Brandon Rush anyone?

As I said in the Collins comments: It’s a bit early, but if the rebounds do turn out to hurt ‘em, trading JRich for Troy Murphy could work (even with Troy’s $11 million for the next two years, it works on the trade machine). Indiana lost 26 ppg with the loss of Daniels and Jack. They are very thin at the 2 with Jones (an awful 3 point shooter), and have no real offensive threat asside from Granger. Murphy is one of the league leaders in rebounds and can shoot the three. Moving Frye to the bench would give it some added offense (especially if LB starts). If the Pacers are willing to trade big for small, we should pull the trigger.

We could swap Tucker for Rush in the same deal. However, Brandon might not be the “lesser” brother.

There's magic out there. Telepathy. Power. Precision. Speed. But don't invest your emotional entirety or be swallowed up by addiction. After all, it's just a game.

I’m thinking Jeff Van Gundy needs to sign a 10-day contract

For NBA brother combos

The story begins and ends with Dick and Tom Van Arsdale. I may be an old fogey, but I haven’t seen two brothers do so consistentlky well since then. They both made All-Star teams. Tom actually played at forward, but Dick played at the 2. Identical twins, I could never tell them apart. When they were at Indiana, it was like, who brought the mirror in here?

Van Arsdales

Tom came to the Suns at the end of his career after spending a lot of time with the Pistons, Royals/Kings, and I think the Sixers. Of course, Dick was drafted from the Knicks roster in the expansion draft, and retired a Sun.

A couple of tidbits: Tom still holds the record for most games played in a career with no playoff appearance (929). Many might not remember the Pistons and Royals/Kings were garbage throughout the 60s and 70s. In contrast (as we know), Dick lucked out and had a stable career with playoff excitement in 1970 and 1976. Dick was a markedly better shooter, but their games were remarkably similar in most areas, unlike the brother combos we see today. I think Dick would have been able to shoot the three, and his defense was as good as Majerle’s D. One thing which stood out in his game was that he was always up in the leader board for free throws attempted because he was never afraid to go to the basket. Jrich could learn a lot from watching Dick Van film.

Check out the write-up of their Indiana careers. How often do you have two All-Americans from one team?

Steve Kerr is already on it

Steve Kerr is already planning his next moves on the brother front. Check out the Suns future draft board.

I posted this before in the “fanshots” section.

I used to pretend that Antonio and Dale Davis were brothers

Does that count?
