Well...he can confirm with a well trusted source......but....no guarantees. ;)

Geez the jealousy is so strong. He can confirm that they are doing their best to keep Bridges.

The no guarantees is built into the first statement. It doesn't conflict at all.

And again it is absolute nonsense that two East Coast guys are blowing the doors off of anyone when it comes to Suns reporting (Gambo and Flex).

Flex was on Doug and Wolf today as an announced guest today for pete's sake

He’s doesn’t have Tayshaun’s length. 6’9 with really long arms also.

But it’s a better comp than Pippen. That’s laughable.
Pippen was way too good on offense for the comparison. Though I do think Mikal could be close defensively, but he needs to get stronger to get there.

I can’t deal with Flex’s exclamation points. It’s like texting with an over-eager salesperson.

I think some fans relate to Flex because he gets excited about what he is writing. It's contagious.

Sometimes I read him just to get a morale boost plus he gets some things right. I do think he has a source although no one gets it right all the time. Also, there is usually some good logic involved.

It’s all speculation

My point was the reporting is so poor that the flagship station is bringing on a dude from NJ as their special Suns insider.

That's nuts. No one in Phoenix knows anything????

I am worried BKY will shock everyone and take AD & Westbrook for Durant & Irving. The Lakers always seem to pull rabbits out of hats when it comes to securing star players.

I thought Flex lived in Phoenix and was just from Jersey? Could be wrong. I know he's attended a lot of Suns games the last 2 seasons in Phoenix.

No idea. His twitter location says Bloomfied, NJ

That would be like repeating the same type of mistake all over again.

there's just no way we're getting Durant and getting rid of Sarver in one off-season. we all know that's too good to be true.

If Sarver comes out okay with the NBA investigation, he keeps spending and the Suns get Durant, maybe there is a learning curve.

BRK would be gambling on AD staying healthy but he would give them the star they are looking for in return for KD. Westbrook and Simmons along with a health AD would be one hell of a defensive team.

If they want to throw some stars together and hope for the best, that's on them. It didn't work the last time around for the Nets.

Jalen Rose pointed out last time this happened was 3 years ago to the day and nothing happened until July 5th. I have a feeling everyone punts this weekend.

@Folster

Twitter used to give alerts when there was a new tweet. I miss that.

Last one I remember is LeMarcus Aldridge and it was announced on the 4th.
