As an opportunistic entrepreneur, I have thought of a way to capitalize on the unfortunate turn of events (if the Rumors are true about trading JJ for draft picks).



I am seriously thinking of selling foam fingers for disgruntled fans...(only mine displays the middle finger).

I would say you could point it at Sarver at the games...but he'd only throw you out.


Sarver
:stupid:

Classic.

I could see foam fingers with the middle finger extended.

On them could be written Sarver and the Suns #1.

:D

you know what.....i was thinking about that same thing. it would need some sort of punch line directed at sarver though.

maybe something like "Pinch YOUR pennies with MY middle finger"

In retrospect, I can understand the finance aspect of sports...some owners simply can't afford to lose money...others can.



My problem is.....how come we always seem to get the penny pinchers like Sarver and Bidwill....while others (like Dallas/Cuban) get owners who want to put a winner on the court at any cost?

Damn. We were 3 friggin wins away from the FINALS....with a YOUNG TEAM!

:bang:

But Sarver said that he would match any offer. How can this be true?

Well why the hell did he buy the team then? At least the cards came from bidwill's family, he's not going to sell because of what the team meant to his family. Why did the foam finger wearing fool buy a team, if can't spend some (not cuban-like mony, but some) to build a team that will contend for ten years.

Because JJ wants to go, and they do not think it would be appropriate for force him to stay.

I guess we have to wait and see how JJ does in ATL. 70MM is a lot of jack to pay a player and maybe he was just a product of our system. If this was Amare, I would be jumping off of a bridge, but since it's JJ I'll be waiting to make a judgement.

It looks like you can order fingers from:
http://www.gimmees.com/detail~pNum~855~pcategory~17~psubcategory~2.asp

You must be registered for see images attach


I think the minimum order is for 100 at $2.39 per hand.

Setup charge $40.00 per color/side. Price includes one color, one side imprint. Additional imprint color/side is .30 per item.

IMO the foam could be orange, with the ink purple. Total it seems like this would cost $279 + shipping.

I am not sure if all 100 could be sold online (it would be easier in front of AWA), so you might have to make the price 5-7 dollars to start.

Wearing one of these at a game would require attending a game, which I'm unwiling to do. We aren't getting out of the 1st round of the playoffs next year so what's the point??

Brilliant.

By the way.....am I the only one who has the urge to pee in JJ and Sarvers respective pools?

It could just be the alcohol talking....or maybe that's whats giving me the urge....(gotta go)....

Next year we wont step back much. People underestimate Bell's shooting.

If we land another backcourt player, we will still win the Pacific and make at least the second round.

2 years from now is when it hurts it alot.

How about something less offensive, like a foam hand pinching a penny between the index finger and the thumb and "Savers" mug on the face of the penny?

While agree that JJ's shooting can be easily replaced....I more worried about the following three points:

1. Whose going to play backup point guard now (since I have NO faith in Barbosa learning how to pass the ball)...and...

2. What is this going to do for Amare's signing?...and...

3. WHAT IS THIS GOING TO DO FOR AMARE'S SIGNING?

:eek:

Agree. I wouldn't be surprised if the Suns make a move for Stoudemire still. Apparently Jerry West said the deal isn't done yet. I know the Suns were interested in him, so it is a possibility still.

i don't blame JJ in the slightest. he did what he had to do. the ball is in sarver's court. i dont' give a f*** what JJ wants. its not about that. match him and move on. this is a pro we're talking about. if elton brand can do it for the frickin clippers, jj can do it on our team.
