A little confidence can go a long way! Hopefully these guys can start playing loose and fun where they excel. Allen seems to have found his shot again which is great, Book as well, once we get Royce back we at be cooking with Beal off the bench. Our biggest area of need is a BIG that actually has a defensive presence so we can stop collapsing and leaving open threes!

Speaking of the Waffle House, what's the word on Nurkic?

Trying to work on a trade. Be on the look out for us to make some moves before the deadline. I been trying to get the best I can for Beal and Nurkic.

The higher brass wants to bring in Torrey Craig but I been fight them against it.

Yes, keep working on Beal, Nurkic and some minor trades but don't let James Jones near Torrey Craig.

If we trade Beal, that would be a miracle! You would have to have compromising pictures on the GM or owner of the team we trade with to get that done!

If the Suns could strengthen their front court, suddenly Booker, Beal and Durant doesn't look so bad.

You and Germz249 can work on the picture angle, though.

Heck, the plus/minus metric with Dunn on the court versus Beal was reason enough to move Beal to the bench. I think they are going with Plumlee for his veteran experience and more strength versus Oso, but Oso has had some good plus/minus numbers when he was in there. I really think Oso needs an off season work out bump with our training staff to get into NBA strength for big man capacity in the NBA. Can't change his height, but he could get stronger and better technique for boxing out for rebound in the off season.
