I'm going with the theory Gentry did not want Telfair, yet he was forced upon him.... but then I remember Halfman's unexplained lengthy appearances. :dontknow:

Brooks going to China stained him. Hard to blame a guy opting to make a couple of Mil and having a 1 yr experience in the far east, but in the long run, he lost at least that. Really though, Brooks had what a 20 game run with us ? Not much time to build loyalty. It will come to a head here soon, with Brooks returning and all.

So many 'what ifs' associated with that deal. I just might lay blame on RunDog jinxing Goran at the line. At least its logical. :wink: The saga continues, whether we like it or not.

Pretty much sums up the Suns in their entirety the past few years, nothing we do makes much sense anymore.

I will say that Brooks got me on his side a littel when he stood up for our guy - when the ref insulted him? Anyone recall details?

I like Brooks' passion - if he can keep it useful, make it work for him, and not turn into Lopez

speaking of Lopez - we trade him yet?

I will let him go for a box of The Death fo Superman, mint in the bag. I hear that comic is so valuable they had to print another 5 million copies

Ha, he shot poorly, not me. :lol: I just commented on it. If I do happen to have that much power. Man Kobe sure sucks at shooting from the field, and since he has gone down three percent from free throw from last year, and now in the summer, shooting in the sixties, he will just be terrible. :D Some of that was actual truth from the great Goran. :wink:

Although, I do feel that Goran's dip in free throw shooting affected his confidence at driving to the basket. Bummer he had to go, and even more so, was adding that pick.

It was Dowdell, being called (I think) a b*tch by the ref, or something like that.

Brooks cost us about 5 wins with him in China.

Brooks trade cost us about 8-10 wins. Dragic would have been beasting.
