    He won’t. He’ll play as much 5 as Tucker did during the season.

    Knight is an even worse defender than Ryan Anderson and he offers less to the offense as well. Ryan Anderson was worthless, Brandon Knight would have to get better to be merely worthless.

    Pipe Dream: Later in the season, we trade Knight and Chriss for Butler. :D

    Knight if healthy is a beast but the issue is is he is never healthy. Chris’s is the main piece

    Chriss can run the PnR with Harden or Paul when Capela sits. He also has range so he's just not limited to buckets around the basket. I'll say it again: You thought Harden did wonders for Capela just wait and see what he'll do with Chriss.

    There was/is nothing in that sorryass Suns organization that gave off a developmental vibe. That's why they overpaid for Ariza to get some professionalism and veteran leadership in the building.

    Yea just looked it up. You know that the year they fired mchale right 11 games in the season. N finished the season 41 n 41. Its was a **** load of turmoil n the media was on harden hard for get mchale "fired" not saying it was right but he got a **** load of blame n he kind of laid down that year. So u are wrong. Like i said it was a rehabilitation year after that. So u hadto over play to get floor spacing t

    All Morey needed to do to get rid of Anderson was make a good pick in the 2nd round. What a beast.

    You'd rather have 1 22 million dollar player that doesn't play? We're win now. Easier to trade 2 smaller contracts than 1 big one that no one wants. I don't see Knight and Chriss being on the roster come march. Morey doesnt end in August.... he keeps playing till the deadline. Don't get too caught up in the short run.

    You can’t be serious right?. When has Bobby Brown ever averaged 17 ppg 5 apg 2-3 seasons in a row?.

    This dude has talent, injuries have plagued him. He can be good off the bench and he’s great insurance

    Always think Chriss can be our Amare Stoudamire under MDA. Thought this is a mission impossible as we do not have the talents that the suns want.

    And now they just want ****ing flying Anderson and an unproved second round pick? Morey the magician!

    Yeah, he ruined Dallas for YEARS with that Jedi mind trick (I will match any offer - Cuban backs up the brinks truck and gives him a no trade clause - Morey says job done!)

    Isn't it great to have the best GM in the league? Morey pulls a rabbit out of a hat, and then that rabbit is wearing a hat and Morey pulls another rabbit out of that one. Blows my mind.

    Nobody outworks Morey, he's constantly poking and prodding the league, on the prowl... guaranteed that he's already talking to people about hypothetical trade deadline deals. "If X happens, then what about this deal" Probably also spreading mis-information too, acting like he's interested in guys that he's really not.

    When Morey retires, I want the Rockets to set up the Morey GM-idential Library where we could read through all his paperwork, listen to recorded trade negotiations and get his tips & tricks on how he operated.

    @Codman, will your book be anything like this?
