Nice knowing you Mr. Tucker! :wave:

I remember calling Gambo/Ash after the draft and saying that Tucker was a big mistake and was going to be a bust...they reamed me out. Idiots.

Nothing surprising here.

I still don't get the Tucker pick. At the time they needed a big and there were guys like big baby and Marc Gasol on the draft board and than they go and draft an undersized SF?

He would probably be a good player on a rebuilding team that needs scoring but never made much sense with the team the Suns have. Good guy though, probably can be a 12th man on another team.

The article says their 09/10 options were picked up. I'm confused. does that mean Tucker is not with us anymore since this is the 09/10 season, or do the options have to be picked up now for next season?

Unfortunately it's the latter

Tucker was picked because he killed in college and is a good character guy. It was a perfect pick for our FO. I guess our FO thought they woudl take the chance and hope he develops.

Picking up Dudley's option is the best thing Kerr has done since he got here....

was cur(get it kerr haha) here when we got Grant Hill? If that was mike as gm then I stand corrected but getting grant was awesome for the price. Signing channing was solid as well but extending dudley and lopez is smart letting alando go is smart.

I'd say drafting Earl Clark was probably his smartest move. Once Earl gets the kink worked out in his jump shot he's going to be a very good player. His first game he came in and altered shots and played good D. That's what I like seeing. He also can take his man off the dribble with ease.

I was very pleased with Clarks performance. More aggression and less awkwardness and he will be uber.

In fact I was pleased with our entire bench. Dudley Lou and Dragic played great defense and even gained quite a bit of points for us.
