Read on a Celtics board that Ainge will come to Phoenix to watch Green , Brewer, Noah and Wright.

Not sure what conclusions you could draw from that?

One theory maybe the Suns trade up to #4 ,so they don't care what Danny sees in one of those players and takes them before the Suns can.

Ainge just loves to hang out with other GMs, doesn't he?


My guess is, the Suns set up this workout in the first place as a favor for Danny, since none of those guys was that interested in playing for Boston. In return, Ainge has already promised to accept Marcus Banks' contract (along with the #24 and #29 picks, of course). :shrug:

Maybe he just couldn't find any good Mexican food in Boston and needed an excuse for a day trip to Los Dos Molinos.

No surprise they didn't want to go back and give Ainge a second look, then.

Yeah I actually saw video footage of brewer noah and wright in boston with post interviews.(not sure about green)

Noah even played some pool after the workout in the locker room!

If ainge is actually coming to phoenix I wonder what his real motive is...


Maybe ainge is coming out of retirement and wants to show the suns what he can do against these rookie scrubs?

Ainge wants to talk to Marion!

You all know he actually lives here, so he is probably staying home that day. :)

I hope he's coming to schmooze Marion. I think it would be fascinating to see Marion with Pierce because of all the old trade ideas here and debate on whether Marion or Pierce was "better."

Last week Marion opened a youth recreation center here in partnership with Toyota. A bunch of kids playing basketball and meeting Marion. Generations of Suns fans made right there. They did a 10 second spot on it on the news and then that was the last you heard of it.

Unfortunately pro-athletes doing good things in the community never make the news.
