Well, not surprised. Once Riley got Granger and Josh McRoberts - to me, it was pretty much done deal for the Big 3 back to Miami

So, what is Plan B....hmmmm

Which to me, is just laughable. Those guys are solid additions sure, they do nothing to address Miami's lack of post defense or relieve the pressure on Lebron.

We need to turn our focus to beating the elite out west. Come on McDonough.

Bummer!!!!!!

Oh, well - I'm proud of the Suns for trying. We have a great team and I'm happy to see what McD does next.

I believe in McD

Hopefully this has an effect on us like Lebron to clippers in 2010 did when they eventually landed CP3.


Phoenix IS a big market we just have to get the revenue dollars to athletes to match it.

More businesses that move here, more money that can flow out of phoenix, the more athletes will turn their attention here

I hope plan B is getting Gordon Hayward. Hornachek knows him best coaching him in Utah. He's a solid player who does it all. Would we have to overpay for him? Yes. But I think he makes us better because he's an unselfish team player, who can knock down the 3 ball when Dragic/Bledsoe drive to the hoop.

Not sure what big men are left, but we're thin there if we already weren't enough. Thats the biggest concern.

I'm all in for Hayward.

All bias aside, I think LeBron is making a mistake. Would be very interested to hear his reasoning. Has to be Miami, Cleveland would be utter stupidity.

I'm good with Hayward or Parsons, whoever McD feel's is most "gettable" for a reasonable price. Wouldn't pay more than $10-12 for either.

I don't get what LeBron had to do with the Clippers success? Not only did CP3 get traded to the Lakers only for it to be rescinded, but the Clippers gave up A LOT of talent for CP3 AND this is Los Angeles we're talking about. Apples and oranges.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

Have to agree, looks like it's going to be Miami.

I hope Plan B is Ryan Anderson - think he would be a great fit for us. Only on a two year deal, so allows us to keep flexibility.

Plan B should be retaining our FA's and look at some low cost additions to keep us competitive while we develop our youth. Excited!

I like Parsons. But he's overrated. And he roofied Jeremy Lin with molly in a club. Hayward wouldn't do that. I'm not following the Spurs philosophy. If he's a knucklehead, a party animal, a thug, a wannabethug, a diva. Don't want him. Get sound, quality, team players who play together and work as a team. It's successful if done correctly.

Accomplishing the task is the hard part.

Well good now we can see what all those other deals McD had lined up were and I can start weening myself of Realgm refresh every 30 seconds.
