I was excited with Knight at first but he's been a big letdown for me, even his prior injury games, letdown because of the fact that he will probably expect a fat contract next year and I really dont think he's worth a near max contract, even the one he turned down at Milwaukee. And Bledsoe! smh. he is not the future, he is not worth his contract, he looks good on paper but can anyone really say he is the building block of the franchise?

a Knight/Bledsoe combo will be a HUGE mistake for the franchise

Knight trade looking so bad now. Could be the worst move in Suns history especially if that Lakers pick turns out to be a stud like Russell, or Simmons next season..... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

The way T.J. Warren was ignored in the 4th quarter was ridiculous. There were a couple of instances where he had a mismatch again Augustine, and his teammates refused to give him the ball (often in favor of ill chosen three point shots). I understand that they don't want to give Len the ball on mismatches, but Warren was the only guy who had it going in the second half - the Suns should have been running plays for him.

I don't know it seems to me all the players look for the young ones. From what I've noticed over the season, and this includes from the beginning, we often miss wide open guys, or guys that get a lead on their man. Maybe some of our guys lack confidence in their passing ability.

If Warren keeps moving well without the ball, guys will continue to find him.

As for Knight, first game back. :roll: I think people forget how confidence or lack there of hinders players game. Even the great Dragic had this issue.

I was very high regarding Knight when we traded for him, but like a Sun he has been awful. His shot selection is way way worse than expected, he shots threes with a player in his face and his midrange's game is not something to talk about it. ..he doesn't have. His ability to control the ball is average, not a great ball handler, and his decision making with us has been poor. And what about his defense? He was very agresive on the ball with Milwaukee, but here he has been like a ghost. Every player can go to the rim against him.
I am disappointed.

No...that is just being ridiclious

OK you tell me which starting PG is Bledsoe better than besides Galloway?


Payton - Magic
Beverley - Rockets
Hill - Pacers
Collison - Kings
Lakers - Lin? Clarkson? whoever it is
Jazz - Burke
Bucks - MCW
Nets - Williams

he is easily better than all of them. Then you have a list which are debatable. some will put bledsoe ahead of hem some wont Walker, Jennings, Rondo, Holiday,
