    Portland, Golden State and particularly Toronto won't pass on Waiters. Suns looking hard for a deal they might not get.

    Dude's cray cray. If you follow that entire series of tweets, he says Bobcats should take him #2.

    This really does not deserve it's own thread. A Bobcats beat writer's opinion on twitter? Gimme a break.

    Karma, Phoenix!

    We were in their same position back in '02

    I remember clearly the Blazers were trying hard to trade up for Amare.

    Yeah but Stoudemire was good and worthy of trading up.

    Waiters may be as well, hard to tell....

    His coach, Boeheim had a lot of positive things to say about him....

    Boeheim compared Jonny Flynn to Chris Paul. It's not like he's going to say anything negative.

    Fair enough...but you know his play is impressive....I like how he finishes at the rim and thru contact...He can get his shot off, break down a defender...underated defender...I think POR could use a guy who can break down the defense...

    If we can't trade for Jonny Flynn, we can use our high draft pick for the next-best thing.

    But I wish we could get that Flynn guy. He sounds really good.

    Waiters looks "solid" right now. Kind of like Felton and Baron Davis type solid. I wonder if he struggles with his weight. Probably not for a few years.

    When I think Felton and Baron Davis, I think chunky, not solid.

    I know but Barron and Felton were solid at one time. I think Waiters may be the type of guy who will literally have to work his ass off to stay in shape. 6'3" 220 right now at 20 is solid, but wait until he gets some money and can eat what ever he wants......

    In the doghouse for 2 years at Syracuse with weight issues

    Sounds like a winner

    Did I mention his shot is ugly?

    Easily their best player on both ends.

    Oh, and did I mention they went 34-3?

    Yes Indeed.
