ULIS ULIS ULIS ULIS ULIS PLEASE

We'd have a 3 guard rotation set for the next 5-10 years. Ulis is a starting PG in this league, and would be a fantastic 6th man once Frank develops. Anybody that was not watching him the last 2 months missed out. Dude is a pure PG, plays very good defense, and is a real player in this league.


Which is most likely why PHX is okay with moving Bledsoe.


Maybe. Not sure how highly the Suns view him. I definitely think he's going to be a VERY good PG in this league. He's quick, makes quick decisions with the ball, crafty playmaker, good defender, elite handle... If he was 6'2, we'd act like he was the next star PG in this league. He's not IT or Nate on D

Size only hurts you if you're a poor defender. Lets not act like Ulis wasn't the SEC Defensive player of the year and dropped like 18/9 the last 2 months of the season.

You basically are hyping him up to be the back up. Knicks just gave Baker 4.5 million to be that. Stop it bro. He is not wanted by the Knicks. To damn Small.

He'd start for us until Frank develops. Ulis started the last 6-8 weeks of the season. Not like he can't start. And Baker is a 2 guard man. He not a PG at all. Same reason why we're going after Bledsoe. We still are going after a starting PG. Baker is a good 4th guard

Short term he's your starting PG. Long term he's your 6th man. Baker is not a 6th man nor is he really a PG. He's a poor mans Delladova now who has potential to be Delly.

My dude you still saying the same thing. HE WILL BE A BACK UP. That will be his long term role. He damn sure won't be the starter over frank. Dude is a seat warmer.... You hyping him like he will be some stud starter for us and he won't be.

Second of all. Knicks paid Baker 4.5 million and he WILL plays PG alot. We have no one else. It dont matter what Baker is...Its obvious the Knicks view him different.


Stop hyping a cat who will be a back up for us.

At three teams, it's already a puzzle to fit all the moving parts together. Speculating a four team trade with more than one potential fourth teams is like Rubix Cube level ish.

Fam, you know I'm a Ulis stan. Why you gotta ruin my dreams like this? :lol:

It's obvious we're looking for starting PG's still in the interim. Wouldn't you rather have a potential core piece than a vet? We know Horny loves multiple PG lineups, so a 3 guard rotation of Frank/Ulis/THJ can definitely work.

You start him in the short term, move him to the 6th man role in the long term. Baker is making 4.5 million, but I genuinely believe that's as a backup 2 guard. The fact that we're going after Bledsoe shows that we are still in market for PG. Would you prefer us go after Bledsoe at 27 or Ulis at 21?
