Strange way of doing things, but I won't judge because I don't have the full picture. I think Okobo showed nice in the Clippers game, so this is a net positive I hope. Good luck to Canaan. I hope he can stay in the league!

Really? You used those exact words.

In response to someone's else's post, and you chose to take that and twist it with the deliberately misleading statement that the "149 posts about Canaan" are "all about" that.

No but it definitely led to your nonsense.

Gross misrepresentation, and you know it.

No it wasn't. Post #10 from this thread, from you...

Nice guy, yes. NBA level player, absolutely not. Give him an assistant coaching or intern-level front office job if you want to reward niceness. Don't punish the rest of the team by forcing him into the rotation undeservedly.

So you did start that, it wasn't replying to someone else's suggestion like you claim. It was the 10th post in this thread about him being released.

In response to someone's else's post, and you chose to take that and twist it with the deliberately misleading statement that the "149 posts about Canaan" are "all about" that.

You even repeated it later when someone said the Suns tried to make things right with Canaan since he got hurt last year, you went with...

Then, like I said, give him an assist coaching position or an intern-level job in the front office. Don't put him in a position where he is hurting the team on the court.

Now here you are denying it, why?

Another misrepresentation.

It's not a misrepresentation in the slightest. All Chap did was succinctly summarize your input to this thread. Is your memory that bad or do you just enjoy making things up in attempt to back up whatever current nonsense you're spewing? I ask because I already called you out doing that in this thread once when you kept saying the Suns never named an Interim GM and we had no one handling our front office, which was 100% false and ridiculous.

Do you know what being misrepresented means? No one has misrepresented your input here, you are being held accountable for your own statements. If you don't like being called on it then quit lying and saying stupid stuff. That might mean you need to quit posting altogether but since 3/4 of the board have you on ignore, no one would really notice.

12 of the first 50 posts were yours BTW, when you make 24% of the posts within the first hour or two a thread is live, that isn't a game thread, it's fair to say that person is the reason a thread is as large as it is. I only counted the first 50, I won't go through multiple pages but I would guess you kept up that quantity just by glancing at other pages.

No, he took a few of my posts, referenced them out of context, and then attributed 149 posts to those few.

You do understand cause and effect right? I GUARANTEE you that if you hadn’t posted those few posts early in the thread, this thread wouldn’t be nearly as long.

I suggest that you actually look at the posts (and the facts). Other than you and those responding to you, pretty much nobody responded to my few posts regarding offering Canaan an assistant coaching job or intern level front office position.

Try again.

LOL That’s because I’m one of the very few people that hasn’t put you on ignore.

Yet another distortion of the facts. There are plenty of posts in this thread that have nothing to do with my suggestion to offer Canaan an assistant coaching position or intern level front office position instead of gifting him playing time so he could blow games for the team.

Maybe your reading comprehension is lacking. The reason for that is because most people have you in ignore and they are responding to those of us that are not. Unfortunately that means that even though they ignore you they can’t get away from your nonsense. And I apologize to all of them for that.

But you fired the opening shot, so man up and take some responsibility.

Our exchange on this particular point started in this very thread above with YOUR post as follows:


seriously... how are there 149 posts about Canaan?
All about him Andy his ilk talking about Canaan as a coach or front office person.

Perhaps it is you who lacks reading comprehension and who needs to man up and take some responsibility...

This thread appears really funny to me. Chap is like one of those crazy guys on the street corner shouting at himself.
Right?!? There’s actually a few threads I can’t really read because they’ve been partially taken over by one (maybe two) people I’ve got on ignore.

I've tried unignoring a couple times and then after a short amount of time the need to ignore again becomes overwhelming. I think the poster will stay on ignore from here on out.

I have an inherent need to consume everything. So if I have someone on ignore, it's hard to be on this board because I tend to read everything. I've never ignored BC before, but I'm pretty close to doing it with 1Sun and being done with it.

If that is your choice, that is your right, Chap. I've worked on trying to not repeat my opinion whenever someone takes a different point of view in their post.

But I see that my opinions are now generally in step with a lot of ASFN posters. And I'm trying to accept that it is in the hands of management, like it or not.

FYI, my visiting Phoenix 48 years ago and deciding that this is where I wanted to spend the rest of my life (the job market loosened up eight years later and we made the move) was a labor of love. Supporting the Valley's pro teams have been part of that, which is why it is so frustrating that all of them have become so unprofessional in their leadership. I take it to heart!
