    Rich Cho is 'making' $1,000,000 a year.

    His body of work:

    SEAN MARKS

    He's stealing money.

    Crazy time. Suns now the favourites in the West?

    I wish Cho was bold enough to get a mediocre point guard who's no longer young enough to have upside.

    I was thinking the same thing. Dragic is pretty good. Brooks would be a downgrade. maybe we get Dragic?

    No idea where this came from.

    The general idea here is that the Suns got a little better and (as of right now) it does not appear as though Portland bothered to.

    That doesn't automagically translate into best team in the west.

    A general idea that I believe is wrong.

    It sounds like they bothered quite a bit. Not actually executing a trade is not the same as not putting in effort, though I realize to irrational venters, it seems like the same thing. (And, of course, it seems like they may have actually executed one, but that isn't relevant to my point.)

    Oh.

    There is also a rumor that Aaron Brooks is headed this way for a first-round pick.... but reports vary about this one.

    Phoenix is always looking for ways to save money (selling picks, etc.) maybe we could flip Rudy and the Bayless exception for him...would that make sense to anyone else?

    I think the TE can't be used in conjunction with an out-going player... maybe a pick, the TE, and $3m cash for Aaron Brooks and a worse pick?

    O.J. Mayo stays in Memphis. Grizzlies and Pacers couldn't come to agreement before deadline, source says.

    The next CBA needs to add a provision that bullshit like this can not interrupt the McRob USA tour.
