When the Suns played the Cavaliers on October 30th, it seemed like Cedi Osman (who is probable) couldn't hardly miss.

He shot 7-15 from the field and 6-12 from three for 20 points.

Lamar Stevens who is out, had 2 points.

So that means he's playing?

So that means he's playing?

It means he could play. If he were listed as probable, it would be more likely.

Nader's status is described as right knee management. I believe this is the knee he had surgery on. Also I understand he has had soreness with the left knee in the past.

It was a joke. His play has been highly questionable so far so if he's questionable for the game, that means he must be playing, right? Okay, so it's not funny, it's still a joke.

There isn't a "its a joke man" smilie, but you could always use this one to let us all know that there is a joke involved.

Don't worry. I'm planning to have beef stew for lunch.

I was reading something that Frank might be out for the year we need a 3rd big behind DA and Javale if so. Time to make a move JJ

Suns' Kaminsky out indefinitely with knee injury

Suns big man Frank Kaminsky has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right knee and is out indefinitely.

Injuries are a concern with the Suns down Saric and Kaminsky. Also Nader having knee issues doesn't ease my mind.

The Suns may have to wait until buyouts to make a move. They don't have a lot of trade assets other than 2nd round picks. The Suns have already filled their two-way spots.

I've been away from this site for a few months and now the board is communicating in some strange code language.

All your communications are belong to us.

I guess it would be confusing, sorry about that. Despite all of Dr Spengler's warnings, we crossed the streams (conversation started in the Around the NBA thread).

If you are familiar with the altercation between Lebron and Stewart, you might start reading at post #1,122 (or earlier) to get an idea of what is going on. It's silly but fun stuff.

I think Ben Simmons is the wrong trade for the Kings. They would be better off going after Sabonis. There isn’t a great fit for Simmons. If you have a guy making max money you’d hope he’s not an end-of-game liability. No way I do that deal for the Kings.

One of the few that like Nader but is he taking min from Cam Johnson or Who?

I'm not sure Nader is taking minutes away from anyone with the Suns need for depth. Also he has missed time as well with a knee issue. I guess technically one could say Cam Johnson.

The season is a marathon and the Suns will need every player they have to get over the finish line especially with Kaminsky and Saric out. They also have an open roster spot. I suspect Jalen Smith will get his share of playing time as well.

Why do you suspect that with Smith? We’ve had injuries that’s taken away one big man almost all year and his ass has been mostly glued to the bench. I think it’s pretty clear the Suns don’t think he can contribute at this point.
