We seriously need to trade Dragic. Bledsoe is gonna be our starting PG of the future, so start him at PG instead of SG. Let Christmas start at the 2 and have Archie back him up, not have Archie back up Dragic. That's stupid. Horny should know better. McD should make a move NOW.

Dragic is a solid player but we have yet to see Bledsoe prove anything as a starter in games that matter so you can't pull the trigger. Trading Dragic would be hard anyway PG is not a big need in the NBA. Does anyone know the starters tonight? Are we really gonna go with Bledsoe,Dragic,Tucker as the 1-3 spots.

I hope Len gets a chance to play tonight. I'd love to see him match up against (and embarrass) Robin.

So, out of curiosity, how many 'fans' will actually be rooting for the Suns to lose games this season?

As a life long Suns fan, I can't do it. I always want my team to win. That being said, I won't sweat the losses this season. And, of course, losses should come quite easily, so there's probably no reason to wish for it anyway.

Wow... Just... wow.

So, let me get this straight... Trade Dragic who, at the moment (and probably for the season, and also young enough to still be in his prime when the team turns it around), is our best player, for ??????. Then, don't start the first-round pick by the Suns, but rather, start a player that barely made the roster, and will likely be practice-fodder, at best. Bledsoe is a Suns' player, right now... but he has yet to come to a deal with the team for a contract. So... I definitely wouldn't, without a doubt, call him the Suns' "PG of the future."

Let me ask you this... You trade away Dragic for a draft pick, or two (somewhere in the middle to end of the first-round/beginning of the second-round), and some player to make salaries match, that will probably be a shell of what Dragic is, for a similar price. Then, Bledsoe gets a deal from another team that is ridiculous, Suns don't match that over-paying contract and let him walk. Next season... uhhh... Ish Smith is the starting PG for the Suns??? WONDERFUL DEAL!

Horny has openly stated that he views the situation with Dragic/Bledsoe, much like himself with KJ. Why should he know better????? Makes zero sense.

Yay! Another TRADE-DRAGIC-NOW!!!!!!@%!!!! poster. SMH. :roll:

Please don't turn this into another "your not a true fan if you want the Suns to lose and get good draft picks" thread.

There are plenty other threads on this board for that, I can link you to one if you want and you can pose your question in that instead.

That's okay, I was just curious. I figured there'd be some people who'd flip out if we win tonight, that's all. Whether fans want the team to win or lose doesn't really matter since we really don't have any say in it. All we can do is sit back and enjoy (or not enjoy) the show.

If Marcus starts off terrible, we should have him switch unis with Markief at the half. Ha, you thought you suspended him, think again.
