I LOVE OUR FRONT OFFICE!!!! We took the player we had highest on our board, regardless of position!!! People talk about it all the time, but how often does it **** happen!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

Strange as this may sound, this is one of proudest days as a Suns fan!!!

Gambo would freak out on you right now.


Well I'm a lot smarter than Gambo. And so is McD. It's nice to know that the guy in charge is smarter than the guy on the radio. When the owner was GM, he wasn't even as smart as your more enthusiastic fans. How times have changed.

On that note,
Thanks, Robert. This is amazing. I will buy some merchandise :D

What? No. It says they picked up another asset.

Could be that too. Its confusing.

We are still very thin in the front court. We still have no one who can guard Boogie, Dwight, or Zbo.

I'd offer Marcus, Ennis and a 2nd for Ryan Anderson - that Asik deal hasn't happened yet so it could help them cap-wise, and they have no backup at PG as Roberts is a FA. Ennis has more upside than Rivers who is just a brutal NBA player.

If we do end up choosing between Dragic and Bledsoe, I keep thinking Dragic is who McD's moving, even if most of us don't want that.

How about this for a 3 teamer:

Dragic to IND
Stephenson S&T to MIL
Ersan + Henson + pick to PHX

Plumlee / Len / Henson
Ersan / Kieff / Henson
Tucker / Warren
Green / Goodwin
Bledsoe / Thomas

Try and sign Aminu and Morrow for depth/some cheap vets who know their roles.

We MUST get another PF or C (ideally both) if we want to compete for a playoff spot.

Otherwise we will be fun to watch, but we won't hit the 50 win mark needed to make the playoffs.

I am hoping we can somehow keep Green for at least one more year. He makes some real dumb plays but damn he is fun to watch when he gets it going.

I have liked Ryan Anderson forever so I do hope we get him just not at the expense of Green.

I would rather spend our money on Anderson than Deng as well. Hopefully Miami grabs Deng.

Ish, Randolph and a trade exception for Anderson - just do it.

If the suns trade Ennis, what does that say? Its almost like they made a mistake with that pick.

No, it doesn't. It means we picked up the best talent available and we are now using said talent to acquire someone else. He is an asset. If he doesn't fit your team, you use that asset to acquire one that does, but you still always pick the highest talent on the board.


Exactly. Remember, the team two spots down from us called and try to deal with us immediately. I'd say we knew what we were doing.

If the Pistons had the #12 pick, would Ennis have been in play for them? I think so.

This isn't the front office of old, my friend (hopefully we can call each other friends around here). Ennis is highly valued, and if he gets moved it's going to be for something of quality. McD gets it.

Typical Deuce.... Dumping a little turd....

How about we drafted a desirable asset to be used in a trade? Don't you see it by now? Your professed jealousy over Ainge and his asset accumulation... Where do you think McDo cut his teeth?

You are always attacking posters. Dude you are the very definition of (Please Use More Appropriate Word). Typical Frank Lee. I simply asked a question. Its quite obvious if you trade your draft pick you were not that high on him. You dont like what I say or other people just ignore it. Damn, your stuck on stupid.


No dude... I'm just monitoring your continual spew. I answered your question btw. And then commented on your assumption. I guess if Ennis is traded someone else wants 'our mistake'

Now go away or I will taunt you a second time

I actually really like this signing for a couple of reasons. I can't think of any team that has a better rotation at PG, and with Thomas playing 6th man, a lot of his minutes will come against opposing teams benches where he should be able to light them up. His contract being front-loaded is definitely a winner.
If we can just sign Gasol, I think we would be a dangerous team that is extremely deep and versatile.

I think I've identified the problem with their offense. They all stand around doing nothing. It ain't IT's fault!

Edit: Looking at the weaknesses in that video, I think it's fair to say he could learn a thing or two from Goran, who learned from Steve, and from Jeff. I think he's going to look very good here.
