I like how he slid the "I believe" in there. It's all his opinion he doesn't know jack.


I like this response to his first tweet about not having cap space...

Here is an idea I haven't heard. Isnt signing Russell a mechanism to force improved defense for Booker?

Like, we will sign your boy but you need to drastically improve your defense to make this work. Russell has a better DRPM than either Lillard or CJ. The reason you dont pair him next to Booker isnt because they are both bad defenders, it's that Booker has been awful and Russell is just average.

He said something that while I'm sure some won't like is correct. You can't let past failures impact making sound decisions moving forward. You have to work in the present.

He believes he's not an option because he has negatives? Then he rattles off Corey Joseph and Collison as "fits". Sigh.

I really feel sorry for my man D'Antoni.

1st - he had a fantastic team in Phoenix until Kerr and Sarver did nothing to make it better
2nd - he had something really nice brewing in New York until Dolan traded for Melo
3rd - even in spite of Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard and Magic Johnson - Dr Buss saw the light in LA - Unfortunately Jerry died
4th - He had quite the thing going in Houston until Morey - decided to add CP3 and Melo - now he has fired all the coaches and is stuck with CP3.

I wonder if it was CP3's suggestion to fire the coaches.

If Morey can pull off CP3 to the Lakers somehow - he will start to make amends.

Mike deserves better.

Not surprised about Chris Paul at all. He’s always been the biggest bitch in the league.

Its obvious he is all over the map with these tweets and many fans are just bringing up facts about why they don't make sense. One tweet, they want to clear cap with Warren and Jackson, or 17+ m

Another tweet - they don't have the cap space for Russell

Correct me if I am wrong but 9 + 17 = 26

If the guy is the wrong fit, if they want multiple players (which I have advocated in the past too -meaning PG, PF and maybe a shooter) - thats fine. But just this BS he is spinning - more annoying.

The funniest was how hard Gambo shot down the Kyler Murray to the Cardinals and Josh Rosen being traded. Why anyone pays attention to him is beyond me.

Probably because having sources with the Suns isn’t the same thing as having sources with the Cardinals, and he’s been breaking Suns news since Shams was in high school. It’s no worse than paying attention to random twitter accounts and people like Ashley Nevel.

Didn’t she just say like yesterday that the Suns are being very secretive?

This era of “insiders” is a complete joke!

Gambo: “Suns are selecting Donte divincenzo“ (followed by a quick delete). Gambo is a clown and that girl is probably even worse.

I like him too. The next month will really be the tell tail factor. Personally I'm more interested in smart moves than the splashy ones.

Mainly I'd really like to look at this roster in September and say 'yeah this makes sense with pieces that fit'. It's been years since I've been able to do that.

So basically Boston is going to have to do a little youth movement rebuild. Life comes at you fast.

Are we really giving a $30-40m contract to a guy that's played 13 games for us?

That would be a good signing. They would need to clear a little space to make it happen because I think they only have about 17 mil right now.

Brook Lopez would also be a good fit.
