Cut Peters or House, and give Shaq a contact. He is miles better, our best defensive guard by far

It pisses me off that Davon Reed gets limited minutes at this point of the season. He’s not shooting the ball well but is playing smart and playing good defense. Suns need to know what they have in him.

They don't need to cut anyone to sign him the rest of the yr. I assume he stays and is brought back next yr.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Good to see Bender with a couple drives today. Marvin is sticking to him off ball, they definitely know he's all catch and shoot right now. That strip is exactly why it's not a consistent thing though, he's still not a very good ball handler.

Of course he's another guy who can't hit the 3. Like 21% from 3 over 4 years of college. A little better in the G league...a little over 30%. If he could hit a 3 he definitely looks like he should be a keeper.

Yeah, it was nice to see him try that drive even though it resulted in a turnover. For him to get shots he is now going to have to be a bit more selfish since Elfrid often ignores him now and he has to get it from someone else.

Bender plays better with Ulis. Payton just ignores him. Ulis gets him involved.

I think they need to sit Booker more and force Bender and Chriss to carry the offense more, see if it will awaken the sleeping "talent" inside. When these 2 have no one else to bail them out of the burden and the team ask them to step up.... maybe something will wake up inside and boost their confidence... but thats wishing lol

All we need is a center, power forward, and a point guard and we're set.
