Sarver Sux

[sharkman]

If you can't afford the gas...you don't buy a Ferrari...you get a toy you can afford.


This money pinching crap on a team close to winning it all is frustrating.

 

[dodie53]

damn right

 

[pokerface]

What are you guys talking about? Was that draft pick going to bring us a championship?

 

[Chaplin]

What--is Kerr completely untouchable by you guys? It's possible that Sarver said to not pick anyone, but Kerr obviously went along with it.

 

[Texsun]

Very very disappointed. No ONE player drafted this late guarantees a championship. What this player does is allow quality depth to be developed and/or traded at a later time...instead of forcing a rediculous Marcus Banks signing for instance.

Utterly rediculous!!

 

[TJ]

Since when did Bill BIdwill buy the suns??

 

[pokerface]

Say you're sorry!

Sarver drafted a player! You guys got mad over nothing.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I am so irritated right now I can't stand it.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We sold a player to a division rival and improved them for money. Sorry we have every right to be mad.

It's pretty obvious Kerr was brought in to be Sarver's puppet. Why go for the puppet over the puppet master.

 

[sharkman]

Figures...we sell our pick for cash...and San Antonio picks Splitter 4 spots later...like his rebounding and interior defense couldn't help the Suns.

 

[JS22]

Ok:

1. The Suns are over the cap.

2 - The Suns kept their own pick and actually drafted a player.

3 - The Suns did not trade KT.

I don't really see much to complain about. And how the hell is Sarver cheap? Seriously, we go through this crap every season. Please, someone justify their opinion that Sarver is cheap. If anything, he's been a little too "spendy" lately. (Hello Diaw!)

 

[pokerface]

We sold a player to a division rival and improved them for money.

You expected the Suns to use both their picks?

Besides, we dont know if Portland improved or not. So they get a late first rounder...no biggie.

Sorry we have every right to be mad.

Not really. The offseason isnt over yet.

 

[Covert Rain]

Why not trade the pick for a future pick? If anything it gives you an extra pick in the next draft that you can use to move up if need be. The fact that he sold it for money speaks volumes to me. The fact that this isn't the first time says even more.

If you believe that, I have some dehydrated water to sell you.

Absolutely! I cant believe they turn on Sarver so easily ESPECIALLY after all the money he's spent over the years. Talk about short memorys...JEESH.

 

[carey]

I think suns.com is changing it's domain name to picksforcash.com

Yell he's either doing what Sarver told him or Saver was stupid to hire him as GM.

The offseaon just started! You guys need to see the bigger picture instead of dwelling too much on a particular deal. You dont know what ideas they have behind the scenes.

If I knew there were no more moves for the rest of the offseason then I'd be angry but I dont know that...more could be coming.

 

[Stout]

Well, all I know, as a casual fan, is that we'd better make SOME kind of improvement in FA, or I'm not going to be a happy fan. We need to get a little more physical, and get some more clutch play on our team. Marion is a complete regular-season wonder and playoff flop. Can't call him *********** because he chokes on the big one. So, what do we do to improve?

It's not just about this. It's vetoing a contract extension for Joe Johnson, then trading him away. The fact that we got lucky and Boris Diaw was actually decent is moot - they essentially gave JJ away for nothing, save for the pick coming next year.

It's about drafting a guy who would have been a decent backup to Nash last year - and selling him for cash.

Heck, a couple of years ago the Suns only kept 11 players on their roster to save money!

It's good to actually have a sane, logical poster on this board.

 

[Ryanwb]

I guess the real reason we didn't get Garnett... we didn't want to take on his salary.

Exactly. I am probably one of the biggest homers on this board and even I can call a spade and spade.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Last year I vehemently defended $arver. The quotes from Kerr are nearly identical to the ones from D'Antoni last year!

"Well we tried to move up and couldn't. So we had 3 guys we wanted to draft and none of them made it to us so we sold the picks for money to give us flexibility in the free agent market."

You can just rubber stamp that this year. Why is this acceptable to anyone? You at least get some sort of asset out of the trade beyond cash. A second round pick 5 years from now is more valuable than a big bunch of nothing. Well more valuable to anyone except $arver.
