    2016 NBA Draft thread

    I've been all over Austria, Switzerland and West Germany but other than that I've seen nothing of the world outside North America. But if I were given a choice of where to live I think I'd choose Singapore. I am in awe of that place.

    The future of the Phoenix Suns

    No it's not. Sometimes people just have different opinions. I don't consider myself a good evaluator and I'm even worse when it comes to judging college talent but it worries me that both players flaws are so obvious. Simmons strengths are still intriguing despite his on court weaknesses but...

    The future of the Phoenix Suns

    That's true in a year where it's a 2 player draft and strong at the top but not necessarily so in a year when the 2 best appear to be there by default.

    Grizzlies @ Suns 3-21-16

    I think replacing Tucker will help even more than the presence of Booker. Bledsoe had mostly stopped making that stupid jump in the air and look for a teammate move and only went back to it when the defense started closing down passing and penetrating lanes earlier than expected. If the...

    2016 NBA Draft thread

    I don't remember him saying anything about not wanting to split PG duties with Bledsoe, do you have a link? I know Jason Kidd tried and failed to convince him to move to the shooting guard spot but I'd hoped that was behind him now. He knew what his responsibilities were going to be and he...

    Grizzlies @ Suns 3-21-16

    I don't know that I said he'd spoil our tanking efforts, I'm pretty sure I just allowed for the possibility. I had said we probably wouldn't win more than 3 or 4 more games this season and my guess is I gave myself an out on this prediction if Knight returned and played well. He isn't fully...

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    I agree. But all I'd said was that I think Gobert has been the better player so far. It's anyone's guess who will have the better career but Giannis has up-side rarely seen. So I have no doubt that if they redrafted he'd be the target of most teams.

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    Gobert is a difference maker on the defensive end and he's averaging close to 10 points a game this season. He'll never be a scary offensive threat on his own but we heard similar comments about DeAndre Jordan. Usually I'd prefer a great offensive player over a great defensive player but it's a...

    2015-16 Around the NBA

    It never crossed my mind that it was sarcasm but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be apparent to most people.

    I read it but I don't see the best news ever. What did I miss?

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    I think Rudy Gobert has been the best player from that class. But I think Giannis has more potential than any player from that season and in a re-draft would be an easy decision as the first player taken.

    Tankathon Rankings

    I agree. He's probably been the hero of 4 games this season but he's been the primary contributor to many of our losses. Using him 40 minutes a night seems like a move taken straight from the tanking playbook.

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    He still isn't the best player from that class (yet) but I agree, he'd be the likely number one pick. His potential and his measurables are off the chart and he won't turn 22 until the start of next season.

    Should the Suns chase Harrison Barnes?

    I think they should chase him just like they did Lebron and Aldridge. As long as they don't catch him. Seriously, he'd be a nice player to have but even in this era of fast rising salaries, max is too much for him. I'd love to have him on a contract similar to the one that both Bledsoe and...

    Me too. But I don't think it's a big deal.

    Tankathon Rankings

    Warren broke his foot back in January and hasn't played since. And you can't understate the value of getting minutes for Len and Booker this way. I don't think we need to be playing Booker 40 minutes plus but I see nothing wrong with him getting 35 or so.

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    Of course not. But think it through. They want the pick as much as we do, you can bet that marching orders come down from management on both teams. You think it's reasonable for our coach to play less than his best players but you ignore the possibility that Scott might have similar...

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    I don't think we were ever really challenging for the 2nd spot. The Lakers stepped up their tank game when they realized we were serious about losing and they only added a few wins of their own after we picked up a win or two. I highly doubt we drop to 5th either although 4th is quite possible...

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    The veterans don't get paid to lose, they're supposed to play their hardest. Doing otherwise is a poor career choice.

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    You're right, Philly only has 8 wins since December 7th which is the worst in the league. I'm not sure how I got the wrong year for them but did it right for the 3 other teams but I double checked them and I think I'm good now. Thanks for the correction.

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    A little perspective please. Broken record time, we've had a grand total of 9 wins since December 7th. Only one other team has more losses and that's Philly. We even have more losses during that time than LA, Minnesota and Brooklyn. The only way for us to lose more is to violate every...

    2016 NBA Draft thread

    I had been impressed by what little I'd seen of Chriss before but I watched him play in the conference tournament and there was one play that really bothered me. I forget exactly how it went down but it was something like this. He was near the top of the key and passed it to a player cutting...

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    And if we'd subbed in another player and he hit the shot I'm pretty sure we'd have heard something about how it's "stupid to go with fresh legs instead of a tired old veteran". I mentioned it earlier, we've won a league worst 9 games since December 9th. We're tanking just fine. Granted...

    2016 NBA Draft thread

    Yeah I just wouldn't invest in Simmons, too many things not to like. And there's something really suspicious in the way his coach ended his LSU career. That was highly unusual, bowing out of all post season play. It's happened before but not like this and not with a school that isn't an NCAA...

    2016 NBA Draft thread

    I don't know who I want but I don't want Dunn (or Buddy). I'd trade back if necessary rather than take the players usually mentioned in the 3 - 7 range (unless McD is in love with Bender or someone like him). I wouldn't mind it if we picked Poeltl, Ellenson, Rabb, Skal, D Davis or any of...
