dam, good luck getting any future FA to sign there if that happened. He's not the one asking out, Dragic is.

How? We'd have to get rid of so many contracts just to free up the cash. We definitely have to trade IT for an expiring this season just to offer either guy the contract they want. I just don't think we could clear the cash to get both. But it would be cool if we did.

We don't have enough real fans at games to cheer the team on when we are winning. There is no way they could get coordinated enough to boo anyone, even opposing players. But we usually have more away fans than home town ones.

Goran's to blame. He's seeing dollar signs.

I'm not saying Dragic is completely right but I definitely don't think its mostly his fault like many here do.

Re: Isaiah Thomas has ruined the Suns?
As an outsider looking in, the only person to blame for Dragic wanting to leave is your GM. You have Dragic, who is looking like a great PG, so what does your GM do? He throws a ton of money at another PG in Bledsoe. The head coach makes it work. The next year in the offseason, you have a glut of PGs and need wings and post players, so what does your GM do? He drafts 1 wing and a PG in the first round of the draft, and then brings in ANOTHER high priced PG. Seriously? This guy is a moron. He reminds me of Matt millen when he kept drafting WRs in the first round. I remember face palming right when they signed IT, and I wasn't even aware that they drafted a PG at the time. If there is someone to blame here, it's not IT, it's McDonough. That guy should be fired.

Nut-shelled, except perhaps the moron thing. Jury is still out. I think McDuh got snared in the 'accumulation of assets' his mentor Ainge is doing.
What ? Me Worry ?

The issue with accumulating assets like this is that other teams know you are more inclined to trade a PG asset, which devalues each individual. Even before Dragic demanded a trade, the suns weren't going to get fair value in return for any of their PGs. Now that Dragic is demanding a trade, the Suns are probably going to get even less value than estimated because other teams know that the suns will either make a trade or lose one of their best players for nothing. He's also building assets at the deepest position in the NBA. It's just a poor strategy to me.

We drafted Ennis and signed IT before Bledsoe committed. Some of the blame here can be pointed towards Bledsoe for not talking to us for 2 months last summer.
