Here it is fellas! Your chance to ask our FO WTF are they doing/thinking!

We must spam the s**t out of them with Nash questions. I have already sent in 5, all dealing with the Mexican standoff that we currently have going on with Nash. I hope a few of you guys will join me in this crusade! :D

Last one i sent:

This question is directed to Robert Sarver. How does it feel knowing most Suns fans hate you? I know every Suns fan on the RealGM board hates your guts and wishes they could take turns kicking you in the nuts. Also, how does it feel to know that half of these fan know where you live, thanks to Satellite Imaging on Mapquest?


After that, i just started sending in random Steve Nash trade ideas, hoping the Front Office see's them, and hopefully they spark some kind of idea. :D

Nash to Indiana for Collison/1st
Nash to Toronto for Bayless/Derozan/Davis/1st
and a few others.

Way to go Kerrsed... I am sure your comments will go right to the top .....

of the 7th grader pile.


Go ahead on your own crusade to trade Nash. You do not represent a majority here.


PS.... I asked Sarver how much he would sell the team for.... :eyebrows:

"This question is directed towards Robert Sarver. Does it bother you that you have not brought in an All Star other than an over the hill Shaq to the Suns since you bought the team? And you have let 3 all stars, (Marion, Stoudemire, Johnson) walk away?"

"This question is directed towards Robert Sarver. How does it feel knowing that when you bought the Suns they were selling out US Airways Center every night, and now it is dead and empty? Does this bother you for any reason other than you not getting money?"

"You say you are rewarding Nash for being such a big part of the franchise by not trading him. But wouldn't it have been better to reward him by not making him play with a team full of scrubs? Sounds more like punishment to me..."

That is false. Replace "by not trading him" with "by giving him the choice to leave or stay".

This is almost exactly what I said, except mine was much longer and included more threats.

Actually, when Sarver bought the team the Suns had just finished a 29-53 season and USAC was not selling out. Sarver's first move was considered kinda crazy by most...signing an over 30 PG with back problems to a long term, high dollar contract.

Suns then have (arguably) the best four year run in their history. Save for some real bad luck, they should've grabbed at least one title...maybe even two.

Down right now for sure. Some questionable moves made for sure. But they'll be back and relevent relatively soon. Especially if they keep Nash around for the last 4 years of his career.

Yeah, they are answering selected questions on the Suns website. Can't wait to see what kind of pathetic questions they end up choosing.

"Is it hard being a GM?"
"Do you like our future?"
"This question is directed towards Lon Babby. Do you like pie?"

The FAQ answer section forthcoming will only choose softball questions I guarantee you. More of the same bs. I doubt Sarver will ever read any of these lets get real; its just an effort by the FO to let angry fans vent and to try to make the fans feel more connected to the process.

Which we arent. Rather than pouring over them for potential ideas or fresh angles I bet they are just going to let a lower level employee handle the Q&A and the bosses will sign off on it to make it look authentic.
