Phoe has so many young guys with potential to root for. Its gonna be fun watching them and Minny try to work there way up to Utah and Portlands level. If Bender or Chriss live up to the hype, along with Len, Warrren and Booker...Watch out

And god help them if they get another stud next year in the lotto.

It will be interesting to see if watson is the man for the job

Good Luck and enjoy the ride

You think they have a chance to compete with other young teams like Minny, Utah and Portland within a few years? Or the Pelicans?

Hey everybody..sort of a lurker, sort of not, I suppose. I don't post as much as I would like to.. I'm a lifelong Suns fan and went to many, many games at VMC as a kid. The stories I could tell...I still have a ton of autographs secured in those days by going down to the floor during the shoot a round and bugging guys. I'm still bitter about one interaction with Moses Malone who went on to drop 52 on the Suns that day.

Expectations for this year: Entertainment. I expect to enjoy watching the team again. I'm hopeful they will just go out, play hard, and learn the game some more. I'd like to see the young guys get their minutes. I don't expect playoffs or even 35 wins, but if they are out their developing their game and learning to play as a Suns team, then I will be happy.

Well lets hear some stories!

Well all those teams have dominant Bigs except Port, now the Pels have a Cousins too.

I liken Phoe to the Utah or Portland team. If Lens can be consistent.

Yes, they will play with traditional bigs, and I think in our future we may go with more small ball, maybe with a 3-4-5 of Warren/Chriss/Bender...throw a guy like Josh Jackson in there, it's versatile. Chriss and Bender can both block shots and hit the 3, while Bender defends the perimeter well, and Chriss is a great finisher and the better rebounder.

Time will tell.

With PJ gone, you need a perimeter defender. Jackson makes a lot of sense.

Ball or Fultz would be scary offensively but defensively poor

I've been on this forum a long time and found this place tracking Channing Frye on the Knicks....so that tells you I went to the UofA.

Not sure what it takes to register here now but it use to require certain types of email address but it open up for a brief moment and I got in using a yahoo account. I think my first post on this site was on the NFL board when it was just some sub-forum. It might have been playing poker at wild horse pass with some cardinal player trying to make the team.

I enjoy basketball and growing up in Tucson I was a college basketball fan first and NBA second. I used to follow the Suns pretty closely but Robert Sarver caused me to "protest". I would watch the Suns here and there but was watching other NBA mores. It's odd now but I am not sure I would be happy with Jerry Coangelos. Seeing other poorly run teams, I've ignored Sarver recently more. The Deng trade for cash still bothers me.

Welcome.

I've always had a yahoo account attached to this.

The Deng trade REALLY bothered me too (though I guess trade of that pick as I would have taken Iguodala but rumors were the Suns thought neither would be available). But extend JJ and draft Iggy instead of signing Q, and you have a long term core with those guys.

Obviously I'm a big Cats fan as well. I now also mod the NFL board, so post there at any time. It got a lot more active this year.
