Suns Offseason Thread V: I Am My Brother's Kieffer

[batsmasher]

Headcase is a pretty harsh thing to call a dude with mental issues. I prefer to reserve if for the crazy types like MWP.

It is Dallas, he's in Dallas at the moment presumably meeting with Cuban and co.

Oh, I don't know the history with him, and if he really has mental health issues, then yes, I shouldn't have used those terms as I am well aware that those problems are real and know people impacted by them so do have empathy for that.

[batsmasher]

Yeah he was treated for anxiety and depression.

This was made a while back:

Update: I jumped to a conclusion real quick there:

Mavs are interested, but have nothing to do with the flight.

Hey guys, I just left the Marshall's in Tolleson and they had AUTHENTIC orange sleeved jerseys, white authentic jerseys, and old orange authentic jerseys. They're blank jerseys, no name or number.

Orange sleeve cost me 17 bucks !!!! It's authentic !!!! I have a friend that stitches so that's easy stuff.

Unnamed West Team Internally Discussing Signing Larry Sanders

Oct 12, 2015 8:00 PM

A Western Conference team has had internal talks about signing Larry Sanders, according to a source.

Sanders and the Milwaukee Bucks agreed upon a buyout last season in which he took significantly less money to walk away from the game.

Sanders signed a four-year, $44 million extension in 2013 with the Bucks.

Any chance we are taking a flyer on Sanders?

Hmmmm.... I'd weed out most of the teams... and leave Portland and Denver as the front runners.

lol Westbrook with 14/8/13 in 22 minutes

I wish the guy who told me he'd take Bledsoe over Westbrook still posted here

Guys you should read this about Knight, there is a reason why he shoots 3 too much and not drives.

He was the worst finishing at the rim PG in the league when the Suns traded for him from Milwaukke, ironically enough Dragic was the best.

I don't think he's very good at driving and finishing, he missed a wide open one at the buzzer with the Bucks iirc as well. However, if he can knock down the 3s at an elite clip then it won't matter as much if Bledsoe can drive, finish well and be a big enough threat to where Knight's defender helps off.

Apparently both teams have offered him a 420k deal already. That's plenty of green for a guy like Sanders if you ask me.

And we all know Sanders is a fan of the green stuff.

[Mulhollanddrive]

Took a 95% paycut for a 6 month holiday?

[sunskerr]

These teams wanting Sanders should watch out. He could easily burn them.

[jcsunsfan]

That green stuff.

For not being unhealthy, and not being addictive, people make a lot of horrible life decisions because of it.

To be fair, you have to acknowledge that he has a lot of other issues.

To the Kieff haters.

8M a year for a very solid player.

A guy who is developing a 3 point shot and improving his game.

He's not whining and complaining anymore.

We won, Suns are better with him than without him, Marcus Morris hope you rot in the freezing cold in detroit you scrub.

Please understand the Suns front office handled this very well by not buckling and trading him (yet)

If Warren/Booker/Goodwin develop into good players we are going to be very good guys (or 2 of the 3)

[Revived]

It's been two pre season games. I don't still hold any grudges against Kieff just cause I don't care enough about him but I can certainly understand those who still don't like him.

Two more season games and comments made during a media day isn't gonna make everyone run to the sunsteamshop.com and get Kieff jerseys.

To say he's not complaining and whining anymore....again, "anymore" is two pre season games. To say it's a small sample size would be the understatement of the year.

He's definitely on the right path but let's see how long it lasts and if he can continue to stfu to the refs even after the season starts.

Morris has done exactly what he said he would do a month ago.
Come in, do his job etc. But still he wants out.

Until he comes out and says he wants to be part of the future, I think he is doing the things he is doing to raise his value up.

True. Cant say im not happy about the situation though. I thought initially he'd ruin the good chemistry built over the summer when he comes back but he meshes seamlessly with them. And hes actually cooperating with us in raising his trade value. If he wants out its fine, none of us will be mad hes gone.

[DRK]

If Kieff leaves, we're screwed. He's the only player on the team that can create his own shot consistently. Hes the only guy that mid a mid range game, and hes the only guy that can post up.

He needs to stay
