Those guys are shooters who can't shoot.

Mclemore is shooting a higher percentage from 3 than dragic or bledsoe on more attempts this year.

Get out of here with your pesky "facts".

Gambo just said Boston is out of the running "he just knows"

Not exactly - his problem is that we had a winning blue print for a team with Dragic at the helm and RMcD has gone and paid (Bledsoe) and recruited (IT); questionable character guys and bad team fits (the latter probably only in IT's case) who've taken over and ruined team style and chemistry.

Phrasing it like it's Dragic's primadonna fault is simply wrong and fuels the propaganda fire. Yes Dragic possibly could have handled the fallout better but it sounds like he was at it's wits end after seeking out RMcD a number of times with his concerns but nothing changed.

Again, Blame RMcD and Hornacek but this one is not on Dragic.

I'll blame who I want, TYVM.

Dragic is not a guy to build a team around, especially with all the athletic PGs in the West. He can't defend guys like Paul, Westbrook, Lillard or even Conley. Bledsoe can. He's also younger and can hold up to contact better than Goran. Did everyone forget how Dragic broke down at the end of last season? And you all think he's a guys we should give a long-term deal to? His playing style is not conducive to a long, successful playing career. He just doesn't have the physique to hold up the the beating. Better to cut bait now.

Same thing Cuban said...

well to be fair Cuban did get a ring and Nash didnt. Maybe he was right.

Yeah look how well that turned out for us? FO hyping up our cap space with empty posturing about reeling in a big fish, when we were never really in contention. Didn't even consider improving the frontcourt, and IT was our marquee signing

Revived · Post #845 » by **Revived** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 10:51 pm

As much as I love Goran, I don't want the Suns to 'accommodate" him or whatever.

We should take whatever deal is best for us. If a team not on his list wants to take a risk on him despite him walking after the year, then so be it.

Suns should take whatever deal is best for them even if it means trading him to a team not on his list.

We need post prescence, if our shooting is off, or their defense slows us down we have no half court game, we need a PF who can bang down low.

Hahah good job blowing the leverage help from Boston, Gambo...

Gambo ruled out Boston as a trade partner for either IT or Goran

Gambo: Dragic will not resign with Kings

I hope gambo is not the one breaking these, because if he is he needs to keep his mouth shut

At this point I could care less what Gambo says with his inside information. He has not called anything correctly with the Suns since McDonough has been the GM. He is no longer an inside source when it comes to the Suns.

Really? That is a great fit for him with Cousins. Looks like he either wants to be the 1st option (ridiculous) or he just wants to go to a big market.

Holy ****. This is depressing. Maybe even more depressing than when the 2010 team was broken up.

I know right, if he was any kind of intelligent he should shut his damn mouth.

McLemore reminds me of a younger J-Rich with a better jumper (needs consistency, Horny can help improve that) and with better handles. Bled-McLemore backcourt can be a nightmare in two years if they develop some cohesion. Both are super athletic, which McD loves.

I'm happy to hear this, but Ben has no handles at all. I dunno how bad J-Rich might have been, but I can't imagine it being worse than Ben.

We need to trade Dragic for whatever the best deal is. If all we can get is a 1st for him so be it. I'd even be happy with Jones or DMO from HOU.

Gambo is the one of the biggest idiots in Phoenix sports media, Doug and Wolfley are the others. Gambo is so far in bed with Sarver. If Gambo says anything bad about players, its Sarver saying it.

I just want a decent return for Dragic, and whatever McD can get for IT. This season has put the Suns back in rebuilding mode.
