How bad did Mag Rolle have to be, not to get another shot by now from someone. He is a young 6"11 shot blocker athlete right?

Suns should look into trading for someone like chris kaman or maybe even anderson varajeo.

who do we cut/deactivate? If Lopez is hurt, put him on the DL and let him get better


Normally I'd agree with you but we have more enough wings on our team to start an 8-team wings-only league.

Varejao would've been great. Gortat, too.

but we have what we have. Earl Barron might be a good addition, even though he's slow ass and not a good player overall, he might really fit well into this team. Frye-Hedont line-up is a distaster defensively.

I just thought with his insane leaping ability, he would help with boards, also I like the kid a lot

but rebounding is more about smarts and desire than athletic ability alone, and I have no idea if JA can defend 5s. Still, I hope he finds a spot

As Fishii said, we're already stacked enough at the three spot anyway. We dont need to add another role player to our roster.

Out rebounding from the 3 position is already above average. Hill is doing great on the boards at the three, and so is Childress. Our main problem is the rebounding from our big men.

Nah, the guy is a 3 with limited shooting ability and got drafted based on potential and athletic talent alone. I'm not sure if he's ever played the 4 but he looks too weak to guard the 4 and certainly the 5.

ChrisinAZ, do you have some inside info that we don't know about? Calling out the Baron thing a day before it breaks. :o
