Philly sits Noel for the season. Suns trade Gortat and Shannon Brown for corpses and picks. Your move, Philly.
Kendall Marshall is legit, sucks he won't get PT behind wall and beal. John Wall Bradley Beal Otto Porter Nene Marcin Gortat Bench Martell Webster Trevor Ariza Al Harrington Eric Maynor Kendall Marshall Trevor Booker Chris Singleton Kevin Seraphin Jan Vesely This team is loaded with talent, that is something they haven't been able to say in a long long time. How that talent meshes is an entirely different story but the talent to be a playoff team is there with the potential to maybe have the best backcourt in the league
Suns are pretty good at tanking, remember when they almost won that game last season against us and then O'neal helped them out? They are going to miss that guy, he was a good tank commander.
@WojYahooNBA: Draft pick will be protected thru no. 12. Suns own four picks in loaded 2014 first-round. m.twitter.com/WojYahooNBA
@WojYahooNBA: Washington gets a healthy center in Gortat to make playoffs and Suns have an incredible haul with which to rebuild through the 2014 draft.
Well, this is semi good news for the rockets. With Gortat off the market, Asik's price tag probably just went up because of supply and demand. So if we do intend to trade him by the deadline, all the teams looking for a good center will have really no other choice but to try and get Asik.
Love this move for the Suns. They will have FOUR first round picks in quite possibly the most talented draft class since 1996. Bledsoe and Len can play and develop without too much pressure. Wizards wont be good as defensively with Gortat as their starting center. But Okafor wasnt healthy anyway
kendall marshall is a pass first pg those dont exist anymore. He'd kill in a d'antoni run n gun system.
