    Who will be the Suns new Head Coach?

    I'd be more than happy with Fizdale. I read an article recently about how to fix the Suns and the author started out by hiring Fizdale to coach the team. It stated it so matter-of-factly that I wondered if it was common speculation that McD was targetting him. Heck, I wished we'd have grabbed...

    If the Suns have the #2 pick, who should they pick?

    If it were known that both #3 and #4 wanted Doncic or both wanted Bagley and one of them had a pick like #7, I'd try work a deal with that team to snag the #7 plus their earlier pick. I'd toss in a pick in the teens to sweeten the deal. I'd take Bamba with their low pick and use #7 on whoever...

    Pick Watch 2018

    Our next 'trap' game is against Detroit next Tuesday. They've been falling like a rock lately - 2-8 in their last 10. They're not in the running for a top 5 pick but they still may have decided to tank. It's a home game for them so that might help.. After them we visit Cleveland and Orlando...

    Pick Watch 2018

    All the East teams in the tankathon lost tonight - Orlando hasn't officially lost yet but they trail the Spurs by 40 in the 4th. Mavs beat the relentless Knicks... We didn't surprise the Cavs at the start of the game...

    Cavaliers @ Suns game thread 3-13-18

    I hope the Cavs are sufficienctly embarrassed at getting kicked around good at the hands of the Clips and Lakers that they'll play all out against the Suns. I've been worried about this game because the Sunnies figure to be up for it. And they played well last game despite losing.

    Pick Watch 2018

    I'm starting to think we should keep all our draft picks this year and bring as many guys into camp as we can. I'm not wanting the team to get younger or anything but we are handicapped by our current youth failing to improve or regressing. They've mostly had ample opportunity except for Reed...

    Your solution for tanking

    Yep, our 47the loss sealed our fate but I didn't know it until I looked closely at the standings as I was finishing up that post.

    Your solution for tanking

    The reason I worked out the elimination equation is I was wondering how early in the season can a team be eliminated. Say that a team had 10 wins and there were three or four teams heading towards the bubble but only two can make it, which is pretty common. Teams in that condition are usually...

    Your solution for tanking

    If we lose tonight we will be mathematically eliminated. For lottery purposes we only have to look at wins but for elimination you only have to consider losses. The rule is: when 8 teams in your conference have more wins than (82 - your_losses) you are mathematically eliminated. If we lose...

    How good is Booker?

    I don't follow the Blazers closely, but off the top of my head I'd say that their team management is more the problem than Lillard. C.J. is probably not the kind of SG to put next to him, for starters. They'd have done well to snap up Oladipo or someone like that who can defend better and...

    Marquese Chriss

    I wonder how close the Suns - and other NBA teams - come to coaching their young players the optimum amount. Considering how much they are paid and how young they are it could be a worthwhile investment for most every player to have a coach that works with him almost constantly - the cost...

    The 2017-2018 Around the NBA thread

    I'd guess we're about in the middle... maybe lower since we didn't have Payton when it was posted Edit: We did have Payton. By the middle I meant in the middle of the non-playoff teams... and that is about where we were placed. Who worries about Golden State's young core...

    Thunder @ Suns game thread 3-2-18

    A clear cut BPA is one thing, if it's not clear fill a need, especially a crying need. Len is our best big, and it's not clear that Bender or Chriss will surpass him - that is a wildly weeping need. Another factor is that I want McD drafting a big when there is an obvious choice available, as...

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    Yikes is right but I hope that's the final order since we're more likely drafting 4-8 than 1-3. Not that I follow college ball enough to know much but from watching a few highlights and listening to you guys talk, my wish list is (in order) Ayton, Bamba, Jackson, Bagley. I'm happy with our...

    I would have given Bledsoe for almost nothing but I wouldn't have traded him straight up for Kyrie - he'd have been a poison pill, IMO.

    2012-2013 NBA Prospects thread

    Oladipo was the only guard or wing I wanted, which looked like a bad call until he blossomed this year at Indy. I wanted bigs but to avoid Bennett, Noel and Zeller. I wanted Dieng or Adams and was neutral on Len. I thought about Gobert but I figured he was about 20-1 to be a bust - the kind...

    Evaluating Triano

    Who is Warren in this context, and what is he out of? Jay Triano, Luke Walton and David Fizdale are the only three people in this discussion - Warren is closest to Walton in spelling but that doesn't make much sense.

    Dare I say the "T" word . . . ?

    Rankest of 'tankers' I compared three different methods of ranking and rating the nine teams that are in the running for worst WL record. The Knicks appeared to be out of until they lost KP but they're 1-9 in their last 10 games so they still have a remote chance. The first method is one we...

    Not sure I can describe this...

    I'm diabetic which means I'm a good bet for kidney problems eventually. I haven't looked one up yet but there are dieticians that specialize in diets for kidney disease - called 'renal dieticians'. You probably know that but I thought I'd mention it just in case you don't.
