Kieff fell off his hoverboard on the way out of the arena.

And in typical douche fashion had his #FOE man-servent pick it up for him as he just walked off.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice that.

LOL. These players are so spoiled. Spoiled, crybaby divas.

Since the Morris era is now over, i feel like i can share these now:





This was minutes before the beatdown. #FOE (Felony's Over Everything) entourage taking up the back row.

Those have been out forever.

Kieff will do great at the Wiz. His reputation is much bigger than him. Still very happy to see him gone and see the Suns move to 2nd in tankathon rankings!

I wish wish we could have snagged DMo, knowing that Morey sold so low.

yup... would have been a little icing. But he is a FA next yr. Still, could have shown him some PHX hospitality and had a leg up. The kid is crafty.


'Houston, we have a problem' .... their woes look very familiar. Surprised at lack of changes they made. Difficult pieces to deal with.

Piling on here... character, selflessness and humility are SOOO important in building a team. This short clip epitomizes everything that WAS wrong with Suns. Seriously, dude pick up your own hover board! How could we expect them to be successful when questionable characters like this are leading the team?

One of the reasons I like Booker is because he seems like the opposite of Markieff. He seems like a good character guy who will work hard and humbly do what it takes to help a TEAM win.

There is still work to do and I have not been enamored with Bled or Knight. Warren never talks. Tucker has leadership qualities but has made some questionable decisions. Building character teams is one of the hardest things to do in the NBA, and I'm jealous that San Antonio and Golden State found the right players to fit together and play as a team.

Didn't ILWT post those? Or maybe he posted those on his Twitter.

Definitely on his twitter. I thought here too...maybe not.

[RaisingArizona]

Letsgo can change his sig now and finally relax!

[bwgood77]

:(


Kieff hopes and dreams smashed.

anyways, thanks PHX board for being awesome. Truly had a great time. Good luck to you for the rest of your season.

You're gonna thank us for being awesome and then at the end of it say good luck? As if to win good luck? GTFO here with that and good riddance!




Seriously though, it will be interesting to see how the Pistons mesh the rest of the year. I hope Tobias helps you guys out.

i hope so to, he's still pretty young, my biggest worry is that we have so many alpha dogs in the lockeroom it could get testy or it could help drive the team towards the contending goal.

I really like the DMO pick up, i am just concerned about his health.

Biggest concern however is continuity and being at 9th spot, we can't really afford to lose games because our guys are still learning to play together. Hopefully the increase in talent balances that out. I think history would say our board is in for a rude awakening.

I think if we had gotten Tobias Harris and D Mo, especially for the type of assets you guys gave up, a large part of our board would be super stoked.

lol, nope. It was a informer who everyone was trying to call bs on when he announced what happened. He sent me the pictures 2 days before it was announced, but i didnt realize that he already posted them on twitter months back until just now.

**EDIT - Yes! I forgot that his twitter handle and RealGM handle were different. It was ILWT, but he only released them on twitter months ago.

Yeah, I thought I saw them on his twitter before but I was looking at it more recently and they are still there in his pics.

Did you turn up the volume? I think the guy asked him how he felt and he said he was pumped.

Ok, i am happy that kief is gone. But who do you guys think is playing starting PF now? I don't hope tele. But who else. Leuer didn't play a role unter Watson. I see a big Problem next year. I don't think that we will get the 1st Pick to get Simmons. And another PF of the draft isn't ready for a starting job i think. I wish we have luck and can get a D-league steal like Whiteside

They announced PJ Tucker will be our long term starting PF. He will sign a 5 year deal this summer.

I will call for McD's head if that happens Jk but still not cool to suggest he'd do that

look at that **** stain on the wall. they should really clean that up.

[HootieRules]

“Today we added another first-round pick to our collection of picks while keeping our young core intact,” said Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough. “We are excited to watch this group of players continue to develop and grow together.”

Somebody tell this dude you can't throw out the word "core" when the "core" changes every single year.

Yeah. That's the thing, if Houston wasn't willing to include a 1st (and they likely weren't), we could've just signed them. Houston couldn't match both DMo and Jones. DMo obviously will get matched by Detroit. Jones though still may be TBD given Houston's cap situation and insistence on getting stars.

[Sunsdeuce]

Without some crazy scenario where we get a superstar, with the young guys (if they stay the course (whatever that is)) this team is about 3-4 years from competing. That's about when Bledsoe's (my Bledsoe hate aside) contract expires and Knight's will have a year left. So basically decisions need to be made on both of them.

And Chandler's as well.

[Sunsdeuce]

BTW, with this years draft picks. I want us to not trade our pick or Washington's pick. I'm all good trading away the Cavs pick because it basically has no value.

I'd rather this year just draft best available since they are both good picks and possibly one may be a franchise player.
