Disagree big time. Riddles are fun. Go read a paper. This is clutchfans, where bored rockets fans come to waste time at work.
Agreed. Even if you disagree, he's a better fit no doubt. Having a guard rotation of harden dragic bev would be insane
You are way oversold on Johnson after a Summer League performance. You're setting yourself for the same disappointment that people feel every year once the real season starts.
The Suns ARE looking to win now. Their GM recently said that he's expecting the Suns not just to make the playoffs but also to advance further in the playoffs next year. You don't make this kind of declarations and then trade face of your franchise, All-NBA point guard for middling prospects and a pick. Jones or D-Mo wouldn't even start in Phoenix and the Pelicans pick is highly unlikely to be higher than #12 IMO. That's nowhere near enough for them to part with Goran. "The blow-up" phase is over in Phoenix. They
I agree with phoenix wanting to win now. But I do think Tjones will start. T jones would be their best option at PF. T jones is a great player. But right now we have a Glaring hole at the pg position. The hole is so big you could fit a house through it. We are going to have to give up something and we can not be opposed to that. The post is occupied by Dwight. If the ball goes anywhere in the paint it will go to Dwight. We just need a solid role player next to him at pf and we can and will get that. It won't be difficult to replace him. It is alot harder to get someone with Dragic or Bledsoe's caliber on our team. There is a method to Morey's madness. I guarantee it.
I think the complete opposite in that TJ has the higher ceiling over DMO. But I would still trade TJ as part of a package to get a real PG if the rockets had to.
Don't forget Daniels. I love the diversity of skills between Bev, Harden, Dragic, and Daniels. Our small ball would absolutely kill it. Tons of shooting, playmaking, and a bit of defense in that group. Beverley moves to the 2nd team, which should push down his asking price a little next summer. Even if he get's a big offer, you can choose to let him walk if Nick Johnson develops into a good player. Our guard and center rotations would both be at a championship caliber level. The major questions on this team would be at PF and backup wing, but you would still have DMo and some other options. If you can get Dragic for TJones, NOP 1st and Canaan, you do it 100 times out of 100.
I know a lot of us have donated and have not been upgraded to "contributing member". If there is a minimum amount that needs to be donated to be upgraded I would love to know.
What makes you think there's not a lot of that going on right now.... That would just give us more of a reason. T_Man
No way the suns are looking to win now. The suns gm comes from the celtics tree, and all of those guys know what it takes to win. Anyone who thinks the suns can "win now" in the west with dragic and Bledsoe leading the way, should get their head examined
Agreed. I think they're trying to keep the young talent around and then shoot onto the scene in a couple years when less teams in the West are shooting for contention. The past couple years is the strongest the West has been in a while so I think they're trying to accumulate assets and young players to contend when that dies down a little. They're set up to have the most to trade for a star and even more so if they were to trade away Dragic now for TJ and the Pellies pick and whatever else.
