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

Bogdan looks good to me yeah

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

chris webber's first full year as a sixer was fine and in line with his previous two years (one of which contained a major injury (unlike z-bo)), so that's some impressive foresight or something

Unusual scenes at the end of this suns game

Garret temple can’t miss

Because he’s better than all of their big men

yeah but they're gonna be the worst team in the conference regardless plus bender/chriss need to play, and josh jackson should prob be getting minutes at the 4 too

i'm more of a mudiay fan than most & i think they could do worse than getting him but faried would basically just be in there for salary matching and would impede the development of multiple lottery picks

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

his athleticism is off the charts for a PG imo, if he's already capable of scoring like this he could be borderline unstoppable once he gets more experience

I’ve pretty much written off bender and Chriss tbh

also fox is averaging 5 boards per game and has 4 steals in 4 games. hard not to be really excited about him.

chriss was way overdrafted... i was a bender fan. regardless the suns would gain nothing from obtaining and playing kenneth faried is all i'm saying... i don't think they'd even be able to flip him for much

also kinda think phoenix and mudiay would be a terrible fit... he would not get better as a player there

how about bledsoe and an unprotected first for markelle fultz and salary filler

suns have two extra firsts from miami in the dragic trade...

the suns in a classic psyched abt coach getting fired game give up only 115 points
