So long Chief Kieff. It was the worst of times, period.

Gone, don't care anymore. I was bummed he played like total crap to start this season, but oh well.

Maybe a decade from now, I hope to never think of these years of terrible basketball.

Won't be missed.

Classic 'new' generation guy - fake tough guy, bad attitude, always pointing the finger at someone else and acting like a petulant child.

He will not be remembered fondly for me, despite his obvious talents and bargain contract.

We will think about the rookie year of MVP Devin Booker and the year we drafted his sidekick, Ben Simmons 8-)

Good riddance!

I hope he rots in mediocrity.

Suns may still be unwatchable, but at least not so unlikable. Morris really made me lose the will to watch this team play. Can't root for a guy who just impersonates all traits I usually dislike in a person.

I'm glad he's gone. His attitude and the way he goes about life is not something you want to have around and rub off on the young players, especially the goat Devin Booker. This team is still a mess but at least it's watchable now without that big cancer.

I'll miss him just because I've watched him for about 5 years. The situation sucks but this was necessary.

I've never liked his poor shooting, rebounding or defense. He was a cog in the worst era of suns history. Thanks for getting us a pick.

I dont remember anyone being 'run out of town' like this. The past couple of days, the radio promos for KTAR ran 'Pro Trade' spots. No love, nor even an unbiased approach. They really soured on both Mngmnt and Assclown1 with their speculation. Good thing McDazzle was able to move the FartyFellow, else the blame/hate would have tilted more onto the FO.

This was a bad chapter in our book. Lessons to be learned ? I would imagine the FO will be more wary of character for who they take on. The radio boys also touched on the scowling Bled and Griffin....pointing out the un-likability of these guys. The FO has some work to do to win back the fan base. It is only a small gain...this addition by subtraction, as for a talent for talent swap, in a vacuum, we likely lose this deal.

MathiasPW · Post #18 » by **MathiasPW** » Fri Feb 19, 2016 2:54 pm

Agreed. Booker is a huge step in the right direction. Everybody, even out of Suns circles, loves the kid. Bledsoe tried harder this season. But still long ways to go.

I'm not as....I'm not sure what the right word is, mad? I'm not mad at Kieff. I have a soft spot for players with a mental hurdle because I like rooting for the underdog. I was seriously hoping he'd figure it out and we'd look back on these years as a learning experience. It became clear to me recently that Kieff isn't that likeable headcase like a Rasheed Wallace for example. I'm glad we made the trade and the value we got in return far succeeds whatever value Kieff brought to the table. Really, we could have waived him and gained addition by subtraction.

Onwards and upwards. Maybe things could have been different in another life.

It's really a shame Keef is such a moron. Loads of talent but even aside from all the drama over the last year and a half, his effort has never been consistent from day one.

He's easily a top 10 PF when he plays at 100%.

I wonder if one day, when he is 50 years old and long retired, if he will regret not giving more effort and thus having a larger legacy?
