So Phoenix ended up getting a probable late 1st round pick, Gerald Green & Miles Plumlee by spending $4.5 million of available cap space to place the winning anmesty bid for Scola last summer.

It's interesting to see them rapidly accumulate assets in an attempt to rebuild. Their success will largely depend on Bledsoe, Len, Kendall Marshall & the Morris twins.

I expect them to deal Channing Frye too. The Thunder should definitely be interested in a stretch 4 like Frye who is deadly from 3.

Need to tank a few more seasons, end up with lottery picks, and draft well. The only way to rebuild if you can't attract free agents. Meaning if you finish with between 35-45 wins in a season, you've done a really bad job.

Yep. Unless you get lucky like they did with Stoudemire around the #10 pick. When you look at their roster with Caron Butler, Dragic, Beasley, Bledsoe, Gortat, Frye, Shannon Brown, Morris twins, PJ Tucker, Gerald Green, Kendall Marshall & the two new 1st rounders in Len and Archie Griffin they're not going to suck enough for a high pick.

Those guys could possibly go .500.

How are Scola and West going to split time?
Where does Danny Granger fit in?
It seems they're a little top heavy, salary wise, in the front court.
I see Paul George as a 35 minute All-Star at small forward.
Also at that position, they list Granger and Chris Copeland.
Although both guys can play a little PF, with Scola and West setting
up shop there, Danny and Chris look like 8 mpg oversights.
