I believe Triano helped and Len is hungrier in a contract year. I wouldn't throw the farm at him though but he earned our interest now. Let's see how this unfolds this season and beyond.
Well I will concede many of you (JC & MS) were throwing around "big men take longer to develop". But not sure if that warranted giving long term contracts based on faith. Len should have showed his stuff last year... dopus.
Well he does seem the defacto choice now. Especially if our draft goes down the toilet. But do we want to be in a bidding war over Len? I'm afraid of buyers remorse with this dude.
The whole league rejected Len this last offseason. They get paid millions of dollars to evaluate talent and no one offered him a long term contract. Even now the suns don't have total faith in Len that's why they play Chandler up the wazoo.
Hey we all want the suns to play good but...these miracles are killing our draft!
I think our schedule is bound to toughen up. Plus our competition is winning which is keeping things in reach.
Dallas and Chicago won tonight which helped.
Is it me or does it seem the suns have played a lot of the easier teams in the league? We haven't played GS yet for instance.
Yeah I've been following Miami closely and it's been bugging me too. Couldn't believe they beat Boston either... cripe. We might need that pick to trade up...maybe.
The suns are still in the hunt and there is a long season left. Should be interesting down the stretch. At least Chicago and Dallas aren't running away with it like it looked early on.
That was actually well said. The suns have a right to be happy especially after losing nine straight recently. Even in their losses they are competitive. For being short handed you'd never know it.
Awesome win?
Umm...I don't know if a win against the Mavs could be described as awesome. However, the suns did look impressive at times...on both sides of the ball even.
The Mavs are just terrible though...YUCK!
This whole board talks about tanks and draft constantly. But as others have stated the suns aren't good right now so tank shouldn't be mentioned really. Its a non issue at the moment.
Every season is unique. Just because something happened last season doesn't make it some standard. When it's an important draft like this and we have aged vets on our team I didn't see the point in having them hang around.
