BK is playing really well!

Book is jawing too which means he's locked in. Likey.

Booker is going to be an allstar in the foreseeable future. He has a lot of confidence with his offense.

Good for my fantasy team too.

Anyone else watch games with LP? That Bank of America commercial is the most annoying thing ever.

Those stuck balls should be worth like 4 points. That's hard to do.

There is zero chance it's more disappointing than the Southwest "Yeah yeah yeah" commercial.

I can see why Suns fans are sick of him, though. If they are tired of his act and want to trade him then the Rockets will do them a favor and take him off of their hands. They'll owe us, but I'm willing to step up and do them a solid.

The way I see with the Suns roster right now is that there's a lot of talent. But there's truly not one consistent facilitator to run their offense. Still a close game!

I'm sure we can start with a package involving Corey Brewer.... :D

I am willing to give up Corey Brewer in order to do the Suns this favor. :)

I'm trying to figure out what they need to click. So much talent here. They aren't close to playoff contention as constructed now; but yeah - feels like things could change with one solid facilitator. Too much youth & talent.

Like having to give up Jeremy Lamb for Harden? Can't believe he already has 11 assists. Westbrook just had 22 against us.

We should be able to get a good PG in the upcoming draft. Ulis could facilitate some too.

Too much Brandon Knight and PJ Tucker. Too little Ulis and Bender. I don't even mind Tucker, just not at the volume he plays right now.

Right now, what is the absolute core of this team? This does not feel like an "anyone can go at any time" situation.

Obviously Booker isn't going anywhere, but who else joins him as the absolute core of this young team?

edit - but Houston will take him, if you want to move him. Just saying...
