GM of the year there. Unbelievable they got that for him, and the Rockets couldn't even get Trey Burke for Ty Lawson (with a NON GUARANTEED deal). Just tells you how much he's fallen off a cliff.

The guy is radioactive right now, so I agree with the confusion over why a draft pick needed to be included.
Good move for the Suns. Getting a first rounder was all they wanted for Markieff - we'll see how the protection is but this is a pick in the early teens
How can you swallow all this bull**** and not choke on it? The situation in Phoenix was toxic for him, the way they treat their players is absolutely disgusting. Kieff will thrive in a normal situation.
Not exactly, if Detroit is worse than Washington at the end of the season then Piston's pick is better to own, we shall see.
Well, some of you guys are complete idiots. DMO is a RFA after this year, while Morris still under contracts for another 2 years with 8 mils per. And somehow this was never considered.
Is he getting into fights with anyone? Has it been reported that he's unhappy with how Miami's treating him? His team is doing pretty well also. They'd do even better if they'd man up and make Wade a sixth man. But that's not going to happen in this league where Kobe's posting the worst efg% of all time and is allowed all the freedom and minutes he wants. It's not all about individual stats you know, those are great if you're a 12 year old looking to idolise some players. When it comes to actual basketball, individual stats should be taken with context. Kind of like if you go by stats alone Harden is having a great season, but if you watch the games you see he's sacrificing team success for his those stats, and if you go deeper you'll notice that the offensive and defensive systems are set up so Harden can get his stats. Also Dragič is a great example of Phoenix mistreating players, they had a good core with him and Bledsoe, they were on the cusp of beoming a playoff team and what they did was trade for another high usage point guard who in no way fitted their team.
