doubt that any other backcourt tandem comes close to turning the ball over more often than Lin and Harden. The look just terrible.

    Draft Pick Watch

    I have my doubts on two points above. First I doubt that the Lakers split with PHX and NO. The Lakers are struggling, but even with Howard out they should be able to handle the Future Pelicans and Suns. Both teams are just awful. My bigger concern is the often repeated idea that a team...

    Suns @ Kings Game Thread 1-23-13

    How many clean slates does a guy get? Beasley had a remarkable Freshman season at K-State, but since then has been underwhelming. I would love it if he turned into a good player for the Suns, but I just don't see it happening. If Hunter can get Beasley to be 75% of what he was supposed to be...

    Lakers would be better off with Gortat

    I know this was meant to be ironic, but it almost seems prophetic. Starting Earl Clark in front of Gasol is a close to this as the Lakers could achieve under the CBA. His nbadraft.net profile compared him to a the Big Croissant. Pringles is starting a poor-man's Boris Diaw over one of the...
