    its funny how some ppl blame scola for being mediocre if you dont remember scola is a champ he has won the olympics over the usa and countles tournaments in europe and international tournaments. The reason this team is where it is is bc yao and tmac are made of glass

    I was hoping he would get scooped up by a contender (anyone except Miami of course), but I wish him well. Scola is possibly the toughest player I've ever seen (mentally).

    Nash isn't that bad on D. He's a subpar defender but people watch him get crossed up by Rondo and assume he's the worst. He's not, watch tapes of Calderon or Gay during his first 3 years and Nash will look like Russel in comparison.

    Scola
    Channing Frye
    Beasley
    Markieff Morris
    Hakim Warrick

    Maybe they are trying to beat Morey in 'who can get more PFs'.

    Now that they are about to lose Grant Hill, Beasley will probably play SF. Markieff Morris is as talented as his brother so that means he is pine bound. Warrick has too many deficiencies so that leaves Frye spelling Gortat and Scola. All the Suns need is a SG and they will be dangerous.

    Dragic / Marshall
    SG???? (OJ Mayo?)
    Beasley / Childress
    Scola / Frye
    Gortat / Lopez

    i don't doubt they are getting Beasley to play 3, but that's silly in itself.

    they have amnestied Childress btw. Dudley is bound to be the main backup 3.

    you mean he was starting.

    they are looking for a starting 2, so he's (probably) going to lose that particular job.

    starting at 3 maybe?
    but i don't think they paid Beasley 18 mil with an intention of him being Dudley's backup for 16-18 minutes a game.

    I think their (planned) rotation will be something like
    PG Dragic-Marshall
    SG Mayo-Dudley
    SF Beasley-Dudley
    PF Scola-Frye
    C Gortat-Lopez

    But I don't rule out later changes, of course.
    That lineup will be very deficient defensively, slow, ball stopping. I think it will fail, and then they may adjust something.
    Like --- shopping Frye, using Beasley mainly as a backup at 4, giving Dudley most of the minutes at 3. That seems reasonable.
    It doesn't look like that's the current plan, though.
