Ryno played well in the first year and half for the Rockets. He got injured and was the subject of constant trade rumors. Probably got to him and shook his confidence. On a young Sun’s squad, he probably just doesn't care. Playing w/ Harden and Paul makes any player better let alone Ryno...
It’s sad we surround Harden with these scrubs and expect a ring. It’s a miracle he keeps carrying us to 50 plus wins every year
Going forward... Obviously, if there's a deal to be made you gotta consider most anything... o/w if we dont trade next years first, start capping the minutes on our starters and play a deeper rotation! Sounds crazy right? Here's the deal... Play a longer rotation and try to develop a couple guys (Clark maybe Hartenstein - along w House)... while also playing Knight, Rivers, GG... If we sneak into the playoffs rested and healthy - we got a punchers chance of beating anybody out there - including GSW - by then leaning heavily on our starters at that point... ...or we miss the playoffs and hope the ping pong balls bounce in our favor... Otoh if we limp into the playoffs banged up and tired - good things will not happen... idc about keeping some irrelevant playoff appearance streak alive just to get bumped out early... either put ourselves in a position to win it all - or pocket an asset (decent to good) first rd pick (if we dont barter it away beforehand)...
We miss the playoffs. . . .w.e need to look for the next BAckup PG In the playoffs anything goes Rocket River
I would prefer Zubac over Lopez! 7'1, quite mobile in running end to end, and runs the hard line to the rim. Put him in the PnR with Harden and he would be great. But Lopez would be better defensively I guess
