    Kings @ Suns 1-8-18

    Just wanted to mention stats.nba.com for those that don't know about it. It is clean and has a ton of data and filters. You can see which 3-man lineups had the best net rating over the past 8 games, for example. This is a link to the Suns on/off-court ratings for the season...

    Trade down scenarios with the #1 pick

    I like the idea of trading down to 2-4, but I can’t think of any scenarios where that would make sense for the other team. I like Ayton, but I like Doncic, Bamba, and JJJ just a hair more, so of course I’d be fine with trading down to pick up an extra pick or a useful veteran. I love the idea of...

    The Suns with the 2018 #1 overall pick select....

    It's a good move to get a close look at these guys even if they think they are set with #1. But having all these players in to work out allows McDonough to trade down a couple picks to copy the Celtics/Tatum model and have some justification for "getting the guy we wanted all along."

    D'Backs draft IF Matt McLain Beckman HS Irvine Ca in First Round

    The Athletic had McLain going to Boston at #26. They had Ethan Hankins (high school pitcher) going to the Dbacks at #25; he actually went #35 to Cleveland...

    2018 EuroLeague Final Four

    @francosy How do you compare Doncic's current game to Bogdan Bogdanovic's current game? I know Bogdan is a bit smaller and a few years older, but their styles seem somewhat similar to me, although Doncic has the ball in his hands more. I guess I really just want to know what Bogdan can do better...

    The Suns with the 2018 #1 overall pick select....

    It is surprising to me that so many think that selecting Ayton is a no-brainer. His offensive game seems to be on track to be elite, but when I look to the Suns being in the playoffs at some point, I can see defenders like Davis, Capela, and Draymond (and whoever the next generation of mobile...

    2018 EuroLeague Final Four

    I believe it's also on NBA TV (http://www.nba.com/nbatv/schedule), but my cable guide shows something else at that time.

    Igor Kokoskov will be Suns new head coach

    This reminded me of a Bill Simmons podcast where he was joined by Daryl Morey of the Rockets (recorded last offseason, I believe). I've been thinking for years that Sarver should stay away and let his management team handle things, but Morey says that it's crucial for the owner to be involved...

    Coyotes 2017-18 season thread

    I watched the 3rd period tonight, but I don't know watch enough to know why these guys are respectable now. I got the sense that they were unlucky earlier in the year and maybe now it's just normalizing. They are fun to watch when they aren't leaking goals at critical moments.

    Pick Watch 2018

    I had to run Tankathon seven times today before the Suns landed at something other than #4.

    Who will be the Suns new Head Coach?

    I really hope that in two years or so we all look back at this Triano year as being critical in the development of these players. I can't remember if it was McDonough or Triano that basically said right after Watson was fired that the players needed to be re-trained to play professional...

    Clippers @ Suns game thread 3-28-18

    We definitely need to see what a new coach can do with these players. I feel like if either of these guys were on a team with established players and established culture, they would be contributors, and I would be wishing they were on the Suns. I wouldn't be too bummed to see either of them go...

    Suns trade for Elfrid Payton

    I have hope in Knight--he is the veteran PG we're looking for. He was terrible last year, but he's a real NBA player, unlike many of the guys have shown this year. If his job is secure as the starting PG, I think that would do wonders for his confidence and performance. I think a healthy Ulis is...

    Summer trades?

    Kawhi would worry me. He seems disgruntled with the Spurs, the most stable franchise in the NBA, so I can't imagine what would happen if the Suns, who have been in disarray since 2010, were to give up assets for him. As for trades, I like the idea of packaging Warren with the mid-first picks...
