What, now everyone is off of the trade one of Bled/IT/Goran bandwagon? You mean we did the right thing by waiting and seeing? Hmmmm.......
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

I'm still on it. Though I do understand the need to be patient and very careful with regards to any major moves at this point in the rebuild.

They...the three (sorta) point guards are doing fine. These guys could keep it up, even get real hot and get the Suns into the playoffs comfortably. I just can't wrap my brain around the idea that this Suns team could ever go very far with these three guards all playing 27 to 35 minutes each.

I still think that eventually one of them will have to move elsewhere if the Suns are to truly contend.

I'm on "trade IT bandwagon". Keep Bled, keep Goran.

That's right, we play our best defense with all 3 point guards on the court at the same time. A big middle finger to anyone saying that the small-ball is bad for our defense.

Also, a lot of Bledsoe, Len and Tucker at the top, as expected.


:o @ that Net.

I absolutely love watching the lineup of the 3 PG's plus Len and Keef. Len has been awesome on the boards and protecting the rim, and Keef has been money with that midrange J in the clutch. Such a sick lineup.


Me too actually.

IT/Dragic and Markief all provide pretty decent spacing.

If Bledsoe was 6'8 this team would be elite.

I agree. Especially given the amount of technical fouls that he has already committed this season.

Also that wasn't just a disagreement with the coach, that was rage and his body language was intimidating. There will be more to this behind closed doors. Hornacek won't just let that slide, nor should he.

Love the Morris boys but they can get :crazy:

Who is the peacemaker ? Dragic chiming in something too...

Don't think much more will come of this. Should be an internal matter if so.
What ? Me Worry ?

That should shut up all the IT and three-headed monster haters. I still say we have two point guards and a shooting guard (Dragic). Our starting PF and C spots are good too. We could use some quality backups for those two spots. Also, if something special could be found at the SF position (would have to be all-star level). Otherwise I'm still happy standing pat this year and looking for only minor changes in the offseason.

Fell in love with the three-headed monster during the preseason. Three aggressive guards are very tough to guard. IT is very small but he actually plays good defense which is shocking. I also love them with Keef and Len.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

Lets see if they can continue this success when the competition gets tougher. This 12-13 game stretch the Suns have had was an incredibly easy schedule with only 3 good teams.

If you look at the upcoming Suns schedule, you will see it gets harder and then we can see if the 3 guard lineup gets exposed for what it is or not.
