No, that's Terrence Williams. IIRC, he likes Motiejunas more than Jones.

If we got T Jones, I'ld be ecstatic. An athletic shot-blocking, mobile 4 man who has some range?

Sign me up! Pair him with Chandler and it's swat-city.

Pair him with Tele at the 5 and Los Soles weeps with happiness.

FOE can go.

These are not really Tyson Chandler's legs are they?

Wait this merits further research, because if so I feel totally validated as a human being

I almost never go to the gym, but just from hiking and other outdoor activity my legs are Tyson Chandler times at least 2...

I don't know, google "Tyson Chandler legs" and there are a bunch of results but they're all that same picture

But just look for pictures of him and they actually do look a little skinny:

One of the biggest things Bled needs to work on is this. He always tries to ISO in late clock situations and he sucks at it. Has to be a much better heads up player to get out of the grenadiers category.

On my journey to discover the true size of Tyson's legs, I found this picture old picture of Alex.

Image

Good news, I think we drafted a 15 year old. Still plenty of growth in Alex. No wonder McD was so high on him.

Also this, which needs no explanation.

I guess you are bound to have pretty skinny legs if you are 7 ft and lean. I guess KG's, David Robinson's, Kareem's and Olajuwon's were probably skinny too.

How about, Houston doesn't want to part with Ariza, and therefore, no deal can be made with them until december $wise. How about we let NavLo continue his league wide search and self entertaining trade machine manure spreading ? How about we acknowledge this assclown disgruntling pseudo diva is considered a marginally talented problem child through out the league. GMs do not like drama at any cost, and certainly not for a borderline starter/back up, 'great contract' be damned. Wake up, the whole money equation is about to be blown wide open.

And really, can we just put Houston aside ??? Nothing but wishful thinking. No indication from their fan base nor FO that they'd want anything to do with NoMoBro, and certainly not at the expense of Ariza. They are thin at SF. Go read the big board about it. Its not just me

This doesn't excite me. His moves look the same as last year and the year before. Very predictable step back jumper.
I guess I'm glad he's not trying to stick it to Phoenix by sitting around eating doughnuts.

That video is really strange. What is the point of it? To show teams that even though he is not in Phoenix with rest of the Suns he is still staying in shape? Considering how well it was filmed and edited, it was like a promotional video to the league saying trade for me. He also never wears Suns gear in it but he does wear an Orlando Magic Penny Hardaway jersey at one point. Could have at least worn a Suns shirt but obviously he has no interest in playing for the Suns anymore.

Also, with some of his moves inside that he spins and lays up a finger roll or finesse shot, I could not help but think that a young Amare would have ripped the rim off instead of doing so many weak looking hoops inside like Markieff did. The guy is a joke. This video is embarrassing. All the Suns players are scrimmaging in Phoenix and you are playing with random people in a gym rebelling against an organization that made you a multi-millionaire. Oh yeah guys, let's keep him, he is epitome of what we want in a Phoenix Sun.

YES!!!! FrankLo said I can continue to make pain-med-induced trade proposals! So, here's today's installment!

jcSunsFan--no need to comment on how tragically bad these ideas are, I know...just move along and save yourself the ire and irritation you'll feel by perusing these! That said, let's proceed!

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=q5e72de

PHX In: Horford
ATL In: Kieff, Len


Horford has just a year left on his deal, so while this looks lopsided for us, we'd have to pay him in the offseason. Is he good enough to take us where we want to go? Probably not, and I'd hate to trade Len away, but there are those on this board that would prefer 'established' over 'developing', so this trade idea is for that crowd.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=q76hucf

PHX In: Porzingis, J. Grant
NYK In: Kieff, 2016 1st Rd pick (unprotected)


Now, hear me out. The Knicks get a PF they can use now, before Melo retires, and a potential lottery draft pick next season. We get another development body for our rebuild, and we could actually use a decent development PG, believe it or not.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nn3nphv

PHX In: Ilyasova, Drummond
DET In: Kieff, Len, 2016 1st Rd Pick-Unprotected, 2019 1st Rd Pick-Lottery Protected


Another trade idea that's lopsided in our favor, hence the unprotected 1st next season, which with Drummond, would likely not be in the lottery. So we add the 2019 pick, which I believe is the year we receive the first of Miami's 1st Rd picks owed to us. That leaves us with 2016-Clev 1st, 2017-our 1st, 2018-our 1st, 2019-Heat's 1st--so we still retain a 1st Rd pick in each year. Time to use these picks as trade fodder, IMO, especially if it nets us a star Center.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=qhrqdco

PHX In: C. Parsons
DAL In: Kieff, Tucker


Allows us to replace Tucker with a 'better', yet overpaid, SF, and Dallas gets a PF to play behind Dirk. I'm not a huge fan of Parsons, personally, and this would likely limit Warren's development, but it works, and only McD and Horny know how far along Warren is, and what they expect he can offer.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=qhgqgzq

PHX In: JJ Hickson, 2016 Portland 1st Rd draft pick via DEN-protected 1-14 in 2016/2017, then becomes 2 2nd Rd picks in 2018
DEN In: Kieff


Hickson would do well paired with Len (who has range), while Mirza is playing with Chandler. Hickson is a lot like TT, but cheaper and not as good. Denver has a slew of 1st Rd picks next season, but with POR struggling, this is probably the best one for us.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nwepw4f

PHX In: WCS, McLemore
SAC In: Kieff, Goodwin, 2016 1st-Lotto Protected


Sacramento has ZERO true PFs on their roster. Now, many would love for us to go after Cousins, but for as bad as my ideas are, Cousins ain't happenin'. We might have to throw a pick in, since both WCS and McLemore are top 8 picks.

Then, there are the trades that make too much sense:

Kieff for R. Anderson
Kieff for Sullinger/P. Jones/Young
Kieff for T. Gibson or Mirotic

Those are the most likely, right? Thankfully, for you all, I've run out of teams to come up with crazy trade ideas. I will be submitting these past 3 days of trade ideas to McD, so don't be surprised when one of these take place!! LOL!!

Terrico White would love to make the Suns’ roster since they’re a guard-oriented team and he believes he could do well there, but he understands that he’s auditioning for 29 other teams as well.

“My main focus is just getting on an NBA roster, whether it’s with Phoenix or another team,” White said. “If I do make the team in Phoenix, I think it’s a great fit and I feel like I could bring a whole lot since I’m still young but I also have experience too. … My agent, Daniel Hazan, was talking to different teams and Phoenix had a better plan for me than other teams, so we decided to go with the Suns.”
