2015-16 Around the NBA

[Ronin]

I think Kenny and Charles hit the nail on the head about Lebron and Dwayne Wade working out together.

Cool. Saves even more money. If they claim him, the Suns don't have to pay him.

Man, Giannis Antetekounmpo is really coming through strong. May be the best player from his draft and looks like a future superstar.

I read it but I don't see the best news ever. What did I miss?

It was sarcasm about the Spurs going after Kevin Durant. Sorry, thought that was apparent...

It never crossed my mind that it was sarcasm but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be apparent to most people.

Kyrie Irving anyone? It appears there is some frustration with his play when the Cavaliers sit Lebron.

During one possession in the second quarter, Irving dribbled for 24 seconds and went nowhere before settling for a tough mid-range jumper.

Irving and Kevin Love combined for 176 touches but just two assists.

No thanks. The only point guard more overrated than Bledsoe and/or Knight is Irving.
I don't want the Suns to touch him with a ten-foot pole.

I'm not interested in Irving either. I only threw this information out there because he has been mentioned in discussion for whatever reason.

 

[slinslin]

Bledsoe is far from overrated

In the other thread, you said, "Booker is not a better Point Guard than Bledsoe."

I respect your opinions, but you are not posting anything to back it up.

The NBA free agency moratorium has been shortened by five days. It will last from 7-1-16 until 7-6-16.

Yea. More results quicker.

That is a hoot.

There is absolutely nothing to say Booker is a better PG than Bledsoe. Less efficient, worse turnover ratio and I'd much rather Booker learn to play without the ball in his hands anyway.

Obvious things don't need to be backed up.

Besides your hate for Bledsoe what evidence do YOU have to back up your claim? Yeah, thought so.

I practice the old saying, "Attack problems, not people." I don't "hate" Bledsoe. So please don't misjudge my intentions.

It bothers me to see him as our Point Guard because he is too small to be anything else. Just as with our co-Point Guard, Knight, which compounds the problem.

Evidence? I did mention Bledsoe's habit of deciding where his pass is going when he is up in the air. And he, as Knight. doesn't have the skill to throw an accurate alley oop pass. In my opinion, he is not a smooth NBA calibre Point Guard. As long as he is considered our lead Point Guard, the Suns will continue to be mediocre.

Not that I condone any of Young's actions but yikes..."snitch" is a label that's hard to get off. Not looking good for Russel at all.

I can't imagine FAs flocking to come play where a guy like this is the "face of the franchise"...good news if your Philly, if they don't get that pick this season, they will still have a good shot at getting a pretty good pick next season.

 

[slinslin]

He always seemed to have maturity issues. I cringe that Booker is apparently so close with him.

D'Angelo "Rat" Russell. That nickname should stick.

I don't condone Young's actions either, but you have to respect your teammate's privacy. Its an incredibly immature, even childish thing to do. But that is what you get when you put children in a man's league.

Booker seems to have significantly more maturity than that.

Yea I can understand what Scott meant by talking about Russel's "immaturity" all season long.

Still, he's 20 years old and he's in a professional league. Youth can't be an excuse.

Every player in the league has more maturity (err common sense) than that.
