Man that dude just fell off the nba map. Remember when everyone here was gnashing their teeth about taking reed over him?

Jordan Bell might still be a good addition for a team.

If the Suns weren't looking at McRae, Bell would be a worthy option.

 

[swagron]

Man, I hope they sign him. That dude is absolutely terrible.

Exactly how does this help the Suns?

The Lakers losing makes the Suns smile and be happy.

 

[Phrazbit]

Exactly how does this help the Suns?

...?

Because: Screw the Lakers.

Shake, Shai, and Shamet. Those were the three guards I really liked in that draft.

Weak...

 

[Phrazbit]

Weak...

Huh? Are you a Laker fan or something?

I repeat, screw the Lakers. I hope they sign JR Smith and he gives them what they would deserve... an effort worthy of a reckless, drunken moron, who dribbles the wrong direction in the closing seconds of historic games.

 

[Chaplin]

Weak...

It is morally impossible to be a fan of the Suns AND the Lakers. But hey, you do you.

The problem is, the Lakers have always been our rival but the same is not true the other way around. So, most Lakers fans can't understand the hate.

Reportedly Dion Waiters had an impressive workout with the Lakers.

Kobe considered the Suns a rival, if that matters. I can definitely see the case for his generation of Lakers having a rivalry with the Suns but it hasn't been a consistent long standing rivalry because of the lopsidedness, IMO.

I taught my children to never be ashamed of who they are, unless they are Laker fans.

This might all be cool if fist-bumps were used.

What does that say about their trust in Hammond? She's been coaching a lot longer.

Saw it on Twitter and of course I can't find it now that I'm trying to link it but apparently Tim was assigned Charlotte as one of the teams he's in charge of scouting. Pop splits up the league for his assistants to focus on a few each. That's why Tim gets the nod here instead of Hammond. If Charlotte were a team on her list then she'd be the one coaching but the Spurs way is to give the control to the assistant who is in charge of scouting that team. It makes sense from that perspective.

Thanks for the perspective.
