This team is clueless. If they want to move in a different direction, first make sure the other one isn't a brick wall, with spikes on it.
Dragic while regressing, clearly shows more ability. You don't just get rid of this guy this early. It's still far too early to tell what he'll be. But for a guy who doesn't hog the ball, he sure was able to score like a ball hogger should. Brooks hogs the ball, and yet could never do what Dragic has already achieved.
This guy is more like a poor man's Stephon Marbury.
I keep hearing we'll be players in 2012 fa. Really? With our $$$$ owner expecting every player to accept less money? You can't Joe Johnson fa's.
Plus while having 'weather' to draw players, we won't have squat else, PLUS by now everybody knows $arver i$n't Jerry.
So who is going to sign with us? No Nash, No Marion, No Joe Johnson, No Amare, nor the 30 all-stars (joking, but dang near the truth) we gave away for $$$$, which we then would sign or trade (more picks or talent) for crap, which we would then trade away for $$$, rinse, repeat.
While it is still a ways away and much can change, if our current path is any sort of trend, we'll be lucky to overpay for a subpar player, as everybody else goes somewhere they have a chance to win, and won't be playing for a cheap owner.
I've seen this 'cap space' argument done time and time again, and we've been screwed in the past, we've seen numerous teams screwed just this past season. How are we going to sell the fa's? If we're banking on weather, we're already screwed.
Dragic can still be an all-star. He definitely has all-star stretches, and whatever we've seen this year is nothing compared to what he could do in subsequent years. Dragic next year isn't this year, and we just sold low on this guy, and there was no need for it. NO NEED.
We even gave up a pick. Insane. (and yes, you don't know who you get until you pick. sometimes a good player drops, other times you get lucky, but you won't know until you play the game). Either way, I'd rather HAVE the pick, and take a shot. Because unless you take a shot, you never have a chance for it to go in. Yes, like the Arizona pick, you only win if you play the game. We haven't, and those that we've given our picks to, or like Igodala, completely screwed the pooch by not hanging in there, have turned out to be all-stars or serviceable players time and time again. Right there for the taking, many times the reports are that this is the guy we're looking at, and wow he's drafted, it's just that we drafted him for another team.
So we don't draft well? Well since we decided to take the most 1st round picks in the nba in the 2000's and end up drafting the fewest, how could anyone say we aren't good at it? It doesn't appear we're good, because we're never picking them. It makes it quite easy to say we can't pick well, when you don't see them on our roster, but again why is that?
So we sold low on dragic AND gave up a 1st who we know not, for a poor man's Stephon Marbury, with potential locker room issues, who is a free agent (or qualifying offer) and thus might not be around in two months, or 1 year and 2 months. With that great cap space we'll never use correctly...see Amare's great cap space usage.
Nope, $arver is now in the disintegration phase of our team. This is his last roll before everything goes sour, and if he doesn't roll boxcars, it's over....for a long time.
But let's go out and sign more guys like Josh Childress with our great cap space, only to have to surrender lottery picks to get rid of....so now when we trade Nash, we're going to get crap in return because Childress will be moved with it. If not, who else do we have we can trade away? Gortat? Pietrus? No thanks.
Man, I would have been pissed if it was Josh Childress and 1st round pick for Brooks. We can't keep shooting ourselves in the foot. Reloading, then shooting our other foot. Then our hand, then the other hand, and now Nash, the head is next.
All one giant spiral from being cheap on ~5-10 million on Joe Johnson. Such is the realities of bankster non-thinking. Who sure knew how to hire a crony who then signed his boys in pure bss aackwards approach. The Suns, we had it all, and our petty owner pissed it all away...and we didn't even get a dang lousy t-shirt.
So we're going to either have to re-sign him, a waste, or not re-sign him, also a waste. If he re-signs, we'll have to waste more down the road to get rid of him, $arver style. We give up another 1st round pick, still have Childress on our roster, and
$arver hasn't learned squat, and after about 50 idiot moves, anyone guess what the next 50 will be? Potential dynasty to Clippers, and all that we have to show for it is whatever we get for Nash.
One more run, and even that isn't guaranteed, hell more like a longshot at this point.
How many days until the next trade where we get taken behind the woodshed again, this time with Nash?
Unlike the banking world, in the NBA, you don't fail upwards. Keep thinking that worthless crap is worth something and somehow it will all turnaround. Oh yes, our Suns are a shammockery of epic proportions. If the Suns were a country, we'd make Banana Republics look real.
So while the following may not be true, the track record shows, if you get traded/scumbagged by $arver, you're going to be an all-star.
We traded dragic? Seriously? Because when I woke up today, I said, the Suns would only be a good team, if we traded Dragic, he was oh so holding us back. Plus now we have one less pick for a potential trade up. But we got our new captain Sisko of Deep space nine, Avery Brooks, and you really have to be out there to believe we didn't just pull another $arver.
I'd rather be $arvered out in the middle of nowhere. You know, be up a creek without a paddle, to have everything in the palm of your hand, only to let it get away.
Our fans...nearly got munson....err $arverd. Oh wait we did.
If dragic wasn't the future, that what the hell have we been doing? To give up on him now IS another case of being $arvered. I'm not optimistic about the future, because I know the same non-thinking process will be applied incorrectly again. This is last call, not much we can do to get better after Nash is traded, he's our team's last bailout package, and once again it will be misused for an absolute sophist reason.
Deaf, dumb, and stupid would only partially describe the better parts of our Suns organization. The NBA is once again laughing, and everywhere like everything else most people are choosing the head in the sand approach. Reality is coming, and it's going to be a mother. Keep waiting for five straight grand slams, I'm sure it'll happen. Once again I'll point out the obvious, our leadership, is nuts. Follow their lunacy at your own peril. Sadly as a fan, I'm tied to the bumper like Stinky, and Clark W. Grizwold is doing the driving.
