Suns GM Ryan McDonough: 'Our roster balance is a little off' - CBSSports.com

 

[bksballer89]

Oh really? LOL

"We are a little too backcourt heavy, especially in terms of guys who, you know, I think you'd define primarily as scorers in the backcourt.

"So I think at some point we'll need to balance that out, try to get a little more size, a little more frontcourt scoring and rebounding."

You mean having every guy play the exact same position was a bad strategy??


The SUNS teams have been screwed nonstop for about 10 years of horrible management.
They have the worst ownership/management in all of the NBA.


Sterling was a cheap racist idiot.
But, he at least did not actively ruin rosters by sheer stupidity. He merely refused to improve it.


The moves the Suns have made since 2005 are staggeringly bad in totality.
The have good fans who deserve a little better.

Remember when Suns fans were saying how great this was going to work out for them?

Sheer stupidity might be a tad harsh. They do have some nice backcourt assets that, if they are smart (which remains to be seen) that they could trade to get some frontcourt help. It's going to be interesting to see what they do up to the trade deadline and in the off season.

There are going to be so many tweets and stories like this. It's also rumored that the Rockets are going to try and lure Jeremy Lin back.

I'd prefer that the Lakers don't trade for Dragic and just try to get him in FA. Trading for him will only likely cost them that potential top 5 pick.

The rumor mill is going to be fun from now until FA actually starts.

3 point guards. Genius they told us.

For the Lakers, he might be worth trading for if the Suns are going to try and keep Dragic. He'd improve them, but probably not enough to cost them that top 5 pick and he'd still be better than any point guard the Lakers have had since probably Nick Van Exel. Plus, he isn't likely to command a max deal, so it could leave more money for other FA's.

Other option would be to do nothing, wait until Dragic hits FA, offer him that max deal and see if the Suns blink.

After the AS game the trade rumors will heat up. Trade deadline is Thursday and no games until thursday.....4 days of hot rumors

Nuggets are having a firesale

 

[Demonjoe93]

I wonder if the Hawks will try to get bigger inside with a trade, or if they'll elect not to do so as to not risk chemistry.

Unless your trading draft picks or a player who never plays (as they did with Payne) I would not touch the roster. Should not move any of the key rotation players

I'm inclined to agree with that, although I do share concerns about our size as well. Our offensive rebounding is anemic.

I have a feeling warriors might do nothing but who knows. I still think they need another shooter and a backup big
