at least we aren't the suns

[bishopospurs]

Check out what realgm wrote about them. I would hate to be a suns fan, what horrible front office work.

The Suns are quite disgraceful when it comes to the Draft over the past five years. They have continually dealt away first round talent for cap savings and unsurprisingly have zero titles and a bleak future to show for it. They could have had Luol Deng, Nate Robinson, Rajon Rondo, Sergio Rodriguez, and Rudy Fernandez. And even now, their second round selection of Marcin Gortat looks great – except for the fact he’s in Orlando!!! Instead, they have… Alando Tucker and Robin Lopez.

2008
Robin Lopez, 15th
Malik Hairston, 48th (traded to San Antonio)

2007
Rudy Fernandez, 24th (traded to Portland)
Alando Tucker, 29th
D.J. Strawberry, 59th

2006
Rajon Rondo, 21st (traded to Boston)
Sergio Rodriguez, 27th (traded to Portland)

2005
Nate Robinson, 21st (traded to New York)
Marcin Gortat, 57th (traded to Orlando)

2004
Luol Deng, 7th (traded to Chicago)

We only played a week longer than they did this year, so although we've obviously had more success in the past, right now we're not much better than them.

We both suffered injuries to key players that derailed the season.

The big difference between us and them though, is that a bunch of their big names also have the inflated egos that go with it. Amare talks a big game but rarely backs it up; Shaq can't seem to keep his mouth shut, but he's always been that way and is entertaining. Now Nash is talking like he wants out - though who could blame him.

have you kept up with the news lately? Nash is staying put in PHX not only because he wants to stay but because PHX wants him back. So Amare talks big game but rarely backs it up? I'm guessing you are referring the PHX/SA series where Amar'e exposed Duncan for 37pts/game only to lose the series.

YOU trying to proof a point here is like talking to a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) 5 year old. ok so you named like 10 guys when the truth of the fact is we only would have liked to have Rondo and Deng back, that is it. the rest are guys that have more bad night than good nights. you're acting like if we gave up perennial all stars or something. Malik Hairston? Sergio Rodriguez? Gortat? give me a motha freaking break!

How embarrassing that the only thing Suns fans have to boast about is a series loss from 2005...but hey, at least A'm'a'r'e'''' "exposed" Duncan, right?

How did he expose him exactly?

[TXSun]

you don't want me to post this on the PHX board do you? I guess you didn't read carefully, he exposed him by averaging almost 40pts on him. Oh yeah and Nash wants out right? Guess you didn't read those links that i sent you either. why do i even bother with you, seems like i'm dealing with a/an _______ that doesn't read.

[bishopospurs]

I didn't meant to upset you, the only words that are mine in the original post are "check out what realgm said about phoenix" the rest are straight from the draft preview that realgm posted. The suns would be a much different looking team with those role players that you dismissed as guys that have bad nights. I would be the first to admit there are some role players I wish the spurs had kept i.e. Hedo and Barbaso, but the list isn't as deep as Phoenix's. Please direct other suns fans here, what can they do? Call me (Please Use More Appropriate Word)? Though I derive a great sense of personal value from people on realgm I think I can survive a friendly debate with my self esteem intact.

Calm down TX, the article's right..we have given away TALENT ever since Colangelo stopped being top gorilla

There seems to be so many ways out of this mess but NONE of them ever eventuate

Post it wherever you like, what do I care? Exposed him as what though? That's what I'm trying to decipher. Yeah, I know - he averaged 37ppg that series. I know this because Suns fans never shut up about it. Here's a stat for ya: 4-1. That's the series win, ie. the only one that matters.

No, I didn't read the links. Funny how a Spurs fan doesn't have much interest in reading up on the Suns during his spare time...

Clearly someone forgot to take their meds.

Enjoy the lottery again next year.
