    Sources: Lakers trying to acquire Suns forward Trevor Ariza in a three-team deal

    That is who the OP's post said.

    Fire Robert Sarver

    Bicklley is much more likely to be heard than we are, and there is quite a chorus saying about the same things in the league media. And it's likely to get worse, so I'm thinking we aren't that far from a league intervention. Sarver is detrimental to the league so I think they can muster a...

    Poll - Igor Kokoskov's Future With the Suns

    I don't think Igor has a big communication issue, but even a minor one on top of everything else might be like the 'last straw' effect. I think the biggest issue for him was the firing of McD - I don't know his standing with the rest of the Suns FO, but I imagine he feels like he's standing in...

    It's Over for Suns

    Last year Warren was terrible from 3 and avoided shooting them when he could. This year he's looking for them and shooting them well. That's why everyone suddenly wants to keep him.

    I think the Wiz have a deadline on Wall of 8 December. Probably a trade for Ariza...

    Suns @ Trail Blazers 12-6-18

    Does anyone remember if Philly was so lackluster when they were in their tanking streak... I never watched one of the their games... Shoot, we are going to have to get Booker and Warren back before teams can underestimate us...

    Poll - Igor Kokoskov's Future With the Suns

    The cheapest move Sarver can make is to demote Igor and make someone else the interim HC. Wouldn't surprise me if it was not Prunty, the lead assistant. Would he go with James Jones?

    It’s time to quit babying Booker

    I doubt that any of them would be willing to come here and play back up, certainly not Hill or Dinwiddie. I wouldn't be surprised if it would take our own pick to get one of those two. Jones is having an off year shooting so he might be a possibility. We'd be betting on a change of scenery...

    Poll - Igor Kokoskov's Future With the Suns

    It's hard to stay interested in the problems of this team. We all know that Sarver is the real problem and we also know that no one who is competent will come to work for him. In fact, if someone competent was willing to do it just for the sake of players and fans, Sarver wouldn't hire him...

    No Book... probably ought to start Crawford so Okobo deosn't feel under the gun. Never imagined I'd ever say that...

    Magic @ Suns 11-30-18

    It would be a good game to experiment with Holmes starting the game alongside Ayton... maybe he won't feel overwhelmed again. It's a lot better idea than starting JJ at PF but Igor doesn't seem to think along those lines yet. Heck, the way Holmes has been playing he's crying for more floor...

    Suns @ Clippers 11-28-18

    I'm all for giving Holmes some minutes at PF - alongside Ayton. It might be good to have them start together, as it might help Ayton when he's facing a tough match up. In reality he's not overmatched but he seems to think he is. About five minutes of PT for Holmes then sub him out so he's...

    2018-19 Season | Point Guard Discussion

    IMO, we dodged a bullet when Fultz went before our pick in the draft. I certainly don't want to take a flyer on him now that his flaws have surfaced. His salary alone makes him high risk, and my opinion is low chance of large gain. After the 8th we'll know the story on Dinwiddie who is a much...

    Suns @ Clippers 11-28-18

    The odds are against Okobo being the answer, at least not in the near term. In any case the answer at PG is by no means the whole answer for the team - as you said, tenacity and muscle are greatly needed. At least the team is playing harder now. Holmes was a good step in the right direction...

    Pacers @ Suns 11-27-18

    Daniels shooting hasn't been good this year. I'd go with Okobo, who may yet pan out while Canaan and Daniels project almost nothing in the future. Frankly, now I wish we'd have kept Harrison. I was ticked at him when he stopped playing hard-nosed defense but at least he can do it. He was...

    The problems stemmed from Hornacek and McD not being tuned into the players - they were caught off guard and reacted in panic mode.

    The 2019 Draft

    I was dead set against Chiss because of poor rebounding and defending and I simply didn't believe anyone would touch Bender until late in first round. Four was high for Sabonis, but his dad was so great I might have taken him - good genes, you know. I also liked Labissiere but was pretty far...

    Suns @ Pistons 11-25-18

    Hopefully Igor will help matters by expanding Holmes role on the floor. No reason he couldn't handle some minutes at PF. We are approximately last in rebounding around the league and he is well above everyone else but Ayton.

    I would guess you haven't watched Daniels defend much. Canaan isn't great but he does try, which Daniels doesn't. All he does is shoot 3's and he hasn't done that well this year - albeit in very short minutes. Last year he was last on the team in almost every statistical category except 3...

    Nothing to it! A mere one million investors at $1000 a pop should do it.

    another coaching problem

    As much as we will use the pick and roll, it would be smart to bring in some master of it, like s Nash or s Stockton, to work with our guys. Booker could learn most of it and he's going to be involved whether he's playing point or not. Heck, there are fine points to something as elementary...

    Suns @ Bucks 11-23-18

    I agree. I watch him a lot when he's playing and he makes the right play a lot more often than not. If he lacks smarts then he had very good instincts, which is better. He keeps his cool very well in those melees around the rim... he appears to watch the defenders feet in order to pick the...

    another coaching problem

    Booker does it now and then when he can get the guy on his hip but it never triggers a response by the whole team. I suppose the simplest ploy would be for someone to set a pick for him - on the side where the defender is, The idea being to help Booker get more separation. If the pick worked...

    Suns @ Bucks 11-23-18

    One thing that struck me in this game and in others: no one on the team seems to think they're responsible for stopping the ball at the FT line when the opponents are breaking. Just because it's an old maxim, doesn't mean it doesn't apply in this modern era. If you're in the vicinity, it's...

    Suns @ Bucks 11-23-18

    Good post, PH. I see it much the same way. I wish Igor didn't look so lost all the time, I doubt that he is but it doesn't instill confidence.
