If Peters was given Bender's body, he'd be a good player.

Bender is a b!tch such a pussy, I really feel like yelling at his face.

Has Quese climbed above Dragan in terms of prospects? The gap has certainly closed. Just not in the way you'd expect.

He looks good lately, possibly he got the **** through his head that they got Josh to understand. His body langue still sucks at times but he complains less and keeps playing more often. Not as many dumb frustration fouls lately and he is more hustle, run, rebound, put body on someone than his previous self. It seems we simplified what we want him to do and it has had an impact.

Bender and Quese have the potential they just need a real coach to really grind them and make them become good role players. Plus side is they're both young. this summer is critical for them in their development.

Suns really could have something if Bender/Quese develop along with getting a top pick like Ayton (ideally) or some combo of Doncic/Bomba (trade up)

I agree. The ideal scenario would be to keep both, add a starting center, and give the both of them time to figure out where they fit on a winning team.

I understand why McD might want to move on from one of them in order to add current talent, but it doesn't make sense if you're not getting real value in exchange. If they're not valued, just add the current talent and stay the course.

For sure. While I've cooled on both of them a lot this year (no real development from them), I could still see these two very young guys getting their stuff together, and becoming contributing players in the league. Not all stars (as we hoped at draft time), but a servicable 4th-7th guy is still OK in my book if you drafted them and you are invested in them.

There was a TON of goodwill during and after this game. Tons of sportsmanship and love and hugging after the game. Jordan and Doc Rivers dapping and hugging Suns players... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!?!
