Season Speculation, Trade Ideas & Discussion 2: End This Knightmare!

Brandon Knight is actually playing better than I expected.

Per 36 since December: 19 points, 4 assists @ 108 O-Rating.

If the aim is to trade him, those stats are deserving of a 1st.

I hope you are right. The turnovers and non passing too much is what drives me crazy at times.

Over the last 15 games the Suns have #6 offense in the league (110.2 OffRtg).

Our defense leaves a lot to be desired, considering we went 1-5 in those games with the win coming down to a buzzer beater.

He was caught stealing out of a coworkers bag or something. Got fired.

I think he was going through the desks of co-workers when others had gone home. I had thought it had to do with stealing info rather than physical items but I could be mistaken.

Yea, somehow I don't see Paul Coro Rex Chapmaning his co-workers desk...

I don't think any of us imagined something like this but it's come from a couple of different sources and it fits the way this all went down. But who knows?

I think he just meant to agree with you that he didn't steal physical items like Chapman did.

Read on Twitter

Damn, the LA Times.

That's a pretty big step up for Paul.

Happy for him.

Maybe but I didn't envision him doing either, caught me quite by surprise. Same with Rexy although I had heard whispers about his addiction. Still, I just saw Rex a week ago doing that talking head thing on one of the basketball shows so it's no surprise that Coro, even with the baggage, has so quickly landed a new gig.

I think it's crazy that he did tbh. I've worked for newspapers and magazines for many years and I wouldn't know anyone that would hire someone stealing stories and info from other journalists. Not to mention having someone like that around your editorial team.
I'd always give an addict a second chance but someone like him (if guilty of the rumor)...no way.

Coro's been a reporter for a long time, and by all accounts he's a well-liked consummate professional. I can't believe he'd suddenly short-circuit and do something as dumb as stealing from another reporter.

I wasn't aware Coro was this popular with you guys. I'm not sure I would care about a reporter.

I didn't like him that much. Just an ordinary reporter to me.

It's coming from one source as far as I know.

So.. last night, after Devin Booker's game winner, Earl Watson and Demarcus Cousins exchanged some words. It was very strange. I see the word "trade" but unclear with what he says.

Twice allowing over 110

They dont play defense.

I'm sure the LA Times would look into that as well. Why would they hire someone if he had such a significant reason for being fired.

Booker said the same thing. They cannot get a stop to save their lives.

I think Watson says "We need ya" after that. Not sure though, could be reaching.
