Preseason Game 3: Portland Trail Blazers @ Phoenix Suns

As far as building a balanced roster goes, McDonough has proven that he can't find his ass with both hands and a flashlight. It's like he's a fantasy league fanboy with tourette's. One year, he gets a bunch of point guards - this year he uses assets and all the cap room to snag 3's.

Canaan looks like utter ****, can't attack to save his life **and he's the best 1 we've got**. How embarrassing is it that *none* of our 1's can make a post-entry pass?

I can only pray that McDonough is getting in on the Butler trade to snag Tyus Jones and to get rid of Harrison and Okobo - the latter of which looks like watching a f-ing slideshow while he herks & jerks with a team built to run. I swear I'll go Vesuvius if we ever get another Frenchman on the roster.....

I'm so glad this game wasn't televised so most non Suns fans missed it hopefully.

This is McD's MO.

Wait until there's nothing left, he has to overpay or the player gets pissed off. It's pretty much been accepted that we would have to overpay even a little because everyone knows the roster McD's built.

Honestly, I just don't imagine there are teams willing to trade a decent PG right now. That time has passed. This should have been addressed a long time ago.

This is why people were considering FVV.

Delon Wright played well tonight....at least last time I checked...maybe he is a guy but the thing is, most teams want nice PG depth...just because they have a starter they are not going to trade a productive backup for the hell of it.

The Clips are a little different, but they have two young guards but my guess is West wants them to see Beverley and maybe Teodosic as examples...same with Sexton/Hill.

My money says he wouldnt. Instead he would apologize to you for whatever he did that made you slap him, then he would cry.

Beta B***h Bender. The Phoenix Soy Boy.

So everyone except Booker?

No. Canaan, Daniels, Reed, Bender and Holmes. It wasn't pretty from the start, but it turned into a massacre only when Ayton went to the bench.

Sucks you are not a fan of Frenchmen...as for finding his ass, flashlight isn't real helpful. I guess with mirror maybe.

JJ is such an average player.

Indiana has Collison, Evans and Joseph. I feel like they ought to be a potential trade partner as well.

Seriously, I don't want JJ initiating any offense unless it's in transition

Is this years #1 pick a PG 'cause I think we are going to be in the running......

Disagree... JJ to Ayton pick and roll is nasty.

Not since Boris Diaw got his fat deal and physically matched it by turning into Croissant Boy who passed when he was 6 inches from the rim. And now Okobo, who plays at one speed - below medium and head down. So no - no more Frenchmen on this team.

No one is watching the Suns except super die hard fans, and they should certainly be used to this.

If they are not expecting a bunch of blowout bad losses this year, I am not sure what to tell them.

We will be competitive sometimes and maybe surprise but we are going to look bad a lot. We are picked to finish with like the 3rd or 4th worst record, and while I think we very well could be better, it is going to be a tough season for us...not as tough as last, or probably the last 3, but tough....especially if we don't have a pg emerge or get traded for.

We are still really young. It will be interesting to see how engaged a guy like Ariza stays or if he will want to get traded around the deadline.

Ohh against the 29th ranked defense Kings sure. Against the NZ Breakers, sure.

Any halfway decent NBA team. Please no
He's racked up 5 TO's to find just 6 assists

Okobo is a rookie who has played in what, 3 games? Not many minutes....these extreme early judgements...don't really understand it, though I guess I'm used to severe overreactions.

I tihnk Ariza is a real pro but I have to wonder how long he can keep his sht together with this team
