So this is why the Suns didn't try and get West in the Shaq deal. Other than the fact that Sarver is pinching pennies, this explains alot. Since the Suns only want "good example" type players.
Still could have included Hickson.

I would still trade J-Rich for him & fillers. I think the image of the Suns has changed a lot since Sarver acquired the team. It was the Colangelo's who wanted their players to be an examples to others. Recent players like Matt Barnes, Shaq, and J-Rich pretty much shows that.

West is too small to play the 2. He'd be good playing behind Nash though.

Really? I would trade JRich for a center, and a center only.

How does one carry three guns while riding a motorcylce anyways?

What, like one on his chest, one on his hip and an ankle holster!?

I'm not even mad... I'm impressed...

But seriously, that's disturbing.

He had two pistols and a shotgun on him, a pistol in a hip holster, another on ankle holster, and the shotgun was inside a guitar case. I don't know why he did that, but I laughed hard when I heard about where the shotgun was placed.

The other thing I don't get is, in most NBA contracts you're barred from riding on motorcycles...so this could be a double whammy for him.

I also don't get what he was doing in Prince George's County - it's near DC, and it's a terrible part of town.

You can't make this **** up...

So he was caught speeding and cut off a cop driving one of these:

while carrying one of these:

in one of these:

and also had these on him:

What the hell was he up to? The only acceptable answer is that he was coming from a shooing range, but knowing this dude, that was not the case. Only a few months ago he made headlines for posting this video online of him and one of his dawgs high as **** waiting on KFC.

What is he rolling in that video? I can't figure out what kind of car that is....

If there were any quality centers out there we could get for J-Rich, thats easy. Too bad Dalembert is probably the only big out there and he has his cons.

And West might be undersized for a 2 guard. But he defends other wing players better than pretty much anyone on our team.
