Rodney White

[Biclops]

I would like to see the Suns pursue Rodney White if the offer for Q is matched

He is an unrestricted free agent so our capspace wont be tied to him for 15 days and I think we can bring him in for a reasonable amount of money

He is 6-9 and weights 230 lbs so he can probably play 3 positions for us (SG, SF, PF) and boost our bench strength

Last season he averaged....

PPG 7.5
RPG 2.3
APG 0.8
FG% .459
3PT% .379

in 13.7 minutes!!

I know he can score but I read somewhere that he is a bit lazy and his defense is really bad... can anyone confirm this?

He might not be in the same caliber as Q but I think he will definately help out the Suns

its not THAT bad but its kinda bad. he can shoot pretty well, but he cant dribble worth a damn. hes turnover prone but instant offense. D is average at best...poor lateral movement. i dont think hes lazy - not sure where that came from. overall a decent player.

 

[NJYAJ09]

Nahhh... he was on the nuggets, right?

 

[sunsfn]

He can be a decent player, but there is probably no room on the suns for him.

He plays the two forward positions, I do not think he can play 2 guard.

With Zarko, Vroman, Lampe off the bench and big minutes to Marion & Amare, there is probably no time for him. CJ will also play some sf.

 

[F-Dog]

Ooh, just what the Suns need--a one-dimensional scorer to be their third- or fourth-string SF.

I'd rather have Mengke Bateer.

No way. I want guys whose names I can pronounce.

Trade for Jamaal Magloire

Look, if you can learn Cabarkapa and Vujanic...

 

[George O'Brien]

Look, if you can learn Cabarkapa and Vujanic...

Oh, you think I can actually pronounced these names.

Good grief, I had to look up Vujanic for a month after the Suns got his rights.

BTW, speaking of Vujanic, the only issue on signing him was the price of his buyout. If the Q does not come over, it is not completely out of the question that he might still end up on the Suns this year.

considering what it would cost to get mags you wouldnt even want him.
