It will be interesting if they do somehow end up with Rondo/Matthews/Casspi/Gay/Cousins then that doesn't sound bad if Rondo gets back to form. McLemore and WCS off the bench. Not bad.


Did you just tell me that Rondo and Matthews are gay cousins?


Its ok they are second removed. Its perfectly kosher

Oh yeah, I used to spend hours there playing all sorts of games, and driving the cars and playing mini golf, but that was a LONG time ago. It was THE place, but then it seemed to deteriorate.


One the West Side of the Valley started to develop further (Glendale and Peoria) Metrocenter just made a nosedive. Arrowhead Mall was basically the beginning of the end for Metrocenter.

Arrowhead is waaaaay nicer, the AMC theater there have large Lay Z boy style recliners


Oh yeah, Arrowhead is nice. Arriba out there...love it...Hatch Chicken Especial all day. Their movie theaters are awesome too, and I'm talking like 10 years ago so it must be really nice now.

I'm OK with Kieff as our PF. He's cheap, relatively productive for his salary and without his brother around, he may get better.

Edit: Damn, you fixed it and now my post is no longer funny.


"are" was just a placeholder until I looked at their depth chart. :wink:

One thing I remember McD saying is that he wants FAs to be honest with him so that Suns can move on and spend their time and resources on other guys instead of waiting too long while other guys are getting taken off the market.

I wonder if he told LMA that.

Well I looked at the FA list and at this point, it doesn't matter much because no one is left. Plus, if we don't sign him we only have 7 in cap space unless we move other people. We are set up fairly nicely.

He's gonna work his ass off to make sure he is a good enough starter to where we don't think we need someone better. I think Markieff got 80% of the brains between the two of them.

So then why is there an if attached to it? It shouldn't be contingent upon anything if its a done deal that is yet to go public

So that's a Rockets insider? If that's the case why did we clear 8 million today including Danny Granger who the FO wanted to be around the young guys? Unless of course things have recently developed on LMA front.
