AWA- Sec 120
I have a sneaky suspicion that BC is going to haunt the Suns and give it to Sarver any way he can. BC is already showing his power.

Wow he beat us to John Salmons, who cares.

I still don't like Salmons for the money he would've gotten from us anyway.

So BC saved us from doing something dumb that we would regret in a couple years.

If over paying for a guy who can't shoot and would be the 8th or 9th option on our bench is "haunting" then let him be his ******

I'm not crying over the dude, Suns already are going to add Amare this offseason, thats 10 better then any player available. Salmons is not the worth kind of bank

That trade wasn't bad at all for the Raptors. TJ Ford will be great for the Raptors and they obviously didn't like Villanueva. BC is a good GM and I could see him haunting us in the future. When Nash retires and Sarver shows how pathetic he is at least i'll have that "I told you so" while we are all crying on this board together. Salmons would've been great for this team too no matter what you want to believe. All players are overpaid, big deal. You don't get anyone by being frugal.

I thought this might happen.

The Suns and the Raptors are targeting the same people because they have the same scouting department. Next summer it won't be an issue because they will have gone their separate ways.

I don't know. I think Colangelo will be going after Iavaroni too. :( Would be great for them because he's a good big men coach. Bosh, Bargnani...

It's almost guaranteed that BC goes after our coaches during the next offseason. :mad:

Revenge is really going to suck. :mad: I won't really mind if we win a championship this year though.

First off, I wouldn't really get too bent out of shape over losing John Salmons.

Wait till Colangelo lands a true impact player away from the Suns before we all begin to think that we're getting schooled by the old boss.

Don't get me wrong here.. Good player, yes.. Difference between the Suns and Toronto winning a championship? Probably not. Basically, he picked the chance to get regular PT over spot duty. I know some of you are itching for a move, but 23 million over 5 years (4.6 mill per) is a bit high for the 8 or 9th man off the bench, wouldn't you say?

The Ford-for-Villanueva deal was at least at this point, fair. If Ford can remain healthy and can stay on pace with the performance he had in the first half of last season, it'll prove to be an even better deal for Toronto. I don't agree with trading Charlie V, but at the same time, with Colangelo purging pretty much anything from the Rob Babcock Era, you sorta knew it was just a matter of time before V was shipped out too.

At this point, the verdict is still out on that deal.

Well, not in the NBA they aren't. Even though that isn't fair. The worst bball players get 7x my dad's salary, heh... BC had problems with Sarver and now he's going to take it out on the team.

I'm not saying Toronto won that deal by a lot. I agree that it's a fair trade and NOT a bad move by BC. WastedFate was laughing at the trade so that's why I made that comment.

I also agree that it was overpaying for Salmons, but he would have been a good addition to this team and like I said before most players are overpaid. You need to give them the money to get the player so I'm not totally against that contract.

This deal was structured explicitly to fit under the TE. I find it oddly reassuring that they are trying to keep cap space in addition to the TE, like they think they might do something beyond this deal.

The jury is still out on Bryan. I always had the feeling that he got too much credit here in Phx. Most decisions were made 'by committee' with most of the input from D'Antonio/Iavaroni/Weber/Gentry. We'll see how that goes in Toronto where he will prolly shoulder most of the responsibility (and no Daddy around give him advice!)
