SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

It does seem like there was a bit of 'strategy' to tonight's lineup. No Booker on the **** side of a back to back.

But Bender has one more assist thanks to him so he's fine in my books.

With what Bender's shown defensively we really have no reason to keep him. A contender could really use him. We just can't. His presence isn't worth the minutes taken from Bender and Warren, and a team like LAC or OKC or whoever could use him to defend the Harden's of the world come playoff time.

He's an FA at year's end. I've wanted him gone for 3 years now, but if he is kept and allowed to be an FA, in which we pay him again or he leaves for free, it's a huge failure imo.

Trying really hard should not be a reason to keep him around.

I'd agree with that. I like Eddie too, but Steve is so bad he brings the team down


Hey I like Steve. His voice reminds me of this guy:

We just need him to get drunk and start talking trash about the team... it would probably be the best entertainment we'd get all year.


I can see it now...

"Len with the 16ft jumper, juuuuuuust a bit short. His third airball of the night there folks."

"Let's see, one rebound ... that's all we've got - one goddamn rebound?"
Eddie: [whispers] "You can't say 'goddamn' on the air".
"Don't worry, nobody's watching anyway."

"We don't know where Williams played last year, but I'm sure he did a hell of a job."

Alex Len. I've been sticking up for you for three years now and somehow youve managed to get worse rather than better. You are the microcosm of an elephant/mouse nursery tale. Please get rid of this guy. While we're on it, Bender is elite defensively and he can replace P.J. easily. Trade his ass. Then if course how can we forget brandon oct 31st knightmare. I cant think of a worse basketball player in the NBA at his caliber and i mean that with all my heart. Maybe youre a good guy IRL but you are so bad at making basketball decisions it makes me not want to watch the suns. 100% serious.

Hint: It involved a certain rookie and how many minutes they played tonight

Also... Ulis is not to small to play 6th/7th man type of minutes, kid is such a game changer.

Knight was definitely a move that bit us in the rear end. It happens, and Ryan shouldn't be killed endlessly for it, but it's time to move on

I noticed that Knight/Len are getting more playing time. Therefore I can only assume we are trying to increase their value before a trade. Tucker looks like he is going to retire. I still don't understand why Bender only got 7 minutes tonight.

Refs really took the wind out of the sails early on in each half. Not completely blaming them, as the starters should know how to compensate for bad reffing. The young ones haven't been to blame for the negatives this season. I don't think they should all play at the same time, but two in at any time should be the M.O. this season.

P.S. I want to slap every single Clippers player in the **** face.

Have you guys ever noticed that you have never seen the same lowpost move or shot from len? Its like playing cards against humanity where you have the same cards but like 1000s of different iterations of it. The **** is going on in that kids head?

Honestly, im ot one of those guys that cries over spilled milk, IE youll still see people hold sarver overbthe fire for the Iggy draft pick trade or kurt thomas fiasco. I really dont care what could have been. But you are right, its time to move on from this guy. My only concern is what is it going to take and is there still a GM out there dumb enough to want BK?

I hope you named the wrong player first.
