I was thinking of posting an Ayton thread but decided it would be best to wait until afte May 15. I am not going to watch that day. I’ll just check the message board that day and rip off my disappointment pain like a bandaid.
Gambo interviewed Sarver today about the hire. They asked about the process. He said he let everyone else do the interviews and then when they were all done, he talked to Igor himself....
I don’t disagree with you. Just stating the reasons I think so many are gnashing their teeth about Doncic. I’m not one of them.
Majerle, really? Nobody here wanted him anyway!
Wtf?!? I am NOT one of them. But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised when you try to put words into my mouth when I LITERALLY JUST SAID I WASNT ONE OF THEM. And I didn’t compare darko to Doncic, I said other people are afraid of the SCENARIO. A bunch of highly hyped Americans and a single hyped euro. THAT was the comparison I made. NOT the two individual players, their backgrounds, skills or anything else. Just where they cane from. Maybe read backup a few posts to where i said people will be complaining because he’s a euro (not a darko). Maybe a little reading comprehension would help. But naw, that wouldn’t help you attack me, would it? Naw. I don’t know how much more clear about a topic I can be then when I state I am not one. But by all means surf through ALL of our discussions about Doncic. I defy you to find literally ANYTHING that I’ve said other than pretty supportive comments about Doncic. But that wouldn’t support your BS, so you won’t bother.
But that doesn’t change the fact that he turned down an interview. Which makes him one of three, that we know of, that openly stated they didn’t want the job when they were considered. You asked for 3-5. I gave you 3.
And of course it’s all because of Sarver right?
I never said that. But I’m inclined to lean that direction given past history. Sarver may not be as meddlesome as he once was but no one really changes their base personality. Particularly not wealthy powerful older white men. This is still the same guy who did the chicken dance at Pop. He’s abrasive. A leopard spots might fade, but they don’t change. So when I’m looking at an outcome and have to guess at the drivers I’m typically going to (a) recognize it’s a guess at best, and (b) err by assuming that evidence I have from the past is more likely to hold up than pure conjecture from the present.
Besides insulting pretty much everyone that accepts a job from him, why is it never anyone else’s fault? At least some people have seen through the vitriol of only blaming Sarver to see that McD and Triano are somewhat to blame for our current predicament.
Every comparison has a context. I don't think people who are bring up Darko are saying they are they same player. They are just comparing situations as in an over-hyped Euro in a very good draft.
Ironically, This board appears to be the sole place where everyone’s opinion of Doncic is relatively negative.
Oh I don’t disagree with that sentence. It takes a team of incompetence to get to the level that the suns reached. And I don’t give McD a pass in the coaching search. But the buck ultimately stops with ownership and Sarver hasn’t done anything to encourage my faith in him yet. I’m open minded to it, but this far evidence points to him being somewhat of a boob as an owner.
Sorry, I wasn't singling you out with my previous post. Upon reading it again, it seems like I was. Sorry about that.
Suns would have to take a player at two and trade that player to a team that would take young down in the draft. Not sure what asset the Suns could pick up?
