I don't know, guys. Garrett Siler was, or is, pretty awful.

Telfair is not a bad lockerroom guy at all. In fact, I think he's an adequate backup PG and learning under Nash will only help him. He had so much hype due to the movie and the book and has never been in a winning situation... I think Phoenix will be a nice fit.

:nonono:

Is this just going to be a whole season where half the people here just **** on the Suns ? What a sourpussing bunch.

Telfair is our 3rd string PG...and trying to be 2nd.

This wasnt exactly an open roster position that was attractive to available free agents. 3rd chair, 1 yr deal.... Fact is, few have any idea how many FA PGs we contacted, or how few applied. Give the kid a chance. He rolled two decent yrs back to back then his wheels fell off a bit. Dont expect much and you wont be disappointed.

Hate the thoughts of those Mikey D'GM days. Considering he opted for Banks over Rondo. Any wonders why Sarver thought he could the same or better job running the team ? That may have been the most damaging series of events to this organization. Think about it.

I have thought the same thing. I hated those days, mainly because Mike the GM thought Banks was worth the deal, yet Mike the coach disagreed. :o

As far as worst player? That would be a tough one. Robey? Just caused he cost us DJ.

I love what we can do for him but what can we get out of him? I don't know him well but from what I've seen, he's been given opportunities to shine but has come up short time and time again.

Low risk, low-medium reward?

I don't think Gentry has made any kind of decision yet. It seems to be up for grabs right now. GO DOWDELL!

I disagree. I thought that at the end of the season when Lopez became a total waste of space and Siler started getting minutes, he did pretty good. Now he has lost weight and worked out with Hakeem this offseason, I think he can be a good backup C.

Dream was teaching The Gortat - Siler was there as the other body for the one-one-one. Which is not to say he learned nothing, only that that wasn't the intent of the project

@BassyS31T Sebastian Telfair
Walking in second practice now. Let's see what @stevenash can teach me thus session.

At least he has a positive attitude.
