And we had their first round pick this year top 12 protected. If that Minnesota and LA pick both pan out for the teams we traded them to, that would hurt.

I don't think the Wolves will get out of the bottom 12, but damn, they were beating the Hawks by 30 at halftime...the Hawks were like 7-1 going into the game. The Hawks made a run in the second half, but the Wolves hung on.

I remember i said it last season that Minnesota has a better future than us and that nobody in their right mind would want the Suns over their's and multiple people here said they would take the Suns roster over Minnesota's....need less to say, most of those posters no longer post here

Until they actually do something....

We've seen the Wolves rebuild, from scratch, multiple times. They have good young players now and you could argue this is the best rebuilding core they've ever had but until they show they can do something with that roster, they will be who they have been.

Marcus has gotten better defensively too which is the real surprise. Playing under Van Gundy has really improved him.

Surprised you are watching that over the football game...got screwed on our last score...anyway, Marcus had some GREAT games for us. I don't know if he's better than Markieff. I imagine they are exactly the same in the end.

Lol yea I was watching the score on my phone at the end there, not really surprised. Chargers on MNF = guaranteed choke job

I don't even have to click those. I can remember all of them...that Texans loss to start the season, and blowing that huge lead against the Broncos were especially painful. And the other three were extremely close. That Steelers game was brutal. We have lost a few this year that came down to the last play in the game.

I disagree. I really don't think we can say after 6 games (or however many games he's played with the Pistons) that he's better than Markieff, after we've watched him play almost 200 games. Not to say he can't get better but I feel like we have a pretty good idea on what Markieff can bring and what Mook can bring. I still think Kieff is the better player. Mook has been playing close to 40mpg with Detroit but if you look at his per36 production, it's pretty comparable to last season except for his FTA's which has increased two folds.

Wait a minute, a player leaves the Suns, and their free throw attempts increase dramatically?

Former Suns PG Tyler Ennis is starting for the Bucks tonight.

I honestly don't see what Ryan McDonough saw in him to draft him with a 1st rd pick...may end up being worse than Kendall Marshall.

Did you see his stats? No wonder McD gave him away for pretty much nothing. How about Dragic tonight against the Lakers? :lol:

He didn't see anything. He picked him because he wanted to flip the kid to the Raptors because he was a Canadian player they were interested in drafting, but the Raptors didn't bite on that stupid plan so he just wasted a pick.

Out of McD's mistakes, the Ennis pick is the only one that actually makes me angry. He thought he was smart, but fell flat on his face. We missed out on Hood, Capela, and even McGary.

Dragic's apparently dealing with some serious family issues

deb wrote:Supposedly there were complication with the birth of his second child. His wife is only now joining him in Florida with their children, he's been apart from his family since the start of the training camp...

I honestly wish him the best and hope the family issues get solved and he goes back to focusing on just basketball.

The Kings seem like such a terrible organization. Asking players at a meeting if they want the coach fired.

http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2015/11/kings-ask-players-if-team-should-fire-george-karl.html

Btw, for anyone interested in Cousins, keep in mind that he is now on his fifth coach in his sixth season and it looks like Karl might be fired too. If that happens, that would be six different coaches in six years. Take that into account with his numerous psychotic outbursts and ejections during games. Plus he has never led the Kings to more than 29 wins in a season and the Kings are 1-7 right now. I know he has been injured but they are 1-3 in games he played, including a blowout loss to the Spurs at home where he shot 5-20. I want no part of him. There is nothing he does that leads me to believe he would turn the Suns around. Six years in the league is enough time to know what kind of person he is and he just cannot get along with coaches and has not proven he can win at this level.

I think everyone who wants him is praying that Bledsoe is the Boogie-whisperer.

If Kerrsed still posted here, I'd imagine this would be a pretty memorable poster mockup of this.

Marcus Morris is #2 in minutes played this season.

Goran Dragic has been bad. I thought him and Bosh would be perfect together.

He's unguardable right now.

^Wow. Why hasn't he seen his family?
On another note. There are 24 teams that are at least 1 game of being .500. This is probably the most balanced the league has been in while.
The teams that aren't at least 1 game of .500 are Nets, Sixers, Lakers, Kings, GRIZZLIES, & PELICANS. The West is so damn stacked.

Andre Miller and Lavine was on him... its like Wolves were daring him to hog the shots.... it worked, sadly Warriors team just function like they have 1 brain.... its like playing NBA 2K, where you have 5 players but 1 brain controlling them, getting the ball to the exact person at the exact time you want them to.

Too many players today hold onto the ball too long... chemistry and ball movement is key for the modern game.
