Our main concern now is Kieff obviously.. Who is probably going to be the most disgruntled player in the league this coming season. I hope he can get over it. He is a solid player. Also glad we cleared up the SF position for Warren. I know this may sound ridiculous but he could be a bigger star than Aldridge some day. I've been calling it since before we drafted him, Warren looks like he can be an allstar and I believe he will be.

I'm with you on Warren. I think he can legitimately possibly turn into a top 20 player. Watching him is beautiful.

he did sign barbosa in 13-14

Also I hope we're pretty much done for the off season. We should do our due diligence with trades but I doubt there will be anything. We can sign a Seraphin/Jordan Hill type for backup pf and maybe an ish Smith type. Hopefully no one to steal minutes from the SG/SF position, we need to play Warren 20+mins, see what we have in Goodwin, and try to get at least 15 mins for Booker a night.

What was with the Al Horford link?

He signed Barbosa last year though.

When you say true shooting guard I guess we can assume you mean a non-starter? Because I don't see how we possibly have room for another starting quality guard.

I assume Ray Ray is implying one of Bledsoe or Knight would be traded.

Some legit young SG with ceiling still remaining to be reached........Brad Beal and Ben McLemore. I'd rather have Beal, but don't know if Wizards would bite on a trade.

Didn't we just draft Devin Booker?

I still think Bledsoe and Knight can coexist. I say give them an actual shot.

Is it safe to say Marcus was a locker room cancer?

That was my assumption as well. And maybe I'm the only one, but I have gotten the vibe that Brandon Knight has shown coaching/management that he is prepared to assume the leadership role on this team. It doesn't seem like they're fully committed to Bledsoe, despite their constant attempt to convince us otherwise.

Shed some light Ray Ray?

Ray Ray, does the FO view Archie as a 1? Because I don't get wanting another 2 guard. I guess CJ Miles can play some 3 but it still seems strange unless they see Archie as a 1 or don't think Booker is ready to contribute.

Yes he was ... He was also being a bad example to Goodwin and Warren... the sad thing about, no one stepped up and become the leader.. That's why you cannot measure Chandlers signing by what he does only on the court...

this worries me. I would love for Archie and booker just to play the back up guard minutes. I fear were gonna sign some bull **** replacement level guard and I'm gonna hate every minute they play. At some point we need to let guys like Archie Warren and booker **** play and see what we have in them.

They're are not trading Bledoe or Knight... At least not right now.. They're looking for a bench player who can play some defense and shoot the ball..

WeekapaugGroove · Post #256 » by **WeekapaugGroove** » Sun Jul 5, 2015 5:42 am

Ray ray do they think len and chandler can play together? Or is the plan to play len 18 mins a game? Edit add.. if that's the god damn plan I hope everyone gets fired and Sarver sells the team.

I think the Suns have a pretty good idea how Kieff is handling the trade. If something needs to be done it needs to happen before training camp. His value may not be great now with the legal troubles but it will be worse if he goes into his shell and it spills into the season. If being separated from his soulmate makes a man out of him then we'll have a great player on a great contract.

I still wonder about Bledsoe or Knight ever reaching their peak while playing together.

Again through all of this... it seems like the front office really likes Archie.

When does our summerleague start, I got a basketball itch watching the Orlando Summerleague. ..... need me some Tj Warren!

As a bucks fan I'm actually excited to see knight at the 2. It's where he belongs and I would be very worried about him as our pg.

This is a weirdly constructed team but I actually like the knight Bledsoe combo in theory.
