    this is a good idea, we do need some more toughness and Taj can hit the 3 if wide open (hit like 3 against us the last gm)

    As much as I dislike his father, he's a really solid defensive player that can get streaky. I wouldn't mind getting him

    Wait just a f***ing minute...

    So the Suns wanted a PG to move Booker off-ball...

    So the intended original trade was for a combo guard in Rivers who can play a bit of PG, Wayne Selden who's a 2guard on an expiring deal (most likely a throw in for the money to work) and Dillon Brooks who's a small forward on a cheap team friendly deal.

    Instead they agreed to a deal that had the guy they chose to send to the Grizz for Selden/DBrooks instead come their way (so I guess they really don't want Oubre)... And another guy that can play some point, only to waive him.

    All this... to prevent Ariza from heading to LA.

    Tis the season to be spiteful fail-la la la la fail-la la la.

    It's always s***ty in Phoenix...

    LeBron James and his wife had an interesting couples dinner date Monday -- hitting up an NYC steakhouse with Carmelo Anthony and La La... and fueling rumors Melo's coming to the Lakers.

    NBA Reporter: "There's a rumor that the Lakers and Lebron WANT to sign......" nvm, I can't even believe it myself.

    Report: "Lebron has dinner with an old friend"

    that sure was a quick rumor!

    Surprised rivers isn't going to Houston, given that he's odious and all.

    Note to self: never ever get involved in trade talks with fickle a** Memphis.



    Anyways here's where he as well as other unexpected free agents could head to.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Austin Rivers the guy the Rockets + Chris Paul were trying to go after during the whole “staples center secret tunnel to the visitor locker room” confrontation?

    Maybe. Not sure about that but I thought CP3 wanted out of there at least partially because of the father / son connection. Yeah hope it ends horribly for them chemistry wise, but from the times I watched him play I don't get all the hate. Seems to have a lot grit and play hard with decent skills. Will defer to others' critiques of his game though. :p

    Poor man's Tim hardaway jr, imo. I'm sure he'll look great with dantoni, though, as all marginal perimeter players do.
