No, you are arguing strawman ignoring obvious intent. At this point it's basically trolling with this stuff. I think everyone has known for quite some time you want Holiday to play. Many of us would have liked to see it. It's unlikely to happen whether you keep spamming threads about it or not.

But if you want to hear it, yes, Payne did play some minutes. A few minutes of garbage time. Maybe he should have not gotten those garbage minutes...it wouldn't have impacted the outcome so it's irrelevant. Continually insisting on arguing about something trivial like this is not worth the time. There are better things to discuss.

Cool, thanks for telling me that you think my opinion is worthless, spamming, or now trolling. Give it a rest dude, you do those exact same things, even trolling posters on this board. Stop quoting me, saying false things, if you don't want me to have to correct you.

The fact remains, that Aaron has outplayed both Sham and Payne. It isn't his fault that Monty doesn't care about that fact.

Watch him be a serviceable defensive backup next year.

We need to know who called for this trade.

Well it was just for cash considerations...like with Craig the first time so didn't give up anything.

It wasn't a bad move, but, bolder moves at the deadline should have been made. When you're in win now mode, you take those chances. This was the only year the Suns were clear favorites to win a title.

Sure, if teams wanted Saric and Smith for a bigger name. A guy like Gordon was hurt and had another $20 million for next year. They were already projected way into the tax so not a guy reliable enough for this type of core to go into tax for when he would likely be injured anyway.

But regardless of that they maybe tried and Houston thought "Saric and probably a late pick? No thanks."
