Because he is going home to Texas also, and Houston is farther along than we are.

WTF???

Bledsoe/Thomas/Ennis
Dragic/Green/Goodwin
Deng/Tucker/Warren
Morris/Morris
Plumlee/Len

Positionless basketball, bro. NBA 2.0.

Lets start Thomas/Dragic/Bledsoe/Deng/Markieff and confuse the **** out of everyone.

I don't see anything inherently wrong with that lineup

This is like the Trade Machine All-Star squad. I'd try to trade 63% of that team. I suspect McDonough would too.

I think its a solid defensive big man away from being a solid team.

Tucker, Deng, Thomas>>>>>>>>>>>>>Turkoglu, Warrick, Childress

Times a million.

Tru dat. Those were dark times. I remember wondering if Sarver knew anything about basketball when we signed Childress's contract.

That's fine
moves PJ to the bench

who the hell is playing the 4 spot and don't say Markieff
well you can
but who is on the bench if Markieff is starting

If the Suns sign Tucker, Deng and Thomas - could this be 2010 all over again?

Yeah, we haven't seen the signature McD move yet this summer.....he should have something up his sleeve. I sincerely hope there is something afoot. Grabbing a Terence Jones from HOU for cheap would be a good one...

Ideally the master plan includes a bench of IT, Green, PJ, Kieff, Len.....now that would be a nice bench. Hopefully we have plays to move ahead with either short -term deals for older proven vets (Deng, Pau) as starters, or trades awaiting for quality starting building pieces (Love, Harden-yes,yes, I know these are likely not happening).

Thought the goal was to build a championship team not a solid team that sneaks into the playoffs?

Honestly, that team would be a matchup nightmare for opposing teams...only maybe GSW could hang with that.

Agreed, there have to be better offers out there for Love.

Same. I recall thinking Childress would be our new Matrix and Warrick would be our new Amare :banghead:

Absolutely. Unless they are reserving Wiggins so that they can trade him to Phoenix for Bledsoe. Then I would say to Minny --DO IT!

BTW. I am all for adding young, potential super-star type players, even if it means taking a step back in the w-l columns this year.

harshey1388 · Post #293 » by **harshey1388** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:46 pm

If Minny gives up Love without getting back Wiggins, it would be the most lopsided trade since Gasol to LAL.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

WTF deal is that - that's crap for Love

pure crap

Funky Tut · Post #296 » by **Funky Tut** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:49 pm

No way Minny accepts that crap deal for Love.

MilotheSlayer · Post #297 » by **MilotheSlayer** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:49 pm

Anyone think we can sneak away Harden from the Rockets?

I would laugh and hang up the phone if I were Saunders. And troll them, not answer any calls and throwing out numerous fake proposals for a few days just to get them sweatn'.

Nope.

They want a lineup of Harden-Bosh-Howard

Makes no sense at all.

So is everyone staying or going home now? Melo staying in NY, LBJ to CLE and Bosh to Houston?

Is there any NBA player worth a damn that's from Arizona?
