Now we just need a Bledsoe knee injury to get that #10-14 pick.

hes not there to be moved. They overpaid him to literally sit on a couch, eat potato skins and be a player coach to the young suns.

We signed him at 31, hardly a ripe old player/coach age(veteran presence is completely different, and even still, there's an obligation to stay in shape).

I also didn't say thats why we signed him(to move as an asset), but we sure as hell couldn't with his pathetic effort.

I think showcasing monroe is a great idea, trace deadline looming. Might be able to instill a bit of attention towards him.

Man Bender is tissue soft, I really like the kid but he is going to have to find some type of fire inside or he is never going to be anything more than a spot up shooter.

Players really biting on Benders pump fakes now that they know he can shoot.

Bledsoe still playing that knock around ball. Injury waiting to happen. I said we shouldve traded him a year after the first injury, when he had value. We waited too long.....

He has played really well in the first half IMO.

We need to win this one.
They are clearly the better team WITH Anteto and Jabari, but without them this is a very winnable game.

For someone 30 lbs overweight. He could be a lot more productive if he were to be in shape. Instead we got shawn Kemp.

Jason Kidd said that Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo called him about 15 minutes before Kidd was officially notified he'd been fired by the Bucks and offered to help save his job.

"He called me and said, 'Coach, this isn't right what they're about to do, but (they) are gonna let you go.' "

Kidd says he told Antetokounmpo that "I had a feeling that was gonna take place."

To which Antetokounmpo replied, "'What can I do? I'll call the owners, I'll call my agent."

Kidd said he told him, "There's nothing you can do. All you can do is tell the truth. That's it."

Kidd said he thanked Antetokounmpo for his loyalty and that he was "thankful to be able to coach him and help him become the player he is today. And I know when our paths cross again, he'll be much better."

Kidd said he was officially informed he'd been fired about 15 minutes later when he met with general manager Jon Horst and team president Peter Feigin at a pizza restaurant.

Chriss and a 2nd rounder for Antetokounmpo.

At least Bender isn't settling for 3's.

but man he's really got to look to score once he puts the ball on the floor. Be a rim threat first, then the passing lanes will open up. clearly a mentality thing, hopefully the coaching staff works on this.
