    Draft is not the only way to build a contender. Ask Morey and Larry Bird.

    You only told 50% of the story. He needs the draft to gather assets, develop role players...... and if lucky get a star out of the draft.

    He wasn't lucky so far otherwise Royce White would not have happened.

    He maximized his opportunities to strike it big. The top of this class potentially has multiple franchise players. We aren't talking about the 2009 draft class here.

    Suns are about to be 17-10 and we are about to be 18-11 one more win for the suns and they have the same record as the rockets plus they beat the rockets,so they will move ahead of the rockets in the standings.

    You do? You honestly heard that about last years draft? I dont remember hearing that about a draft in a very long while. This upcoming draft is one that scouts have been anticipating for a very long time. Maybe you should get your facts straight.

    I don't know what is going on over there but it seems Hornacek has guys buying into his system and doing what they need to do to win with inferior talent. Awesome for them!

    When will Morey fire Mchale and get a coach that can get our players to buy into his system and win with our talent that is better then the suns?

    percentage points alone puts them ahead.

    17-10= .630
    18-11= .621

    I was worried about them gaining on us last week in the midst of their 5 game streak.

    they have now won 8 of their last 9 with their only loss in that stretch to the Spurs.

    Already surpassed us in the standings. So yeah, I'd say it's time.

    It's safe to say they'll be in the playoffs.

    Man they really need to take any of the top power forwards available in this draft. Plummlee is a solid center and with Bledsoe dragic and Jabari that'd be a scary team

    Is it time to take the Suns seriously?

    Depends on what is meant. Title contenders? No. Playoff contention? Yes.

    On this note, I am not sure the Rockets are title contenders either.
