We still need DJ to Mavs to weaken the Clips and prevent Cuban/Mavs/Fegan from trying to steal Dwight from us next summer.
Bledsoe, Knight, Morris, Aldridge, and Chandler isn't a bad lineup. It's not as good as the Spurs next year, but you could make a case it will be beyond that once Duncan and Parker are too broken down and old to keep playing at an All-Star level. Plus he doesn't have to play center since the Suns have the position taken care of. And Phoenix has some valuable assets in those Heat picks they got in the Dragic deal. I do think he was probably better off all along staying in Portland, but if he was hellbent on getting out of there and getting max money from another team, the Suns don't look like such a joke right about now.
Hibbert david lee and lopez still on the market. They wont leave completely empty handed. Eso lee gsw will want to send him somewhere good not la. But i cant believe knight wilk bring lma to phoenix. Cant.

I guess you didn't see those Suns games where DMo wrecked the Suns frontcourt single handedly? No one on the Suns could stop him.
Knight/Bledsoe/PJ Tucker/LMA/Chandler thats not a bad starting lineup at all problem is I don't see that team being any better than Portland last year Lillard/Mathews/Batum/LMA/Rolo
well howard beats chandler and harden beats bledsoe big time bev (presumably he returns if lma doesnt come here) contains knight and dmo playy at 75% of lma's level on top of that you have a defender like ariza, and really, we're a pretty clear cut winner 4 out of 4 times
Most likely its a gesture to show commitment to lma. And show to fans who were VERY UNHAPPY that they do everything to get a star.
It's embarrassing that you are trying to defend a really stupid comment like that. The only thing Markieff has over DMo is playing time. per 36 DMo scores more, rebounds more, and gets more blocks, all while being a better 3 point shooter and having a MUCH better post game. Literally the only thing Markieff does better than DMo is shooting FT's.
Yeah, Aldridge must've really wanted the hell outta Portland if he winds up choosing Phoenix. He'll wind up with less money in at best an identical situation.
Don't forget Tucker, who's been one of Hardens best defenders. PG: Bledsoe / Thornton SG: Knight / Booker SF: Tucker / Warren PF: Aldridge / Markieff C : Chandler / Len Really solid team young team.
Suns give up a 2020 2nd round pick to dump contracts. Kings give up a 2018 protected 1st round pick and 1st round pick swaps in 2016 & 2017 A tale of two franchises.
