Pick #5 of Suns most hated top 10 list 

Post#1 » by bigfoot » Sun Oct 27, 2024 7:12 pm

People always throwing shade at one Suns player during the season or the front office during the offseason. So let's start a countdown of the 10 most hated Suns personalities. I'll setup the initial poll. Select one and then suggest the next person to add. Try to get everything squeezed in by XMAS so we can provide Santa with the naughty list.

#1 Robert Sarver 58% of the vote
#2 Ryan McDonough 59%
#3 Deandre Ayton 36%
#4 Morris Twins 52%
#5
#6
#7
#8
#9
#10

Votes for up next:


Lance Blanks
Michael Beasley
Jusuf Nurkic
PJ Tucker
Wheezy
Jerry Colangelo

It's Ryan McD for me. He did more to damage the franchise than anyone ever. Poor drafting, horrible relationship with players, unable to control Bobbie Sarver. Overall he laid the biggest and smellest turd ever on the Suns.

Up next: Eric Bledsoe

Gotta be Sarver for me and I don't think there's a need to justify my rationale. McD is a nice runner up though.

I agree with McDonough. Next up, who should already be on the list is Robert Horry. Brandon Knight too. Not sure why Tucker would be on there. I think most people liked him. At the time, people wanted TJ to start since we were a rebuilding team, and there were complaints about Tucker, but for the most part I think the fanbase really liked him. Same goes for Nurkic. McDyess I never hated but that decision to go back to Denver sucked.

No single player has done more damage to this franchise than DeAndre Ayton. We are still paying for this mistake to this day. At least McD picked Booker, even though that was pure luck.

Like Nurk a lot of folks bashed PJ so I included both although I doubt either will make top 10. Who can forget the Barkley for Horry and Cassell trade and the towel to face of Danny.

Sarver for me, quite easily.

Long before MCD squandered the B2B2B high lotto picks between 2016-2018, Sarver squandered multiple opportunities to improve during the SSOL era when we were on the precipice by selling off assets to save a penny....then he hired McD largely because he was a cheap hire being a young rookie GM

It's not the GM's job to control the owner. Do you get to control your boss at work? I assume not.

Plus, it was $arver's call to take Ayton over Luka. Worst owner in NBA history

Why is Ariza even on here?

Dude was a scrub by the time he came to the Suns so he's really irrelevant.

The Morris twins should absolutely be on this list also, those guys were a bunch of drama queens and sucked as NBA players.

Ariza makes little sense in comparison to some of the other listed choices. The Morris d-bags are a glaring omission.

New names will come after we decide who is worse. Sarver and McD are easily going to be top two and deservedly so. Just take a hot minute to name the next two douchbags to add to poll. I combined the MoBros since genetically there are the same person.

Also, Ariza was freaking quitter. Takes a big contract and then whines about the team instead of being a leader on the team.

Earl Watson could also be a candidate for the list.

Man, reading all the names in here feels like pure horror! So many dark chapters I have eliminated from my brain...

I have bad feelings, too, when I read names from last years squad when checking out the boxscores. EG for example. Hated his attitude and hated the team in general. It was one of the worst seasons for me as a Suns fan.

McDonough wasn't even as bad as the guy he replaced(Lance Blanks).

Sarver was the one responsible for putting these people who did so terribly in place.
