    The 2017-2018 Around the NBA thread

    I wouldn't say they've overachieved in the postseason without Aldridge.

    Compensation for Budenholzer?

    Things might be different for technical jobs as opposed to managerial. Never, as an interviewee or interviewer was there any discussion of salary. Heck, if they'd have asked me I wouldn't have been able to answer because I didn't know what the salary would be - I could have guessed fairly...

    2018 Playoffs Thread

    Bledsoe is having a very good game shooting for the Bucks. 8/9 from the field, 1/1 on 3's and 4/4 FTs. Only 1 ast though and 2 TOs. Celtics up by 13 in the late 3rd Q.

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    Last year I didn't want to pick 1 or 2 because I was afraid McD would pick Ball or Fultz - go with popular vote so to speak. He might have stuck with Jackson, but why let him have a chance to go awry. This year it's not so clear cut, except #1 is ideal as I'd expect McD to pick Ayton. I...

    2018 Playoffs Thread

    Pacers held on 92-90 to go up 2-1 on Cleveland. The other Bogdanovic had a huge game for them. Wiz dumped Toronto by 18, so maybe they have some life left in them. Wall and Beal did their thing. D. Wright, their backup PG who do so well earlier, didn't contribute much. Their other backup...

    Choose The Suns Next Head Coach?

    No he hasn't and I hope the Suns give him a look as well as Fizdale, time permitting. I think both got raw deals from their teams. I never got any kind of a sense of Kokoskov while he was here but what he did with Dragic & company in the Euroleague was impressive. I'd put him ahead of the two...

    Summer trades?

    I'd take Nurkic over Len at the same money but I won't be surprised if Nurkic gets twice as much as Lenny boy. He may be worth it because I'm not sure Len can play starters minutes... heck, maybe Nurkic can't either... maybe that's why he fell off this year and isn't doing much in the playoffs...

    Summer trades?

    I do think Len gets an offer this year but my guess is no more than 2 yrs/12 million. After the way he performed the prior year, I'd be thinking he was probably playing for a contract this year. I also think he'll take the offer to get away from Phoenix even if we offered more, say a million...

    I attempted to add a vote for Bud, but I couldn't get it to do that.

    Compensation for Budenholzer?

    It would be an awfully good sign if Sarver goes along with paying a coach 7 mil. I'd like to see the deal close soon - like today! I expect McD to do a decent job of limiting the compensation to Atlanta.

    2018 Playoffs Thread

    Wade went a little nuts against the Sixers, leading his team to knot up the series. Dragic and James Johnson contributed heavily to the win.

    Elfrid Payton finally gets a hair cut?

    Is Vanvleet an FA this year? Toronto likes him but they have Delon Wright(PG) who they also like so I wouldn't expect them to overpay to retain Vanvleet. I don't know Wright's contract status but he's just finished his 3rd season so he might be an FA, too. Wright is 6'5 to Vanvleet's 6'0 and...

    Choose The Suns Next Head Coach?

    Give Bud carte blanche with his assistants - he merits that, for sure. If Triano wants to coach NAZ, i'd run that by Bud before I made the move - he may have someone he'd prefer in that slot, too. I'd like to see the Suns make better use of their minor league team, especially now when we're...

    A new Brandon Knight?

    I've no faith in BK at all. His words have always been far ahead of his actions... from day 1.

    Best news on the new coach front so far! And he is interested enough to ask to talk to us! We'll see if Sarver truly is willing to spend serious $$ for a coach.

    The ties involved in draft order can feature a team in EC vs a team is WC, which of course, isn't resolved by playoff seeding.

    Dang, I've got Direct TV, too so I will probably get hit with the same choice.

    Booker: “This is the last time I don’t want to make the playoffs. I’m serious”

    We'll have to draft two players that can start immediately to have any prayer of making the playoffs next year and one of Chriss or Bender will have to breakout - consistently matching their best games of this past season. Assuming Reed rounds into form and Peters plays something like he did in...

    Gambo Said this today about Doncic .........

    I hope you don't expect us to believe the media knew and withheld that information from their readers/listeners for days. Last year the board concensus was that we would take Jackson with #4 if he was there and there were indications from who we worked out of who we would not pick but I don't...

    Emergency TANK!

    What I'm saying is that I like his game the best of all the players in the draft. I'm biased in favor of defensive skills, I will admit.

    Emergency TANK!

    This is too easy, at #4 you take Bamba... and be glad you avoided the temptations at 1, 2, and 3.
