Nerds gave Suns an F.

Also, Trae + Pick clearly > Luka at this point.

nobody could have imagined the 7 7 311 man built like the middleweight champion of the world that ran like a gazelle would be good at basketball. undrafted, scouts thought him too smart and tall and just too good of a guy. "whatever he does in life, whether basketball or something else, i am sure he will excel. he is a real special young man", brad stevens said. yet amazingly it was basketball that captured this young mans interest. tacko thought, if i catch the ball and turn towards the basket and slam it in we will gain 2 points. if my hand is in the way of this little mans shot, it will not enter the basket.

No.

Also tacko will be mvp before Trae, but I like Trae.

James Jones was criticized all offseason for getting a bunch of players who were “just like him”. It’s a curious remark given that he played 14 years for 5 different teams and never had a losing season.

But it’s becoming clear he’s one of the shrewdest executives in sports.

His moves since becoming GM in October 2018:
1. Trades Trevor Ariza for Kelly Oubre, December 2018.
2. Trades Ryan Anderson for Tyler Johnson, February 2019.
3. Hires Monty Williams, May 2019
4. Trades #6 for Saric and MIN 2019 1st, June 2019.
5. Trades 2020 MIL 1st for Aron Baynes and 2019 BOS 1st.
6.Signs Ricky Rubio (3/51) and Frank Kaminsky (MLE), and extends Kelly Oubre (2/30), July 2019

In the 12 months he’s been in charge, the Suns have gone from a bottom 3 franchise to a team that’s arguably a favorite to playoff in the best conference in NBA history.

That you’re presumably offering this at evens proves my point.

You're post said they were likely favorites to playoff. I didnt offer anything was simply saying I'd take them not to playoff

Huh what does "arguably a favorite to playoff" in the best conference of all time mean then?

And I never offered odds. The only one who referenced them were you when you said they are arguably a likely favorite to playoff

Arguably != likely ldo

Your post implicitly suggests even odds

Thanks for proving Tacko > all. His 36 split against the Knicks was 48 and 36. He is a dominant force slowly being unleashed.

I took it to mean BETTER than even odds. More likely than not to playoff.

I think the Suns excitement needs to slow a bit. A couple / few decent teams won’t make the playoffs in the west and these teams were good before two days ago.
