I guess he’s not washed after all, almost like we should stop reading too much into his slow starts that he has every year.

[MightyMoog]

You can’t play Plumlee. He’s just bad bad bad. Lol


Trade Tyus for an another back up. Willing to give Nurk another chance but I think he’s washed too.

You can't trade Tyus. A, he makes no money, B, you'd immediately be on every agent's blacklist.

As for Nurk, his brain is washed. I think we should send him to get some "help".

[ShelC]

I promise you agents wouldn't care about us trading Tyus. People used to say that during the Rubio-CP rumors - "it's a bad look to trade a guy who just signed with you, other FAs won't want to sign with us". Means absolutely nothing.

There's a huge difference when the players takes the veteran's minimum to sign with you. Rubio had signed a 3-year, $51 million deal.

Missed this one…but looks like Richards was kinda awesome? How’d he look?

Good, finished in the paint, was aggressive with a lane, defense was ok, rebounded well. Overall very solid.

I do think you can…but gotta make sure you send him somewhere he’s ok with…banishing him to the bench in Portland would be a bad look.

Richards was spectacular today (first ever 20/10 game off the bench in franchise history in his debut). He gave us multiple second chance opportunities and was highly efficient with his shots. You can tell he understands his role on the team and he made the most of it. It was abundantly clear we were far worse with Plumlee and Oso out there.

[Split T]

Richards starting by the next game?

[SunsShine]

I would be both shocked and disappointed if Richards doesn’t start against Cleveland on Monday.

Richards starting by the next game?

Can he play 48 minutes

[INFORMER]

This team needs another quality center and for KD to pull his head out of his ass.

If there's a way we could get Goga, we should pursue it.

Allen for Goga and filler, but at this point I think that ship has sailed.

Goga has been gettable a multiple times in seasons past, but I think the Magic value him, especially with losing Mo Wagner for the season.

[INFORMER]

Yeah, Tyus has been anonymous again.

10 assists.

[INFORMER]

Ugh, this win probably revitalized his delusions.

I agree that the concern can be overstated, but I don't think it means absolutely nothing. I think the Suns would take a hit if they dealt Tyus, especially if it's to a bad situation.

[TOO]

I would be both shocked and disappointed if Richards doesn’t start against Cleveland on Monday.

To be fair, it's probably not gonna matter.

His best stat is that he was a game-high +22 in 29 minutes. Nobody else was even close to that.
