Jackson needs this. He should have been suspended but atleast it's some sort of punishment to take him out of the starting 5.

On the contrary, Chriss certainly does not need this. He needs the opposite of this.

I doubt its a punishment for the hand gesture, triano was alrdy talking about starting chriss or bender and someone had to sit

This is also true. I guess should have started Bender then?

Bender needs to be starting. He's been playing better and compliments the starters well. Chriss will just rack up early fouls and get them to the bonus in 5 minutes before he gets pulled.

Why is Chandler still playing?

I don't get this

I am hopeful of him moving along with Bledsoe in a trade

Its a very McD thing to do to wait until a player's trade value has plummeted and rush trade him at the last minute for an expiring and a pick.

I dont want anymore picks. We have a boatload coming from Miami and still our own. I would rather a young piece or two like Mudiay.

However, most likely scenario is we trade Bled for Greg Monroe and a Top 20 protected 1st. Sigh.

At least one writer is saying it. We definitely need a full change at the top down through the entire front office.

I saw a Yahoo article about Nash being the answer. But I think he's staying far away until Sarver is gone, he's too smart to jump in this dumpster fire.

Wow, that article is brutal.

Why am I surprised Bledsoe isn't travelling with the team? I always thought there's a mutual agreement when these trade request gets bade public that the player will continue playing until a suitable trade is found. I'm not complaining since it's probably better he doesn't play so not to add the risk of injury.

Why would he be with the team? McDonough said he was sent home.

She nails it and i dont have any doubts that Sarver is the one that forces McD's hand and doesnt let him do his job properly.

I didn't see that part. Still, surprised we're not playing him (or he doesn't want to play) until a trade is found.

I think McD viewed his behavior as detrimental to the team.

Gee, sounds like McD has the dream job. Every bad management decision he makes is absolved because Sarver exists.

Which is more than fair.

Despite his Bledsoe-lite tendencies, he has been pretty solid and has serious guts. We will have to pay him soon though. Getting Jackson on the court is important, though. I would have preferred to try Booker, Jackson, Warren, Bender, Chandler as our lineup tonight. Better defense around two solid scorers.

Why didnt Ulis get the nod for the start?

I've been a supporter of McD since he got us Bledsoe for very little. But it's impossible to overlook his flaws and I don't think Sarver should get all the blame which seemingly some fans are putting on him. Ultimately it is Sarver who hired McD but I'd say a majority of fans (including myself) also gave McD a pass on many of the mistakes he's made.

I'm leaning towards moving on from McD for the first time in his tenure with the Suns.
