This is true. There are very little, if any repercussions for poor reporting. I think people themselves are partly to blame because we constantly give these people attention - just look at how many threads were created in response to articles/tweets by Broussard and Windworst (oops).

Thoughts on Javale McGee? Besides his low IQ. Can he be a Defensive Big who can protect the rim?

Also, Would anyone be interested in Gallinari? Med staff may be able to do something for him. I have always been a fan and thought he would fit well here and he is fairly young.

Is there any trades that would make sense with the Nuggets?

I understand upgrading at center if there's a clear upgrade for the taking (Horford, Gasol, etc. becomes available via trade), but Plumlee is a very good fit for this team and can protect the rim. I'd rather let him play 30 minutes a game with Len getting the remainder. If Len doesn't pan out, then sure maybe you look for a rotation big like Javale, but if the staff has faith in Len why bring in a moderate talent with less upside to take his minutes?

I like Galinari in our system a lot. Problem is his salary is damn high. It would depend on what was given up. If it was just our own picks (not lakers) or Green I'd be okay with it.

My dream is Len puts up 10/10 and 2 bpg with good defense!

I would love Gallinari it looks like he has 2 years at 10 mill left on Contract. Is last year an option or no?

If Bledsoe doesn't explicitly not want to be a Sun, we just need to sign him and we'll have a potential 52 win team. Hopefully have enough space to go after a big piece in FA next season and become a contender. Or hope that Plumlee or Len has a huge breakout season.

If we sign Bledsoe what do you think his Stat Line will look like?

You really think we win 52 games?

Does he play more than 65 games?

I like McGee but I'm more comfortable with Plumlee's slightly lower level of production and significantly lower salary.

I love Gallo. I think he's one of those guys who could really turn us into a solid playoff team. He's got size, shooting ability and BBIQ. I don't like his salary though, I think he's overpaid for his level of production.

I think it's more Schultz being unreliable and talking out of his ass.

I think it's likely a crap Klutch leak but Schultz should've fact checked.

Nah, he's just an idiot with no connections, who makes up crap.

1. 17/6 on 30 MPG

2. If our starters and Green are mostly healthy, yes.

3. Probably

I think George's injury is the easily the 2nd most gruesome and disgusting injury I have seen after Kevin Ware's injury.

Post #1671 » by **lilfishi22** » Mon Aug 4, 2014 6:28 am

I've not seen either and don't plan to ever.

Theoreticaly yes, Gallinari would be a valuable addition. Problem is he cannot stay on court because he is one of the most injury prone players in the NBA.

And just NO to McGee.

I must be missing something regarding Gallo. Always thought he was slightly above-average at best. Same with Wilson Chandler. Would rather the Twins and TJ get those minutes at a qtr the price.

I cant see how adding another tweener forward to this roster would ever be considered valuable.

Interesting that Tyler Ennis has not yet been signed. Wonder if the Suns have something contingent upon the signing of Bledsoe.

Yeah, this has been bothering me. Why else would we not sign him? Plan to trade him as soon as Bledsoe's under contract? But to whom? For what? Why draft him in the first place?
