I'm surprised there's no thread on this but apparently PJ will be out for at least 6 weeks following surgery on his lower back. He had a micro-discectomy earlier today.
Isn't Warren still recovering? My bet is that the Suns will move Booker to 3 and start two two "point guards" alongside Booker.
Aldridge not coming here had nothing to do with our GM. Geez.If our GM wasn't such a hapless nimrod, this could be our team:
Tyson Chandler
Booker
Isaiah Thomas
Dragic
Lamarcus Aldridge
That's a contender right there.

So the starting line up would be two point guards with booker starting at 3 (which everyone here is thrilled about)?If our GM wasn't such a hapless nimrod, this could be our team:

We may still end up doing that with Bledsoe and Knight until December or January at least when Bledsoe gets injured again.So the starting line up would be two point guards with booker starting at 3 (which everyone here is thrilled about)?

P.J. Tucker said he tried shutting down in August to avoid back surgery but hopes to shorten rehab. He's dying to not play (talk) at camp.

P.J. Tucker can't be seen on the court but he can still be heard. "Play some f---ing defense! ... Get in his sh--!"
PJ's surgery/injury could be a blessing in disguise. Since he'll start the year on the bench and miss camp that should allow either Booker or Warren to play a bigger role. As quoted above it seems he's comfortable as a veteran voice from the bench, which is probably the most valuable role he could play for the Suns this season.
As someone who appreciates Tucker's game (He's my profile pic!) ... I just think it's time for the organization to move on from him. He's just not that good. And his "veteran leadership" isn't needed either w/ the other few vets around AND it's time for other guys (Knight, Bledsoe, Booker, Len) to become leaders anyway. If he comes back - Warren AND Dudley should be playing more as both are better players ... Bender/Chriss should get some time too. I'd like to see Tucker play a 15 minute role the 1st half of the year, and hopefully he'll be traded mid-year
Hey in a couple weeks, they may STILL be in the market, what with Beasley's legendary longevity...When the Bucks were reportedly looking to acquire a wing player after Khris Middleton went down this summer, I was hoping that the Suns would trade Tucker to them. Kidd should like a player like Tucker. The Bucks of course ended up trading for Beasley from the Rockets. Tucker's own injury may have happened around the same time too actually.
