Phoenix Suns asked New York Knicks for Frank Ntlikina and Willy Hernangomez in exchange for Eric Bledsoe, league sources told @BBallInsiders

the knicks shd do it, feels like a classic knicks move

boogie situation was insane 1 he was widely regarded as a cancer 2 they had better offers on the table but vivek thought hield was a young steph

that second part is true but i'm not sure bledsoe is viewed as a non-cancer?

ive never heard anything bad about him except that he hates hair salons which is imo his choice and shd be respected

cavs season off to a good start

J.R. Smith replacing Dwyane Wade as Cavaliers’ starting shooting guard https://t.co/X3WsJfFwtG

too many cooked players

classic formulation

tristan thompson has gone from dominating the glass in the nba finals to a non entity in 15 months

Tristan needs to be traded. Maybe GM Lebron could swing a deal for Tyson Chandler.

Steph out rebounded him and zapped his psyche.

the mojo killer

starting to think lebron might not be a great gm

re: tristan, hate to say it but kardashian influence can't be good

its true that the track record of interactions between kardashians and nba players has not been good for the players

its still crazy no one made a serious run at him hes out here putting up 45-15 on the reg

i think the jury is still out as to whether he's...good

he def has some flaws but overall he seems clearly good to me

boogie is good enough to be the secondary star on a 2-star contender imo. he's not an mvp level player but he's good.

matt moore on some bledsoe options
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/10-eric-bledsoe-trade-ideas-that-the-suns-front-office-should-consider-now/

none of those make sense for both sides except nuggets really

So apparently Watson and McDonough never saw eye to eye. I guess after the clipper loss he went on on again about how life is bigger than basketball blah blah. Then he started pitting management and the team against each other. He lost the respect of the vets and players just tuned him out.

i have no idea why the suns would want faried

ben simmons seems pretty good

i saw this somewhere and it's a good point--another issue with the bledsoe thing as far as trade value is that like 100+ players can't be traded right now.

what is going on with jokic

?

De’Aaron Fox should be starting

i have no idea why the suns would want faried

Fox is just so cool, must see tv

I love the kings...

The re-tooled Mudiay jumper does look good

dejounte murray is averaging 13.3 and 10 reb. he had 15 reb tonight, and he's a stud on defense

The extremely painful nuggets loss I’ve come to know so well is coming up

small sample size caveats notwithstanding, i kiiiiinda dont want tony parker to come back until playoffs

Jokic is back

Michael Malone just put Kenneth Faried in for defensive purposes and he watched things happen defensively

yeah that was not ideal

Really bad choice

if you like v. ragged basketball there is plenty of time left to enjoy this kings/suns game

I understand the logic of adding randolph and hill to be mentors but it doesn’t work so well if fox and labissiere are already better basketball players

that's sort of a nonsense point 3 games in but if we're just talking tonight i haven't seen much that suggests skal knows what he's doing

fox looks good but you'll pardon me if i hold my expectations for rookie guards after three games

Josh Jackson vs Fox was fun for a minute there

Whenever really old guys (zbo) switch teams I’m tempted to believe they’re washed

i think managerial/roster/contract factors have more to do w/it than the player's actual talent level at that time

Zbo been pretty washed for a bit now

Is this bogdonovic Bro supposed to be good?

guys "washed" isn't a useful description, like what do you expect from a 36 y.o. forward? his shooting dropped off a little bit last year but he still has value in a limited role
