I also hope that Goodwin moves into the starting lineup. It will probably crash this forum with how excited all of you will be.



ALSO, I hear the Diamondbacks are getting new uniforms?? ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING?? ARE WE RETURNING TO THE GOAT PURPLE AND TEAL? but ya, i hate baseball, but love new uniform discussion.



discuss.

I'd love to get the Purple and Teal back. And I love Archie Goodwin.


I miss our old teal and black jerseys. So many f**** red teams in baseball.

He can go **** himself. I lost all respect I had for him.

Btw, thanks for the news, Traxxe.

Wants a big market but says no to the Celtics. So basically he only wants to go to the Knicks/Lakers...


He didn't say no they pulled out after his press conference.

Ah, that's my bad, should have been reading closer. Thanks

Swaggy P looks really enticing right nao. Maybe Iggy Azalea will come out to the games and boost our ticket sales by putting us on the radar once again. I'd jump on that if I was McD

So not only did he shoot himself in the foot, he shot our franchise while doing so.

Duffy's LA office is not even 2 blocks away from my office.. which I am currently sitting in. Perhaps I should go pay him a visit....

Wow, so what if we don't deal him? He's stuck with a 4 year deal?
And if he only wants NY or LA, there's really no incentive on our part to deal him there. We'd get nothing in return.
Instead, he'll remain a Sun and either get boo'ed hard every night, or cheered with the hope he'll change his mind.



Wow, Dragic has literally back stabbed the Suns and pissing in the wound.

Won't even entertain potential trades.

if he cant be dealt for a fair value.. keep him.
McD should then do, assuming it is legal.
- Bench him for the rest of the year, "DNP".
- Ban him from practice, not use any of the Suns equipment to keep fit and in-shape, because he is not part of the team after the next 30 games anyways.

I want to see if someone offers a max contract, considering he will be out of shape and out of NBA form.

I better get some cred for this...

Not an insider but a friend from college works in the front office of an NBA east coast team.

Unless the Suns get a healthy return for Dragic, IT is packing his bags and heading to the cold cold cold. Vroom Vroom.

Suns are then going to try to convince Dragic to stay. They feel like they played hardball with Beldsoe and won. They will do the same with Dragic rather then take scraps.

The best deal for us is to trade Dragic to Orlando for Tobias Harris.

Frye will convince Goran to stay and for the Suns, they get the player with All Star potential in Tobias Harris.

Win-Win.

How bout keep Dragic but sit him out for the rest of season as retribution for throwing the entire team under the bus? Surely some tough love will set him straight and make him reconsider his prioriites

Amazing, but not surprising.

Dragic **** us good.

:-?

I'm gonna laugh my ass off and drink myself to sleep when he doesn't get any more than 80m (or even way less lol) and he burnt this bridge in the worst way possible for nothing.

Doesn't benefit anyone.

-Lakers continue to suck and keep their pick
- we probably don't make the playoffs
- Dragic bolts the first chance he gets in the off season

Yeah, definitely probably no need for that, especially if they knew Dragic expected him to play.

I hope it`s Minny for Zach LaVine. Some Wolves` fans on trade board like IT and were willing to trade us LaVine for him couple of days ago.
