Do you have any thoughts about an NBA player that fits this description who might be available?

We need a Udonis Haslem. I'd say Bobby Portis or Steven Adams can fit that type.

I'd take Portis or Adams. I've always been a fan of Bobby Portis.

If we didn't get Grayson from Milwaukee, I'd wonder if they would swap Grayson for Portis. The Bucks need a SG who can shoot more than they need Portis off the bench since they have Brook and Giannis at C and PF. We also need a high energy PF/C to start more than we need Grayson off the bench. It could make sense for both teams. I believe a fair swap. Maybe 2nd round picks get included either way but it could help each team. Since Grayson was traded away though the odds of walking that back are much smaller than a typical trade.

I'd probably do the trade for Portis, but I haven't had a chance to examine the particulars of such a trade.

For whatever it's worth, something I noticed last year and in the few games I've seen this season, KD seems to be the most liked, most respected Suns player when they all go through their post game greetings. A lot of the time it seems like the post game rituals are just pro forma but the interactions with KD seem much more than that.

I didn't know if this has been posted, but Grayson Allen talks about the birth of his daughter, who was born Saturday.

I think if you’re own if his boys you dig him. He’s chill, can hoop, probably a generally likable dude. Does he get defensive on social media? Sure. So do 99% of everyone else.

Was going to share the AZRepublic article. Fairly certain most of us said that happened more than a week ago. Glad everyone is healthy now and spreads some light on why he missed a few games. Can't blame him for not going on some road trips when his wife was that close to delivery.

I’m offended by that assumption

If he only fired back at trolls online then I wouldn't see as much of an issue. It's how he seems to seek out criticism that bothers me. If the TNT crew says something about him, he jumps on Twitter right away. Same applies when professional trolls like Stephen A Smith, Skip Bayless, or Kendrick Perkins criticize his performances. He has a right to defend himself him but he can do that by balling out. MJ, Bird, Curry, and Lebron would silence critics on the court.

Durant has too much free time. He's a mid 30's guy worth half a billion dollars that is one of the best athletes of all time. He has a hobby that detracts from his athletic legacy because he seems to enjoy arguing online about his dedication.

Yes, I think everyone knew about the situation, but it's always easier to talk about it after the birth.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Allen on your new baby girl!

Durant has too much free time.

Yup, and he’d be better off using it to work on his dribbling, passing and rebounding.

Kendick Perkins sees the Suns as a dark horse to win it all.

Ryann Dunn's defense gives the Suns another dimension.
