You keep mentioning Hayward as if he is on the block. I'm sure everyone would love to have him but Utah trading him would be like us trading Len and Bledsoe.

Why the hell would they trade him?

I could never root for him. Not sure if you know but he's a grade A a**hole. Had teammates over to his house and made them use the restroom with toilet paper with images of Obama's face on each sheet. I think if I were a black man I would have been beyond insulted and punched him in the face. One of his teammates at the time said he refused to wipe. No joke.


I got that stuff as a gag gift a couple years ago. I can't imagine actually having to use it, considering the toilet paper is probably about as flimsy and worthless as the guy depicted.

I'd love to have Hawes. He's a more consistent three point shooter than any loser that's on our team at the moment. Seems like it anyway, if his play against us is any indication.

Well they almost lost him in free agency over the summer. Just thought maybe they weren't very interested in him. The Jazz main problem has been not having a floor general. And I probably would trade Bledsoe for Hayward, lol (this is pretty fair, right?). It must be the hair... :wink:

Monroe. He's the only one that's not a tweener and the only one who provides what we need, post offense and rebounding.

Zoran has a guaranteed contract for next season. Not gonna happen.

There was never any doubt that the Jazz would match. The fans may have turned against him last year, but the FO basically said we'll match anything the entire year and they did.

Hayward has played like a superstar since Dante became the starter. Not because Dante is good, but because Trey Burke is so bad and takes his shots. I don't think there's a player on the Suns roster that's better than Hayward right now. He's been terrific on both ends of the floor lately.

BTW, we're totally gunning for Dragic this summer. Look out!

Good lord, Amare is our replacement for Len? Is Len out for the year?

I thought he was only being held out as a precaution?


I would take Jordan Schultz' comment with a grain of salt. At least Amare should get some fans in the building so we may have a home court advantage.

Speaking of HCA, did anyone see in the ASU/UA game the curtain ASU has for free throws? Maybe Suns fans need to do something like that. I only saw what they did once when they opened the curtain, but it was pretty funny and I'm sure distracting.

I think Suns fans should actually stop attending games to send a strong message to the ownership.

I don't think we can expect any changes unless we hit them where it hurts most, their wallets. I think attending games and cheering them on hard at games may send the message to Babby and Sarver that the fans are content with this team.

Gut feeling, Dragic is gone.


Ah, yes... one of those "hidden" messages:
1) "Gag" is similar to "Drag" as in Dragic. That's why he said, "sorry guys" - because Goran is beloved by most Suns fans except for the few that post here.
2) "for yours truly"... more like "for Love".
So Dragic for Love, eh? Book it.

Monroe at 10.5 rebounds per game, improved FT% and his unique offensive skills for a big sound good to me.

I'm curious why there aren't more trade rumors with him? He's unrestricted after this season so I would think Detroit would try to get whatever they can for him.

IIRC Monroe can veto and trade because he would lose his Bird Rights if traded. Makes it difficult I guess.

Well, from an average fan's perspective, we have been better last year and this year than any season since we went to the WCF. No one would be horribly disappointed this year if we didn't overachieve last year.

I think he stays. His main beef was that he would leave if they didn't get rid of Josh Smith. He can get the most money there and I imagine he likes what is going on there now.

I think most fans aren't disappointed about the win/loss record as much as the fact that they blew all/most of their cap space on a core that is not good enough to become contenders no matter how much they develop.

Even more disappointment in the fact that guys who have higher ceiling (Goodwin, Len ,Warren) are not getting the minutes that they should be getting.

Who cares, the Kings are responsible for his attitude. Such a dysfunctional franchise, if LeBron, Kobe or Durant were in his shoes, they would be whining so much more.

Cousins is the most dominant big man in the NBA since Shaq. You don't say no to that type of talent. His baggage can be fixed.

He's not even such a bad guy

I've tried to avert my eyes in any situation where the Knicks might appear on TV. Is Amare worth anything at this point?

Who needs a PG at this point? Jazz, Nets, Heat? Someone figure out a 3-4 team trade that ships IT and Marcus or Green or Plumlee for Faried.
