    NBA Free Agency: Realistic options for the Suns

    It will be interesting to see if the Suns can even get meetings with those players. Reportedly, Aldridge will meet with the Raptors, among others. If the Suns can't even get him to visit, if will not speak well of their chances of signing a top tier free agent in the near future.

    Suns select Devin Booker at #13

    This draft seemed to me eerily similar to the 2012 draft when the Suns, also drafting 13th, missed out on all the wings they coveted and settled for another PG. This time the draft was front-court heavy, the Suns wanted a big, but once again they were all taken off the board before the Suns...

    NBA Free Agency: Realistic options for the Suns

    Aldridge. I see no point in picking up more role players if the Suns don't have any sort of solid foundation to build around yet. So unless there are some young free agents with star potential out there who are available (there aren't) then might as well not bother with the lesser names...

    No worries, the Suns will never get to wear theirs.

    Exit interviews for Suns after 2014-15 season

    I think that's what some of the players were implying themselves during their exit interviews, not Hornacek. Hornacek just summarized what was being said by the players, that not everyone was on the same page. Which is what you'd expect on a young team without veteran leadership, where players...

    Suns Thudnurr 3/29/15

    It's sad that even when the Suns were up by 20, I expected them to lose. The last two games the Suns were defeated by two of the best players in the league, two franchise players who carry and propel their teams onwards. Until the Suns acquire one of those, they really can't expect to compete...

    The Jinx (HBO documentary miniseries)

    Anybody watched this documentary series? What an ending.

    Suns at Rockets 3-21-15

    For those that like those plus/minus numbers, Tucker was +27 in this game. Not so coincidentally, Harden was -27.

    The Keepers

    With Markieff, my biggest problems are inconsistency and attitude. And the fact that he takes up two roster spots. With Bledsoe, I have not given up by no means, but right now I am still unconvinced that he can be a perennial all-star level player, which is what the Suns need him to be. With...

    The Keepers

    Which of the current Suns players do you actually wish the Suns hang onto long-term? Who do you want to still see in a Suns uniform 3-5 years down the road? If you don't care that much if a particular player is kept or not, then don't choose him. Pick as many, or as few, as you like. If...

    Game 59 Thunder @ Suns 2/26/15

    For a night, the Suns "two best players" actually looked the part. Now keep it up.

    New Roster

    Suns need a big, and they also need to add another player to roster to meet league-mandated 13 minimum. This is assuming that Granger does not report. Barron seems like a likely choice unless someone better becomes available.

    New Roster

    But it's Brandan Wright, not Brandon Wright, so, that will likely clear things up.

    Suns Trade Half the team.

    I never thought I would have to ask this, but who exactly is still on the roster? It seems the Suns have traded three of their point guards for.. umm... another point guard. The pick situation is not too encouraging. The Suns traded away a lottery pick for a few mid-to-late first rounders...

    Suns at Kings 2-8-15

    This again? Ugh.

    Guess the Suns record over the next 8 games

    And so they end up 3-5, losing every game they were expected to lose, and winning the three that appeared the easiest. Disappointing but predictable outcome.

    Guess the Suns record over the next 8 games

    Five games into this stretch, and the Suns are 3-2. I predicted they would go 3-5, with the three wins coming in the (seemingly most winnable) games against Portland, Washington and Chicago, and thus far the Suns have been right on the mark. That would also imply they will lose the next three...

    Is Jeff Hornacek the right choice for the Suns?

    FWIW, Coro had Hornacek's quote on pick-and-rolls in late-game situations: http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nba/suns/2015/01/16/suns-notes-reggie-bullock-finds-good-fit-phoenix/21899115/

    All-Stars

    The Suns distribute their scoring production among five players averaging over 13 ppg, but all under 17 ppg. Assists and rebounds are also a team effort, with no single player averaging more than 6 in either category. It's generally difficult to make the All-Star team if your individual...

    Trade talks & rumors

    I like the move. It certainly didn't cost the Suns anything, as Randolph wasn't going to get off the bench with Wright here. But, there is such a thing as too many prospects on a single NBA roster. For players like Bullock, Ennis, Warren or Goodwin, all recent mid to late-first round picks...

    Phoenix Suns @ OKC Thunder 12-31-14

    It was an obvious foul, but it didn't affect the shot, and the refs didn't feel like letting the Suns settle the game with three free throws. Sadly, I think if the tables were turned and it was Durant shooting the three down by two, OKC wins the game at the free throw line.
