[Yuma]

Thank you @Mainstreet for all those updates!!!

This wouldn't have been a bad signing on the cheap for the Suns.

I like Utah a lot. They may be second to the Lakers. Their shooting and size is incredible. They have to stay healthy though.

I like utah too. Conley seems relieved he doesnt have to be the number one anymore. They have a lot of depth and are more built for a slower pace imo.

How funny! I just saw a Linsanity spoof skit on Saturday Night Live!! I had not thought about him until SNL in years!!

Jazz are built for playoff basketball but as the Suns saw, they can really get out in transition. I don't know what more they could have done to improve their team. With a healthy Bogdanovic, keeping Clarkson and adding Favors they will be tough.

Lin is nice insurance for the Jazz. I wouldn't mind seeing the Suns add another point guard on their 15 man roster or on a two-way contract.

The Suns might be content to keep Motley on their 15 man roster. He has played well for them.

I underestimated the Nets, they’re going to be a force.
Celtics are regressing. I’m not sure what it is as I don’t watch them enough. Maybe Tatum is deferring too much.

Curry is not going to carry Golden State. Pelicans and grizzlies have a better chance.

Precious Achiuwa had 13 points and 15 rebounds against the Raptors last night. He is exactly what the Heat need not to mention 2019 second round pick KZ Okpala looking good. They must have the best scouts around.

LaMelo looks the part so far.

 

[Proximo]

Motley has been waived, this should mean another big will take his place.

I’m kind of hoping it’s not frank, however he is probably better than motley, but we need someone that can play D.

I would be happy with giving JJ Barea a chance too.

Feel badly for Moxley, but I called this after the game. He’s not an nba player.

Kaminsky would be a good guess but I'd prefer Barea.

Dedmon or Ilyasova.

 

[Mainstreet]

Warriors unable to sign Jeremy Lin.

Dedmon or Ilyasova.

Dedmon would be solid and the Suns were reportedly interested in him before he went to Kings.

No problem with Ilyasova either.

 

[Hoop Head]

I liked what I saw from him more than Damian Jones. Neither should be primary backups but I think Motley had a higher ceiling, albeit low, and showed more offensively than Jones. Oh well. Hopefully they can replace him with someone worthy of being in an NBA rotation like Holmes and Baynes were the last 2 years.

I watched the first 3 preseason games but missed the finale so if Motley looked awful there I missed it.

I'm not sure what Grayson Allen did to make Trae Young mad. Trae ended up pushing Grayson Allen on a drive to the basket. Allen sold the push but I don't know.
