Mason Plumlee to the Blazers. Yup this confirms everyone's suspicion that LMA is long gone

Something has to be in play.... the team still doesnt make much sense.

The Suns Front office today has been a joke ! This draft has been pretty boring as well. Suns will be stuck in mediocrity for a long time . I guess will have to see what they do in free agency .

It does to the Suns. 5 guards, 4 small forwards, one power forward, one center, and some new player that nobody on here even knew has been in the league for years. A perfectly balanced team.

Random aside. With Leur in the fold and re-signing Knight & Wright we'll have 14 players going into next year. Of course Macneal's deal isn't guaranteed so we could drop it down to 13. We have to start making moves right away.

Wasn't a suspicion. He told the Blazers before the draft.

Well this was pretty anticlimactic. I guess there's still the possibility of a lot of movement starting in July b/c of that salary matching restriction thing.

So...

http://www.spotrac.com/nba/memphis-grizzlies/jon-leuer/

"2015 non-guaranteed, fully guaranteed if not waived on or before 06/30/15"

We might have a trade lined up where we needed to send salary that could get axed. Hmm...

Leuer scores 23 on Markieff and sucks the rest of the season. Suns give up a chance at a young prospect for Leuer. This is basketball hell.

I don't know if we were agresive enough, but we NEEDED to change the picks with The Hornets. We would have selected Winslow, who has All Star potential. Give some picks, give some players...whatever. ..it's a big difference between Winslow or Booker.
What a shame.
Well, hopefully Booker is better than expected and he surprise us.

Why hasn't Christian Wood or Cliff Alexander been selected yet?

Please do tell about our FA plans. "Let's sign another guard!" :lol:

Yes, he is tall and he knows to play pick and pop, he is a stretch 4....our new Anthony Tolliver!

Stretch 4 means shooting 3s in today's NBA. He can't shoot 3s well at all.

He shot 47% from 3 point range the season before.

Leuer is strictly a PF.
That team is a 35 wins at best.

i'm ready to be disappointed again in FA, suns

Funny his highlight game is against us. No wonder they liked him.

I hear we are desperately after Rajon Rondo.
