the nba could eliminate:

- Nuggets
- Jazz
- Suns
- Grizzlies
- Bucks
- Timberwolves
- Pistons
- Magic
- Pels
- Hornets
- Raptors
- Nets
- Pacers
- Thunder
- Kings

disperse their talent to the other 15 teams and you instantly have a better league, full of stacked teams that would produce the best most competitive basketball youve ever seen

You could eliminate half the league of any sport and it'd be more competitive. Why not just have two teams?

If y ou pretend that Brooklyn is going to get Capri Sun and orange slices after the game regardless, and a pizza party if they win, it makes watching them a lot more fun.

I dunno why the Suns would trade for Love at this point. He doesn't fit the timeline of the rest of the team and they'd still probably miss the playoffs.

The one thing I will say about Love's time with the Cavs is it has made the prospect of sitting through a game featuring him in Phoenix to be a much more pleasant idea than when there were rumors of him coming over to Phoenix from the Timberwolves.


You have to admit that this is the longest that Sarver has put up with a 1/4-1/2 empty building without a panic move for a player who doesn't really fit with the GM's plan to market around. The fact that he's been holding out this long is commendable.

Yeah I get that, but it seems like he finally got wise to the fact that those half assed moves are the reason they've had an empty building for years. Earlier this year he told season ticket holders that they plan on being a legitimate playoff team by 2020 and that they wouldn't be pursuing any big names this summer. Who knows.

I have honestly thought of buying Suns season tickets, if they had a bus like the Diamondbacks did I would probably.

I'd give up just about any player and pick for KP. If Booker were included it kind of puts the Suns right back where they were though, trying to build around one player unless one of Chriss/Bender/Warren really turns it up or something

I'm thrilled about the Suns core moving forward. Booker/Jackson/Chriss/Bender could be really fun in a couple years. Jackson should be a good fit next to Booker and cover some of his defensive issues.

I still cannot believe the Bulls sold Jordan Bell to GSW lol

I dunno. Chriss is a foul monster and Booker blows on D. I didn't even get to watch Bender play last year because he sucked or was injured. Jackson's probably going to go through growing pains on offense too. I wouldn't be surprised if they're a bottom picking team again next year.

Chriss got better at avoiding fouls as the season progressed, hopefully that continues. Bender is still a question mark for sure - Watson didn't play him much but if he puts on some weight he should see more time. He's still younger than like half the guys that got drafted last night.
