    Suns Off-season Thread

    yes. Booker had plenty of time to prepare and communicate exactly what he wanted to get across. No "offense" came across, and that can be interpreted as playing defense on the issue -- and that concerned me as soon as others started stepping up i credit you for your honesty, given that you are...

    Strategy: The Penalties Equation

    the Cardinals' propensity for accumulating penalties is my most consistent grievance with them. i haven't checked, but i assume they're among the worst in the league, especially at picking up false starts and i can't help but blame Kingsbury for their lack of discipline. but, i also can't help...

    i think we're overlooking another possibility -- that it was just what it looked like in the moment, desperation set in and Monty said something he shouldn't have and so did Ayton both are embarrassed that it came to that. it is in Monty's job description to smooth it out but because Ayton...

    Suns Off-season Thread

    true however, i think we'll know something within the first 3 games of this season -- whether this team is hell-bent on redemption. or just hell-bent (but even so, i agree that it's fixable. They can come together and reload via trade mid-season)

    Suns Off-season Thread

    i don't think this confirms that Ayton didn't want to come back but that he probably did dread coming back and dealing with Monty (a typical family fight scenario) i'm disappointed in Monty it's his responsiblity to be the adult in the room and smooth things out for the good of the team this...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    the question is NOT about anyone's impression or perspective on Sarver. It's about the NBA's investigation, the punishment and results -- about taking a stand on this kind of abuse anywhere in the league -- or anywhere, period. Booker's response was weak. and the defenses of his weak response...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    everyone knows Sarver treated Booker like his most prized possession since the day he was drafted, so Booker sharing his "honest" experience of how Sarver treated him is irrelevant. No one expected or wanted him to "score cheap points!" actually, none of the players who stepped up, "slammed...

    Suns Media Day and Training Camp

    i'd be more concerned if the interviews were more like 2021. a lot has happened and is still happening and they've got a lot of work ahead of them. the community has waited a long time to hear them answer these questions, so, answer them and while so many others are stepping up, Booker's "tough...

    Suns Media Day and Training Camp

    the first time the media asks Booker about Sarver he needs to get it right not be wishy-washy Steph Curry said he talked directly to Silver and supports the (sale) outcome and of course, Lebron, Green, and CP3 came out strong. as this team's leader, Booker needs to climb out of the backseat

    Suns Off-season Thread

    at best, this is just about Crowder having known he's been involved in trade talks all off season. at worst. Crowder was a component of the family dysfunction at the end of the season. either way. i believe Crowder was a weak link in the offense and, perhaps, his defense helped pump up some of...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    i'm sure there was pressure from the minority owners who gave him a chance to save face. all this stuff you're hearing now about the Suns now being a great free-agent destination and saving their reputation? all existed in the owners minds a full year ago -- smart business also, you've got a...

    Suns Off-season Thread

    indeed, i often said many of the best players step up and get better when riled, but Booker isn't one of them -- he usually gets sloppy. and while i have the cover of a few others critiquing Booker, i'll add -- tying in with the topic of this thread Booker missed a great opportunity to add to...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    this is for you, Cheese i'm now upgrading my opinion on Booker getting involved to a "must do" i think Sarver is toast even without Booker's condemnation but as the leader and future of the team he needs to get involved as the leader and future of the team he needs to make sure Sarver is...

    i've been spot on the past 5 years on all the biggest issues i said from the beginning that the other owners will pressure him out and so it shall be Paypal did not take a "principled stand" they are money sucking pigs always, always, follow the money they analyzed that this is the smart play...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    indeed, there's a way to navigate this. just put out something like "i've always had a good experience in my dealings with Robert Sarver but I acknowledge the findings of the NBA's investigation and believe his behavior was unacceptable"

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    instead of me accusing you of being a 1tinsoldier hater, for the sake of everyone who understandably hates this kind of bickering, let's just conclude that i am a Booker-hater and everyone can invalidate and ignore anything i say about him (hmmm. ignore rhymes with "Igor." i was labeled an Igor...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    dude, you're not really gonna still try to make me out to be a Booker "hater" every time i mention what he should or shouldn't do, are you? i'll surely have a whole sack of Suns criticisms to unload as the season progresses, and as the superstar leader of this franchise a lot of that will...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    but now that Paul has stepped up, i'd advise Booker to make a similar statement tomorrow Paul may still be the floor leader on this team, but it's Booker's team and he has a long future ahead of him. He should not want to be known as the guy who didn't say something or finally said something...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    the good news is i see this pushback building rather than dissipating yes, the NBA's advantage of the off-season timing is less microphones in player's faces but players today all have their own media access/exposure/megaphones now if they want it and this is will be THE #1 topic for long...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    also, i do not believe Sun's active players should take action. they are, of course, in a difficult position being that the boss controls their future and salaries but players should get involved more specifically, isn't that what the Player's Association/union is for -- protecting the...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    While Gambo didn't duck the realities of the situation, his first radio discussion of the news was prefaced with the understanding that some are "disgruntled employees" (which he repeated another time or 2) and Sarver has been "an NBA leader in hiring minorities." after a full year of over 300...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    i predicted the other owners would vote him out and i'll stick with that (or pressure him out to let him save face, which he doesn't deserve considering what he's done to the Suns reputation). they'd be stupid to not remove this human stain from damaging the franchise and its future any further...
