I mean I understand Russ shouldering blame but Melo is the reason they lost this series. Dude missed ALOT of wide open shots man. Just imagine if u replaced him with some one like Trevor Ariza or even Kyle Korver :pachaha:

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS KNOCK DOWN OPEN SHOTS MELO:why:

They have all the pieces if they could somehow some way get rid of Melo and replace him with a real spot up shooter who can play a little defense, keep Paul George, and get Roberson back healthy......


Unfortunately 2 of those 3 things appear to be fukking impossible at this point :mjcry:

I'm not even an OKC fan but it hurts to see how much this team under achieved this season. :mjcry:

Brandon Knight. Man was he forgotten. Heard commentators speaking on Booker's statements about last time not making the playoffs. They were clowning him. To me, its not that hard for me to believe they cant next year. Look at Indiana. they were picked by most to win less than 30 games this year.

Suns have a good young core that will improve next year. Add Payton (he's been playing well for Suns) to that and if Knight comes back strong, they would have a solid guard rotation. If they get the top pick they could get Ayton or Bag. There are some really good FA's that will be out there....take the Sixers approach and get some vet shooters.

Suns fans don't want to re-sign Elfrid Payton at all. They told he was terrible.

really? I didnt know this. I didnt catch a lot of ball right before the offs but he played well after the trade. he is the defensive guy that they need beside Book. I never thought that much of Payton but I thought the Suns were a good fit for him.

Korver or Ariza would fit better but still, its because of Russ that they would. he is too high usage. no man can carry a team but so far. even Lebron. no way he gets to the finals this year if he has to put of 40 plus points just to win by 3. russ took 43 shots last night. :what:
