I don't know how you think he made us better when we were winning 1 of 3 games before him and 1 of 19 with him. Who cares how many assists a guy gets? I know you are big on his triple doubles and assists. Like I said, he's fine for a 5th guard. I don't think he's nearly as good as you do though. Glad you're happy to have him though.
Because we actually had someone who could run the offense and pass the ball? There are so many ways that the team could get better while still losing games. Big on triple doubles? Isn't everyone in the league big on triple doubles? It is extremely hard to do. If you look at the list, it is filled with HOF players. Chris Paul is a great player and he only has 16. And yes, assists are big for anyone who is evaluating a starting pg. :roll: I think we are done here. :lol:

You fight the weirdest battles.

Proceed.


Was thinking this early. Expending injury on liking Payton and hating Shamet. Very strange indeed. Then the emoticons laughing when not one person really agrees with him, particularly on Shamet. While no one minds the Payton signing given he is 3rd string, to hitch so much energy on proving how good he is, yes, is quite comical.

More insults, how nice.
I don't hate Shamet, so please stop spreading lies about what I think, thank you. I have a ton of energy, and Payton's career speaks for itself.

So no one here thinks getting 17 triple doubles is extremely rare and special for a 26 yr old? "Not one person"? Or not one person thinks that that the stats are true about Shamet? Your hyperbole is comical, and also false.

Make sure you warn yourself about suspension about repetitively trolling posters, and telling lies about what they have said and insult them.

In the future, if you want to lie about me, please do it through pms not to derail a thread.

Jae Crowder is loving the valley and the beautiful women it’s got lol.



Sports stars should avoid women who post stuff like that... its a RED flag.

And thought Crowder was married with kids.

Anycase, must avoid gold diggers and socialite wannabes...

Somehow I doubt she actually received a message.

But if she did and we're taking bets, my money is on Frank.

Frank doesn't message women. Women message Frank.

I don't like excuses, particularly when we had our fair share of luck with other team injuries throughout. Unfortunate, yes, but it happens. Bucks were also missing a solid starter in DiVincenzo.


It's called PEDs.


Oh, those heal people faster? They should legalize them for that purpose then.

Pretty sure that, yes, there are PEDs that are banned that function to heal, or at least hide injuries and allow a player to perform unlike they'd naturally be able to perform. I, personally, think that PEDs shouldn't be illegal in professional sports, especially if they don't come with an imminent threat to health complications. A lot of players use them and just don't get caught, some do get caught. There is little doubt in my mind that Giannis was on something to make his body perform temporarily after that horrific knee injury. There's also no way the NBA would test him and ruin a narrative of him returning to dominate the Finals.

Ha, I don't dislike Shamet at all. I am sure he is a fine person with good morals. I have no problem with him being a Sun, and will root for him to play well. I didn't like how he was acquired, and the need using the assets used. Thought those assets could be used in another trade (or developed here) that could have improved our starting line up.

Not a fan of the #14, but wouldn't mind if someone bought me a new Valley jersey, even if the player on it only plays for one year. :wink:

Clipper's Big 3 > Lakers Big 3
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Back to where he started, and likely a backup once again.

Multiple sources tell me the Nets have rescinded their qualifying offer to Reggie Perry.

Reggie Perry is a very solid 6'10 250 lbs. He's an elite rebounder with above average playmaking skills. IF not adding Kyle Alexander, Then adding Perry on our other two way would be a very solid move. He's a just another big strong rebounding 4/5.

Since PatBev is no longer a member of an LA team, does that mean he gets suspended for more than 1 game now?

I can’t think of one good excuse for not having both our 2-way spots filled for the second year in a row.

Didn’t you have Perry in your sites last year GoK? Well, to be honest, nary a draft stone was unturned. ... but you are Ed McMannish correct sir.

here is a great opportunity to get some real size at PF. Pull the trigger Jones. Else I’m suspecting you’re getting some shank on the side. :eyebrows: :eyebrows:
