The One And Only Offseason Thread 4

Dude we get it, you're an Amir Johnson fan boy and you think he's a really good player. So good in fact he could command a whopping $6 million salary. Nothing wrong with being a fan boy, but when you make 20 posts all arguing basically the same thing it's getting borderline trollish. Most trolls are fairly mean spirited in their posts, but you seem to be very eager and polite in your trolling. You've made your point over and over. I just heard your buddies on the Raptor board miss you and would like you to come home.

Didn't intend to argue. Not a Amir fan boy at all. Come on man we're all fans of our respective teams and we're just having a discussion. I didn't come here to insult you guys.

My point was Amir is underrated that's all im trying to say. He's worth a lot more then Ennis in a trade lime some of you guys think. I apologize and I'll stop posting here.

Thanks for coming man! The old geezer's over here think anyone who hasn't dedicated 10 years of their lives arguing on a chat isn't a real fan like them! They call everyone a Troll but yet they are the old grumpy man that isn't open to change!

I appreciate you coming over here!

Honestly, if we are looking for a good defender and a great rim protector/rebounder i would rather go after Sanders. Its been known that he is available (and for cheap), and he could reboot his worth here in the valley. He is still young and very mobile. I think he could be a perfect fit here.

I agree with you on Sanders! What would his price tag be though? Who would we let go of?

Good post Beas4pres. Aren't you also about to get banned over on BSOTS?

So instead of tearing through about 20 pages of missed reading, which seemed to be full of pointless arguments, can anyone give a little recap? Any insider knowledge lately? Does the Lakers rumor have teeth?

Huh? I am not on BSOTS. Don't be mad that I stuck up for someone who came over to have a discussion and wasn't a complete

Good comparison! You definitely need to get a warning for this! I fought in the war and definitely wouldn't compare 9/11 to Bledsoe's Knee's!

20 pages of BS because there has been a lack of any news. Lakers rumor really has nothing behind it and holds no weight.

No teeth at all.

Hill cannot be traded till December. He would not be included if there was a deal.

Only way it could work is 2 more weeks once Randle is 30 days after signing if they did a NASH expiring, Randle, and a 1st.

i'm not comparing 9/11 to Bledoe's Knees.

but i apologize if i offended you.

[King4Day]

I'd say we missed on the following guys we were interested in:

James
Anthony
Bosh
Gasol
Hayward (chose charlotte before flying to phoenix)
Frye

Well sure, if you use the term interest extremely loosely.

Not signing a guy means you struck out on your attempt to get him. We wound up signing one guy who no one even knew we were interested in.
Sure, it was unlikely we were going to sign James or Bosh but it wasn't speculation that we wanted them. Our front office made pushes for both.
Hayward was a big target of ours for months and we couldn't even nab a meeting with him.
Gasol we don't know if the team ever met with him but considering we had already lost Frye and we tried acquiring him earlier in the season, I'd think the FO tried.

It wasn't just interest. Our FO tried and couldn't convince any of them to sign.

Sorry just felt like you compared my screen name to if you named your kid 9/11 Terrorist.

No prob man. All is fun and games until anyone belittles the Marines (Military)

It's all good though

Let's not go there...
Terrible comparison

[aIvin adams]

oh. well, yah, i was comparing yer screen name to me naming my kid 9/11 Terrorist. yes, i was doing that. i didnt mean to compare Bledoe's knees to that tragedy tho. so if i crossed a line then my bad.

the point of my comparison is that yer screen name seems bizarrely deaf to social norms. in this case, the basic foundational mores which define an internet suns fan community.

i disagree, but we're not writing a Millers Analogy Test here, so ymmv. i'm sorry if i offended you.

[Kerrsed]

Back to the topic people. Enough with the attacks and insinuations.

[Cutter]

If character concerns can be safely put to rest, I am completely on board with getting Larry Sanders and his smokin' good contract.

[King4Day]

1. A debate about trying to get Amir Johnson. Not a bad idea, but people are upset about it for some reason.
2. A Raptor fan comes in, ask a simple question, and get pegged for it from the very first post. Why is it so hard to have a normal conversation. If you don't like what someone has to say, there are better ways to vent so than to act like you are better than the other person.

3. This site has a lot more debate than the other forums I post in which is why I come more now. It shouldn't mean that the level of talk should deteriorate. I hate having to sift through little fights here and there. Ignore the person if you don't like what they have to say.

I think my name is a funny name! Dude has No Knee. Does it mean I hate him? No. What if its a positive. He is good and has no Knee! Cannot judge a name without knowing me.

My opinion on Bledsoe

PROS
-Good Player when Healthy
-Good Defensive PG
-Put up good statistics when he played
-Gets to the Rim
-Athletic
-Hustles

CONS
-Not an Ideal point guard but more attacking guard
-Do not think he can be a #1 Option for a team
-I do not think he is a Max Player yet even a 10 Mill a year player. I would let it slide for 4 years 44 Mill though. Nothing More (I KNOW ITS MORE THAN 10 MILL But THATS WHY I WOULD LET THAT SLIDE THIS YEAR DUE TO OVER PAY OF OTHERS)
-Injury Prone (No Knee)
-Short

I just am looking for the SUNS to benefit from a signing and I think over 44 Million would lock them into an Injury Prone player who only has Potential but hasn't lived up to anything.
