Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Will Never Top Michael Jordan

Open Thread: Vegas Summer League, Game 4

The new, number 1.

Suns face the Cavs (without LeBron) in Game 4 of the Summer League.

Scottie Reynolds will play and will come off the bench and share time with Zabian like in Game 3.

The Cavs big name is JJ Hickson. I would imagine we will see Earl get some time on JJ but with Maciej Lampe on the floor as well he split time with Gani there. The Cavs don't have a true, big center in their starting rotation but neither do the Suns.

Pooh Jeeter has played well here and should be a fun match-up with Scottie. Poor Matt Janning will have to deal with another big guy, Christian Eyenga.

Reynolds getting robbed by refs

First a charge called a block, then a clean steal called a foul after the other player actually fouled him…

by 7footer on Jul 14, 2010 6:12 PM MST reply actions  

I'm glad Reynolds is showing he's multi-faceted

I heard a lot of people claiming he couldn’t be a true point guard…but watching him his whole career at Villanova, I saw he was more than capable of doing so. The problem was, he was the best scorer they had, so he had to be the one to shoot and drive to the basket most of the time.

Not trying to be overly fan-boyish on Reynolds

But we were keeping pace, and actually doing slightly better than Cleveland while Reynolds was running our offense. Our team scored only three FG’s after Reynolds went out and Dowdell came in, and Cleveland took a big lead.

Earl also is playing pretty badly…Gani Lawal is consistently outperforming him, and he’s a rookie 2nd rounder! Step it up Earl!

Looks like

Bells is signing with Utah. 3 years $10 mil. Good to see Raja get paid and NOT go to the Lakers. Plus he gets to play for Sloan again.

You'd better stop that, it's not being decided by that. It's being decided by two Phoenix Suns who knew about the rule, forgot about it, couldn't control themselves, and didn't have coaches that could control them. And don't you forget it.

Clark, Scottie, Gani

Greeting fellow Suns fans… I come in peace… hahaha, jk.

About the game…

lux200- I was actually thinking the same thing about Reynolds… it is way too early, but this should be a keeper…

speaking of which, Gani looks GOOD… obviously… future pf??? quite possibly.

on Earl… oh Earl… I don’t think think he has the “IT” (or even the IQ) that you need to have to play in the NBA… i.e. Dudley has IT.

Speaking of Duds… If he gets traded, especially over Clark, I will be mad (unless we get something GREAT back)… Otherwise, I think Dudley should get locked up asap.

That’s it for my 1st post… And I’m glad to finally get on here, and look forward to future discussions!

that does look pretty good...

i am wondering if we could get j rich to re-up for a little cheaper (or a lot, hahaha) then what he is making right now… I think adding him at SG to that list would look REAL good…

On J-Rich: I don’t know why people want to possibly trade him… I know he has an expiring contract and is making more money than he needs to, but he is a damn good 2, and a great fit for the suns… plus, with talk (however warranted)about how we barely have post players (only Lopez), I think people are forgetting how J-Rich is a pretty damn good post player (for our “Future Suns Roster Discussion”, we could say, as of now, that Lawal will be a good post player also)… Anyways, I’d like to see both him and Duds with the Suns in the future… But, we shall see… It has been an interesting off-season, to say the least.

Good stuff Beavis… hahaha

Peacefully sincere,
Suns13fan

by Suns13fan on Jul 14, 2010 7:46 PM MST up reply actions  

We are considering trading him because the possibility of Reynolds being able to play now and his expiring contract have made him expendable. Plus, we really need a PF/C that can rebound and defend or even post up.

Don't trade Dudley!

We all appreciate J-Rich though.

by Beavis 25 on Jul 14, 2010 8:06 PM MST up reply actions  

i don't think he is expendable tho...

cuz although I want Reynolds on the Suns, I don’t think a 6’3’’ basically PG makes a 6’6’’ SG expendable… looking at the future, we don’t have any SG’s other than chilly (hahaha)… J-Rich is still young and good…

I just hope the Suns don’t get too crazy and trade away J-Rich and Dudley for people who: a) won’t bring the same energy/ skill-set as those guys, and b) don’t fit the suns system (i.e. Al Jefferson aka a younger Shaq; and although I loved having the Shaqtus, he didn’t fit our system)… We have been undersized before, and although every one keeps saying “Yeah, well we haven’t won a championship either”, we have been extremely close; one or two plays away, an un-necessary suspension, and an ill-timed injury CLOSE…

However, I agree… We could use some good size, but I don’t see how we are going to give another big man any minutes with Frye and Lopez as our centers (and pretty good ones at that)… It’s be nice to have a rebounding 4, but we’ve done pretty well without one all these years… we just have to rebound by committee, and hope that Frye and Lopez and the other 4s, and possibly even Chilly, go and get some boards (sweet-LOUUUUU style… hahaha)

Peacefully sincere,

i say...

bring back Jaron Collins if possible, so that we have a back-up, back-up big man…

I think Reynolds is a keeper. Sign him and Lawal and send them to the D-league. They won’t get any playing time this year, but I’m sure they will next season when Grant Hill retires and J-Rich’s contract expires.
