The owner shouldn't even factor in it, holy crap Saver is a piece of ****.

So hard to focus at work....I just keep refreshing this page and checking my phone for Woj bombs.

I know it's unlikely anything big happens until the draft is actually happening....but still can't help it!

I've always hated the Bender/KP comparisons because they are completely different players. But even I, for a second, was kind of thinking the same way until I really thought about it more, and then when I saw this post it clarified it. Bender's bbiq is very high. I don't know if you listened to the Vecenie podcast, which is definitely worth a listen (last post in podcast thread) but it mentioned how we were better offensively and defensively when he as on the floor.


Perhaps my biggest concern about Bender has to do with his playing time. He gets very little of it, here and abroad. We justify this and the justifications all sound reasonable but I can't quite forget that strange Watson interview last December (?) that made it sound like there might be a real issue with this kid. It led to speculation or rumors about his talent level and his work ethic on one side and from the Bender supporters it led to accusations that Earl didn't like Euro players or white guys or whatever but still, it's a little bit of smoke that has me looking for the flames. It may mean absolutely nothing but that just makes a weird interview even weirder. But then again, it was Watson.


Please don't make up strange things like this unless you have a link to an interview or something. This is how terrible rumors get started. I read this everything posted here and I don't recall that and I'm sure it would have been something that was discussed had it happened. If you think maybe I simply forget, please link to interview.


Well, gee, thanks for that. I don't make stuff up and I don't appreciate the accusation. I may have interpreted it differently than you but I found out about it in a thread on this forum and I followed a link from here to listen to it myself. I'm talking about the conversation that Watson had about trading a high pick. If you recall, there was a lot of speculation generated from that interview including the accusation that it had to be because Watson didn't like white guys or white Euro guys.

This. Beware of sources with zero track record flinging spaghetti at the wall, hoping to make their name off a single trade or free agent move.

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

Chad Ford just told Bickley that Jackson and the Knicks have "painted themselves into a corner" with Porzingis and he does not know how they can bring KP back.

Same thing they said about Kobe in 2005 or 06..... "I'd rather play on Pluto."

We love Jackson's athleticism and playmaking, however, I love Tatum offensive arsenal and free throw shooting and character more.

I think jackson is a great fit for the suns but in a vacuum like say i was drafting for an expansion team i think both isasc and tatum are better prospects.

I get a sf marcus smart vibe from Jackson that scares me a little.
