It worked well with Dragic so I expect Stephen Curry to be on the Suns next season 8-)

Do you think he sucks? Because he doesn't. He is actually a legitimate NBA caliber player.

So legit he's played for multiple summer league and D-League teams, yet the longest contract he's ever signed in the NBA is a 10-day'er. :nod:

I guess Hassan Whiteside wasn't a legitimate NBA caliber a few months ago, right?

In case you weren't aware, the NBA is absolutely LOADED with point guards. PG is by far the hardest position to find a spot in this league if you are a young player. The fact that Seth was arguably the best player in the D League proves he has game

You'll always find gems in the D-League. But Seth Curry isn't a diamond in the rough from everything I've seen.

Stockton's boy is playing pretty well in the D-League too, why don't we give him a call?

Not saying he is going to be as good as Whiteside or anything but I personally think he can be a very nice backup PG with a money jump shot. That position is open for us going forward so I don't see why we shouldn't give it a shot.

He isn't a PG and he doesn't play like a PG. I don't see the point of this signing at all. I'd rather have Archie in there with only his defense than more chucking.

He''ll probably be just another body riding the pine. If he gets called up at all it wont be for long unless he proves that he is worthy of a spot on an NBA roster. Will probably be sent down as soon as Knight returns from the injury which isnt all too serious from what I've heard.

This is probably to hold us over until Knight returns.

That is really all it is. Plus Seth played in our summer league and spent some time on the Jam, so he is pretty familiar with how we run things.

That's fine, and all, but who exactly were the Suns supposed to sign to a 10-day contract? Knight, being essentially a combo guard that is temporarily injured, they went out and signed another player of his ilk. I don't think anyone here, well, not MANY here believe this is anything more than what it is--a temporary solution to a temporary problem. He likely won't see the court for more than 5-10 minutes a game, if that. I fully expect to see Goodwin get more burn.

Way too much Seth Curry talk here. We may see what he can do in practice, give him a little burn if someone else gets injured. He is probably more insurance than anything. If Goodwin or Bledsoe went down, we'd really be pressed in our backcourt for players, given that we traded Dragic, Thomas, and Ennis, and then only picked up Knight, who is out.

The excitement and optimism for a 15th man is comical. I guess it is needed, since the fever pitched giddiness for Earl Baron has subsided.

We need this season just to end already. Each game it just gets worse.

Emotionally i am already in next season, only thing that makes this worse is trading off valuable assets for Knight who may or may not even be on the team next year and if he is at what cost... It would be so much easier to be a bandwagon fan that put up with this over and over but apparently i am an emotional masochist as far as basketball fandom is concerned

S&T Knight to the Kings for Ben McLemore. Or trade Bledsoe to the Kings for Ben McLemore. I don't care which point guard stays so much as long as one has to go because I'm tired of this two PG lineup. McLemore is a guy who can shoot the three and also knows how to cut to the basket. I think Bledsoe might actually be able to average 7.5 to 8.5 assist per game if he had McLemore and Warren starting with him since they know how to move without the ball.
Sign Kevin Love. Re-Sign Brandon Wright.
Bledsoe/McLemore/Warren/Love/Len
Well balanced starting five.
