Hopefully Shamet never plays another second for the Suns

No I wouldn't think so, Craig can actually guard someone. Craigs even been a better 3pt shooter this season. Yeah he has a bonehead turnover here and there but honestly he's been a fairly solid player for them this season.

The argument for Love would be as a small ball 5 for some matchups where you can hide him on D.

You're right but in pressure packed games, I'd rather see Love shooting wide open jumpers. He's got the experience and pedigree to be trusted in big moments.

I'm not opposed to Love but while he's played in a lot of playoff series its been with mixed results. He's also a guy who's been pretty open about his own mental health/anxiety issues.

Plus I can't see ANY circumstance where he would actually close a game. It's 15 mins of backup time at best.

When did we sign Ross that the media says he is already with us and I have not seen the news anywhere while watching daily here and other sites?
On the other hand, I cannot understand that the Cavs are buying out Love when they have a well rounded roster that could make use of him a lot and need them for depth. After Love they have Wade and Robin.
If MIami gets Love, then they will play him behind Adebayo.
I do not like seeing Miami play, as Butler plays the PF (sort of) and everybody is looking for threes and run.
They have like 6 players that all seem the same to me.

my ass a request from Sarver. I don't believe it one bit.

Bridges is a good player. Even very good. But he is not that gifted. Someone has to shoot 25 times in the Nets now and he is the only one who can fabricate his own shots from good places.
I am not taking anything away from him, but 45 in a Nets uniform with Cam, Finney-Smith, Claxton, Simmons, etc is not that good.

A request from Sarver using Ishbia's money, though.

Yeah, pretty easy to spend someone else's money for the guy that didn't want to pay playoff bonuses.

I didn't want Kevin Love as a trade piece or before we got KD, but a buyout Kevin Love, let's do that and not think twice. He is old sure, but he still knows how to rebound better than anyone we have now, and he can still hit a spot-up 3.

He can also pass the ball to the correct team almost every time.

Oh, so that story about Ishbia from Woj was BS? What a surprise.

Imagine being there for 11 1/2 months.

That would be my luck.

It will be like pennies for normal humans after he got that multi-billion dollar amount as punishment for being a terrible person/owner. It would be cool to get $20k, but thinking this is anything but a tax write-off for Sarver is naive.

I just love how some of you ppl are getting in your little cheapshots at Bridges since he got traded. Saw someone saying he was a big distraction to D.A now this crap about him not being that good. Just be happy that he's playing well. He's been one of our best players and our best player when Book and CP were out. He's showing that he can be one of the best 2 way players in the league and I wish nothing but success for Bridges.

What do you think our chances are of winning the West and the Championship if we win the West?
