Forgot about them. Hhmm seriously doubt Paul leaves Clippers and if he does definitely not for Phoenix. Bynum I could see leaving(slim chance though) and it would be a little funny if he came here. But again....doubtful is the word of the day.

You guys dont need Blatche when you just got Scola.

Randolph would've been a solid signing though.

[Dissonance]

I have no delusions about next yr. I'd be surprised if we landed any big fish in FA.



Dragic will wear #1, and be introduced his return tomorrow. Beasley should be official soon. We also have to wait til EG passes his physical for cap space to be released back I think for that and our next move.

[Dissonance]

Damn. Lee signed and traded to Boston.


Hope they have something up your sleeve. No to Brown at all or Redd unless it's backup.

[l0st1]

Damn you Boston. Only thing I can think of is they are looking for a 1 year rental so they can go hard after Harden next summer?

[Wade County]

Suns need to find a 2 guard pretty quick. Majority of the reasonable ones have gone.

[l0st1]

The only even remotely decent one that's available that I can think of is Jodie Meeks. Here's hoping we can steal Harden.

[Dissonance]

OKC will match on Harden next yr. They had their chance to deal him before the draft for #2 or #3. They should have too to keep their cap and flexibility in better shape.

[l0st1]

Even if we max him? I find it hard to believe they will match with westbrook and durant maxed and ibaka needing to be resigned as well.

Terrence Williams!

[Hyperion]

No, here's to the number one pick! It's what you guys wanted right? Here it comes!

I'm down with that.

[l0st1]

Ya, I'll take it. If we can finish 4-8 worst we have a solid shot. Seems like they are the ones that always move up. But I'm UP for a DOWN year.

"The Suns and the Lakers have competed in the same division and conference for a long time," Sarver said. "But I think we're at different stages right now in terms of the two teams. At the end of the day, this just gave us the best option for assets, too, and from a basketball standpoint, if you kind of take the emotion out, it was the best thing for the Suns, for the franchise. I think we've shown in the last couple of years that drafting is one of our strengths, so it kind of played into our strengths. It's one of the things we definitely have to use to move our franchise forward, especially with the new rules with the new CBA." NBA.com

Really? How have we shown the ability to draft well the last few years?

Robin Lopez and Earl Clark were fantastic for us.

While basically everyone else was fantastic for other teams.
