unhappy that dragic is leaving, or unhappy with their playing time, or unhappy with the franchise in general?

I want to be clear on how I feel. I do not like the dual point guard lineup at all. I would rather have Bledsoe over Dragic for several reasons. I would like to trade Dragic AND Thomas. However, basketball reasons aside, this is turning into a PR nightmare and it looks really bad on Sarver imo. Not the first time it has happened either. Nearly a decade ago Bryan Colangelo left and so did Rex Chapman. After D'antoni left/was fired, there was the Terry Porter fiasco. Then Alvin Gentry came in and was great for the Nash team. Then following the 2010 season, Sarver asked people to take a paycut and they got mad and Kerr left the team. Enter Lon Babby and Lance Blanks. Blanks was awful. Then after they assemble the worst roster in Suns history highlighted by building a team around Michael Beasley, the Suns fire Gentry and stab Dan Majerle in the back by by hiring Hunter. After Dragic came back, the Suns new front office goes out and gets multiple point guards. Dragic is forced to play shooting guard or small forward and off the ball. This seems to be a pattern now with the Suns screwing over people that have shown loyalty to them.

I hope we take a flier on Larry Sanders if he can be had for the cheap and his head checks out. Just so the Mavs dont get them

Disagree completely. I'm very glad to bea Suns fan all the time. I wear my Suns gear almost everyday even in downtown LA (when I lived in Cali). I am much happier cheering for a team that built itself from nothing, then be a Laker fan, where they buy a five time winner, and use those players to create another winner. That and the luck of having the number one pick multiple times.

He's said they're unhappy with the 3 PG lineup.

Paul Coro wrote:"I don't trust them anymore," Dragic said following Wednesday's practice session. "It happens too many times. Two, three times.

This goes beyond IT. I can't believe it got to this point. If they knew he didn't want to share a backcourt with Eric too they should have done something last offseason.

I can't imagine that Dragic leaving will help this much. There will still be too many shared minutes between the two of them.

Just "unhappy"...in context, sounds like he was referring to the 3 PG situation. IT wants to start, Bledsoe probably wants to be "the man" just like Goran.

Some of this has to go on Horny...I've lost a lot of faith in him as a leader this year. And him jabbing back at Goran with that quote today doesn't help. You're the coach, take the high road.

Unhappy that Goran turns out to be a biotch.

Wow, this organization is messed up. GM outsmarted himself. Coach too. Players unhappy, alteractions in the lockerrom, with two over-agressive thugs (? i don't like that word, but can't think any better).

I don't really see how we move forward (and upward of course) from this situation.

One of the worst times to be a Suns fan, and I've been one since 92...

Jeffrey Sanders @JeSanders11 · 43m 43 minutes ago
Dragic on if the #Suns can do something to change his mind, "I already made up my mind. It's 2 years, I played hard and every year is same."

Guys, we got IT last summer. When Dragic says "it's 2 years"...what the hell happened last season that pissed him off so much? Is it Eric?

Sorry, I gotta let this go. Y'all go ahead and hate Goran. Burn the effigy. Get catharsis. MB.

You're a fanboi. I'm a fan. The difference is I'd rather the franchise do what's best for them, rather than accommodate a fringe all star who wants a max deal. Oh, and he also just blasted our FO.

Well Fitz is a class act, leaving serious money on the table. Goran should take a lesson

Good. Let's get rid of it. Stop trying to make Archie into a PG and let him be a slashing attacking SG and call it a day. Don't really care for IT either so let's trade him for a bag of rocks too. I'm over these divas.

Bledsoe/Ennis
Green/Goodwin
Tucker/Morris/Warren

Len/Wright/Plumlee

Keeping Dragic and trying to mend fences is impossible now after what he said. He is forcing himself off the team. The fans would boo him every game.
