2016-17 Around the NBA

I'd rather keep Dudley. Helps us reach the salary cap floor, he's still one of the league's best shooters and he's also an amazing locker room guy and teammate.

Plus Dudley might be the only player in all of NBA who genuinely likes Arizona and the city of Phoenix. He's not even from here and yet he loves it here. I remember him raving about Phoenix even when he was with the Bucks.

Dudley is also a player who won't bitch and whine about playing time even if he gets DNP'd.

Suns aren't gonna get anyone better with his salary. Sure if some superstar trade comes through then sure trade him. But until then, its not like he's taking up anyone else's minutes.

I kind of agree with this. If Dudley is content to play the role of mentor and ride the pine most nights, he's a relatively cheap date for a few years. Strange how things change though in that we're talking about 10 per being cheap for a marginal backup.

I would really like to keep Dudley and Chandler with the core being so young. Two really good locker room guys but if either guy says they want to go win then you do what you can to make it happen for them they've been good and deserve it.

Maybe I'm still suffering from sticker shock but paying a player $30 million to ride the bench is still a tough sell for me.

Also I'm jealous.

Blake Griffin ready to return from knee surgery in Philly tonight, I'm told. (Dec. 18 last game). Doc Rivers called it 'likely' last night.

Not Bledsoe? I thought he and James were buds.

Not Bledsoe? I thought he and James were buds.

My guess is that they think Bledsoe is worth much more than any of those other 3, and the Cavs aren't looking for a blockbuster.

That is a "buy low" list. What Cleveland would have to give up to get a player of Bledsoe's caliber I'm sure is stuff they don't have or are not willing to part with.

Wish they were interested in Knight. Shumpert would be a decent return (who we can then flip to another contender or keep).

That's going to be a bloodbath if everyone on the US team shows up.

As of now, it sounds as if the back-to-back Slam Dunk champ Zach LaVine will not pursue a three-peat.

Is this sarcasm? I was thinking the obvious. The US team has an advantage at the guard spots but the huge advantage at the front court goes to the world IMO. That's if everyone is playing, take Embiid out and the advantage probably flips.

Am I the only one that things that is silly?

No, the Cavaliers agree with you.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Certainly they do

The Cavaliers are into team ball so yes I think it is silly. Also Love is a better asset.

So, why is it that when the defender falls down it is treated like the greatest offensive accomplishment in the NBA? Often, its just that his legs got inadvertently tangled. Seldom was it that great of an offensive move really.

I assume Carmelo is selecting the teams.
