We finally agree on something lol. Ariza has to go though if parsons comes back

Well only one of the knee injuries was serious and his jumpshot might not look great but he's a good shooter

it didn't work well the first time
just let it go and sign for someone else
why every off-season there is talk to bring former players back

i think Morey lead the league in bringing former players back

Basketball players that have that type of surgery tend to fall off the map sooner rather than later. Plus he tore his meniscus, not sure if it was the same knee or not, but his knee is a ticking time bomb. Also don't know if he had surgery to repair it. Don't want to see a nonsuperstar player getting superstar money while not playing just not worth the risk.

Can anyone explain to me why Ryan Anderson is being discussed so much when Mirza Teletovic could probably do as much at a much lower cost?

Am I underestimating Anderson? Overestimating Teletovic?

No I agree with you completely. Anderson is going to cost why to much when all he really does is shoot. Much rather go after Teletovic but Anderson has a sexy name and of course a player that morey has gone after several times in the past.

Seriously don't want Ryan Anderson.
Just give me Dudley & Teletovic please. Maybe Evan Turner, great dribbler as well as one of the few people to get Harden to dial in on defense!

Bring in Turner.

Apparently at their meeting today, or yesterday, D'Antoni told Dmo that he wants Dmo to be his 'main power forward"

I heard that they assembled a sales package aimed at convincing Motie to stay. I don't recall ever hearing something like that for an RFA.

Morey must surely know the only "big" name player he could sign would be Dwight on the max

different situation
during that time the team got bright future with young new superstar Harden, Lin, and Parsons
we just went from making the conference final to 41-41 record first round exit
superstar want to look for the team they have the best chance to win
because of large salary cap now almost every team got salary cap to sign max contract
they just have more and better option now

There's really no point unless we get a max guy 2 high end role players or two max guys and need the room. What's the point of trading him and giving up an asset to dump him if you won't use the space anyways? Just don't play him

I'm in a discussion on the Suns board. People are saying that James harden is not the best SG in the NBA .

Someone said
Jimmy butler, Thompson, wade, reddick are all better!!!!
