Not saying he's better than McD but something to keep in mind.



Goran is NOT our best player. You're clearly a fanboy.


What?? Goran is our best player.

^this. It will be easier to cope with Goran leaving if IT is gone as well with it. Its time to have a normal team without 3 PG crap and just make Ennis the backup.

Edit: God damn it man of course their gonna keep IT F**K!

We should nip it in the bud and make it clear to him from the start that he won't be getting starting minutes

i wonder how we evaluate the rest of the teams with this happening, like brandon wright for example, does the FO still wish to keep him? Pj tucker? Green?

I was referring to the locker room stuff. His quotes reflect frustration and rightfully so. He has been relegated to the corner. Fact. His usage rate is down. Fact. His stats are near where his production was at last year despite a lack of opportunity. Fact. He is being misused and has gone unheard.

Green barely even counts as an SG so..... yeah you could say we need to reconsider our personnel now that we're no longer rolling out Three Headed Hydra gimmick

IT to Boston
Goran & Zoran to Houston.

My guess.

Nothing changes IMO. Wright is still envisioned in the long term. Green is still on the block and PJ is just PJ.

Goran is NOT our best player. You're clearly a fanboy.

Must be why I stayed here even when Dragic went to Houston :lol: :lol:


Goran was a nobody back then. Just a dude who scored 25 points in a playoff quarter.

He's nowhere near as great a player as his fans think he is. He's a good player, but he's played like **** this year and has had a bad attitude to boot. If he wants to wipe the **** off his shoes on the Suns' carpet on the way out the door then good riddence.

I think we could have changed Dragic's mind if his issue was with just IT or Bledsoe. But it seems like he has a problem with Bled, IT, Morri.. and that's just too many people to move to please 1 person.

Is it because of the nature of his extension?


Sorry, not sure if anyone answered this yet, but I think it's because he just recently signed his extension in the beginning of the season. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure.

Played like ****? averaging almost 17 points a game and 4 assists and 50% from the field as a GUARD is ****? he's having a down year bc he's playing an unnatural position put him as our starting pg guy would be putting up close to 20/8

I just hope if Dragic gets traded that Horny doesn't start IT with Bledsoe. I'm thinking we give Green another chance and start him at the 2 which he thrived in last season when Bledsoe was out.
