08:01 AM ET 10.31 | A new day dawns in Phoenix, where Suns GM Lance Blanks touts the balance of veterans and promising young players as a key to keeping within the middle of the Western Conference pack. "I think when you look at rosters and support and organizations, we should more than be in that conversation late in the season." There has been a different tenor to the month of preparation for Wednesday night. Coach Alvin Gentry and his staff have had to do far more teaching, and there has been frustration with the players' ability to grasp the system. There are no issues with effort, making for the most competitive camp in years, to the point that [Markieff Morris] angrily shoved a ball into [Luis Scola's] chest Tuesday over a scrimmage play. They are ready to play someone else.

Alvin Gentry, Icon Sports

Systems don't matter to Beasley. Just pass him the ball and watch the shot go up. Iv'e seen it so many times.

It's quite interesting how the season is not even 2 days old yet the lottery teams have already been determined... so much for parity and competetion.

In other news, GSW extended Curry to a 4 year $44M deal.

My bet is that he won't even play 25 games this season!!!

I watched it a number of times last night and was rather disgusted. The dude is a chucker, and we've already got one of those in Frye. We certainly don't need another one, especially when the shots that Beasley are taking are unnecessary,
