It is ridiculous. I want Dudley and Chandler out of the team so badly. Out of shape and always with **** injuries.
What a waste of money and roster spots.
$23m combined this year
Strange omission of Knight. Up that to like $37 million.

You can't compare the two. Chandler is older now, came in out of hs. You knew he'd be running on fumes by now. But is still solid most the time n always ready to play if healthy.
Dudley, he's just ate himself to the injured list. Completely unprofessional n a fat pig on top of that.

I almost feel like we wouldn't even have traded for Payton if Knight was healthy and playing this year lol

I see your Brandon Knight and I’ll raise you Alan Williams.
Up that to $43 million.

He's not guaranteed next year and is probably worth his money based on what I've seen.

But what if Aytons ceiling is AD?
Small chance of AD or 100% chance of AD?
Yeah what if his ceiling ends up being Hasheem Thabeet or something?
Always the real thing over potential if given the choice.

I think lilfishi was just talking about this year in his post you responded to so in that case Alan Williams applies here.
Crazy when you think about it, we have $43 million being completely wasted this season.

If I was on the Suns, I would've organized the team to sarcastically clap at the refs after the game. I'm sure Sarver would pay whatever the fine was.

Might be the greatest individual game against us I've seen in recent memory.
53 points, 18 rebounds, 5 blocks, 3 assists - fouled out all 3 of his opponents - team came back to win from 17 down.
And he played 43 minutes and 41 minutes in 2 of the 3 days prior.

Bender had 7 assists in 25 minutes, didn't notice that.

Davis got that tech in the first half and then the refs gave him everything ever. He's really good, but guarantee he wouldn't get half those calls in a suns jersey. Not all that impressed with the points when most od them are from ticky tack or nonexistent fouls. And he got like 10 points when the Suns had a SF playing center because of all those ridic fouls. It's like the refs forgot which team was which early on when the suns were getting calls, then got a call from HQ reminding them.

I know the refs influence the outcome of games that don't involve the Suns also, but it seems to happen way too often against the Suns. If I was a player I'd be completely disheartened, especially Booker. Imagine Booker if he got Harden/AD type reffing.

I'm fine with it the only problem with superstar treatment is not having one.

That's because you/we're biased and we watch more Suns game than any other single team out there.grumpysaddle wrote:I know the refs influence the outcome of games that don't involve the Suns also, but it seems to happen way too often against the Suns.

Individual players get preferential treatment but I don't buy that refs are biased against us as a team.

Davis is a beast and would score 40+ on most big men in the league EASILY.
Booker and Jackson plays him right... aggressively backing him so the ball doesnt get to him.... its similar to what Draymond Green does, he pushes and pushes... since Davis is bigger.. referees allow the smaller guy to push and be aggressive.... Bender gave him 3-4 feet every time... so did Chriss.... and Len was always 3 seconds late covering him

C'mon, that's a lowball offer for Davis. The guy just said he's committed to New Orleans anyway.
so was Durant...
Davis's response is the MOST rehearsed and politically correct answer for any sports men in history.... he's under contract and playing with the team for a playoff spot... he's telling the truth, he's committed. But doesnt mean he can change his tune in the future.
