I heard IHG bailed, finally

I heard he got fired... of course it was just a rumor though... Only person that could fire IHG would be Chuck Norris

Shaq solved a majority of problems. Rebounding, post defense, big man. However he opened up new problems that appear to be bigger than that of what he solved for us.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again... IHG is a total idiot who has no clue about what he's talking about.

I've said it before, and i'll say it again....IHG knew what the Suns were talking about. Complete closed minded duchebags like you dont know what your talking about. You have no idea and never will as your smaller then most brain cant comprehend factoring in that people/teams/everybody changes their minds. Somehow when i saw the thread title i knew it was going to turn in to a bash IHG thread.

hey hey buddy no need for the name calling. I respect the fact that you remain loyal to IHG but you said it yourself, you knew the bash was coming and rightfully so, at the same time ask yourself the questions "why wouldn't IHG get bashed?". 1st time i forgive you, 2nd time I might get mad, 3rd time I will get mad, 4th time I'll just ignore it and laugh it out.

Some of you guys are clueless - this was how the leak was flushed out, hence why IHG/his source are "gone" from the net

He was accurate delivering his news when he heard it

This is going to get locked very quickly if it turns into an IH-IHG thread...

Please behave more maturely guys. This kind of bashing threads goes old pretty fast and is pointless. And why don't you go ask the Mod on whether IHG is legit before starting another useless thread like this.

Childress, Kleiza, and now Wafer. this team is starting to look like an NBA team. we need to play a preseason game vs Olympiakos.

lol IH-IHG.

Good for him, go where the money takes him. Wafer wouldn't have helped here anyway unless we moved JRich and needed some depth at the 2.

Kleiza is making some nice money with Olympiakos as well. Just over 6 mill a year.

I was on vacation when the Von Wafer stuff occurred.

Anyway, the Wafer stuff was planted and tested through certain circles. I had gotten an email we weren't interested in him because of his history and his attitude towards the end that made the Rockets lose interest in resigning him altogether. I was told we had observed him working out but I guess that was a part of the lie stuff going around.

I was too busy partaking in the ocean and beers to have heard anything during the time IHG was outed.

Anyway. All is quiet now. Not much going on and that's the way Nash wants it as he is fairly content with the team now. Things will be addressed if we get off to a bad start considering our tough schedule. Amare is a concern because he still isn't hitting the court like he should be.

Wafer is a scrub. All his potential is negated by his low bball IQ. Anything productive he does, he'll make up for it by making a stupid foul or turnover or take a lousy shot.

amare's twitter says he's getting ready for the season

Traxxe · Post #18 » by **Traxxe** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 9:07 am

He's supposed to start working out this week and training. Some people think he should of started sooner instead of vacationing. He delayed training despite being medically cleared after the follow-up surgery.

Anyway, as I said before in another thread he is supposed to start now. Some people are worried he didn't start sooner and about decision/reasoning behind such.

have u heard any word about how amare feels about working for his contract this season?

Traxxe · Post #20 » by **Traxxe** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 11:18 am

He wanted a max extension this summer. He found out that no teams will give them that until they see him play the season through (he hopes they will come around halfway through the seaons) and will get maxed then. He's a bit miffed at the Suns because he thought they owed him a max extension. Some think his waiting on training may be a snub. Though his training has never been much of a concern before.

Actually, here is a key indicator of the Amare situation:

Steve Nash will be the Captain.
The Co-Captain is either Grant or Stat.

If the Suns want long term with Stat I think this will be an early sign if he is appointed co-captain. I am not sure though that is going to happen. Relations have soured. That's just a fact. Amare is under contract and is expected to play and prove his health before more talks continue. Now if that is mid-season or end of season depends on a myriad of factors; how well we play as a team, chemistry, Nash's consent, desire to trade Amare and anticipated value at the time of said trade.
