LMA to PHX is the best of the bad scenarios left. It may not be Houston but at least it isn't San Antonio.

PHX is making their move! Morris twins have split and I totally forgot Danny Granger was on the Suns! Are they actually confident about LMA? If LMA chooses them, I don't know what I would do. I think I know quite a bit about the NBA, but that move would totally question everything.
That cap clearing move by Phoenix did not include any key players. I think that is a risk that they are willing to take here.
I like the Suns, so if not the Rockets I'd want him to go there, but it just doesn't make any sense. How could he possibly like the Suns more than the Rockets?
I understand adding Tyson is intriguing, but does LMA really think Brandon Knight is going to get him to a ring?
This deal makes it seem like they have a verbal commitment, otherwise that move isn't defendable anyhow.
Aldridge to Phoenix is alright with me. It improves the Suns but not to the Rockets level, it weakens the Mavs, ruins Portland, and leaves San Antonio empty-handed.
