Dragic and a late pick for Brooks looked like a steal at the time. Dragic was one of the worst performing players in the league and Brooks a few months away from winning most improved..



This does not fit with your name.

What's wrong with what he said?

Dragic was absolutely horrible. We were losing double digit leads with Dragic on the court in almost every game.

I don't blame Blanks. You can say - he's destroying Suns. But..
I see Suns destroyed before B&B era - with old, outfueled roster of Nash & Hill as cores. It was the main reason of todays situation.
IMHO Blanks & Babby may have a vision of totally new Suns organization. They know that - besides Draft - no one great player will sign here in - let's say - 10 years. So they must make this team competitive other way. So they fixed to go defence. And it's right direction. It's easier, cheaper and faster to make a defensive roster who will fight like hell, gain wins and... fans. And they are doing it.
You say - look who's signed at the moment. I say - wait till next offseason. It was impossible to build better roster this offseason. Same way, it was impossible to change mentality and whole game of the Suns with Gentry.
I give Blanks credit. I give Hunter credit.
Remember - Hunter was one of serious candidates in Orlando, to be next one after SVG aka Ron Jeremy ;)

JO and I are two competitive guys who had an argument, and that was it. We walked out (of the coach's office where the argument took place) giving high-fives and brother hugs, and it's over."

This gets better and better.

@paulcoro: Who gets 'em? MT @fakejoshjody: @paulcoro suns took the majerle fathead promo scheduled for 1/30 off their promotional calendar on website.

I'm all for promoting a majerle fathead for suns GM. It will get more accomplished by sitting their and shaking it's head then blanks and his lack of a head!

I'm trying to figure out where u have been. 1) Blanks created a lot of this with his silly trades.(see dragic trade) 2) hunter has zero again that's 0 coaching experience and is currently under a FBI investigation. How do yOu see anyhing good about these yo-yos?

More funny stuff I read. Lindsey doesn't know how to teach and run practices. The assistants are running all practices. What a joke. Blanks and hunter are screwing up the organization so bad, all u can do is smile and shake your head in disbelief!

If there was ever a time to be on the road scouting for the most important draft the #Suns have had in years, it is now.... Instead GM Lance Blanks & scout John Treloar will travel with the team.

Yeah, you all must be right and this whole Suns organization, a half-billion dollars business, they are always wrong. Believe me, it's not true.
Say what you want. Any stupid idea you have in mind. No problem. I pass.

Well Blanks has already shown two times that doesn't know the prospects and I believe that he regulary will travel with the team.

This has been the biggest problem with the Suns, but it isn't just in the Blabby era. This stupidity has been going on for almost a decade.

Probably Treolar has already sold them on the next NBA brother, Cody Zeller.

Treolar spend time with Markieff's family before the draft to get to know his background and found that his mother was a great person.
Cody Zeller probably has a great family too with a mum that raised 3 pro basketball players.

We already did the first step: Signing the oldest brother for no reason.

Certainly in their statistical anaylsis Cody Zeller will rate extremely well in college too and they did not care about terrible combine results of Morris and Marshall either.

Just heard sarver on the radio (burns and gambo)

Key points:
1) Made sure to say hunter will coach the last 41 last games. Over and over basically saying hunter won't be back. That was good news.

2) thinks the draft picks will turn the team around. Wants to make trades.

3) gambo was awesome busting sarvers ass. No kissing his ass. Big props!

4) gambo called out sarver saying Beasley was a bad signing. Sarver said, I wouldn't say that.

5) sarver says he lets babby and blanks make all decision. Won't do their jobs.

6) sarver admitted blanks made the hunter hiring.

7) sarver doesn't think suns fans are mad. He said, "saying that is false, suns fans are happy, we check stats, they say something different."

8) sarver says o'neal is not medically cleared to play

9) again says Lindsey and 41 games many times.

10) kept trying to defend the hunter hiring, saying his team felt hunter was best for the team.

11) sarver said he wasn't in town when interviews happened.

12) sarver said lance has a "very good eye" for talent.

Wow, he is clueless. Shows he does not invest much time into the team.

Can you move this post to the thread about that interview? Just to make the flow of conversation easier :)
