I would absolutely beg for him back. Its the least we could do after slapping him in the face by signing IT. Our PG should be, and should have been all along, Dragic. He has mad heart and is a great unselfish PG. Move Bledsoe to the 2. And freaking get rid of IT.

I don't care what Dragic has said. As far as Im concerned he has every right.

If my boss hired not one, but TWO people to do my job for me, I'd quit too. In a heartbeat.
I don't mind paying Dragic this year either before the caps go up.

Dragic is way underrated by some people I think. I didn't like trading him to Houston several years ago. It is obvious in his demeaner that he is a winner. Numbers back it up.

Actually no, focus on all. Focus on the magnitude of how utterly and unnecessarily **** up everything got. It's all yours. This is as bad as the 49ers and Jim Harbaugh not getting their heads out of their asses to stay together for 20 years and dominate football.

It's inexcusable. On ALL fronts. This is the dumbest **** thing I've seen happen in a long time, and I'm online following politics all day.

But hey, you wanted to be like every other team, right?


I have to agree...this has been teamwork and a common goal at it's worst and everyone shares blame.

Please convince him to stay. Going to Chicago this Saturday and also have courtside row A tickets just across the Suns bench for the Nets game. Will wear my Dragic jersey regardless. I hate that we awarded the MIP all nba 3rd team by putting him in the corner watching bledsoe and thomas dribble the ball. So frustrated with the Suns organization...

Seriously, other than nitpick on petty $hit, please move on and don't quote me unless you have a F$#KING point other than being F$#KING petty as $hit.


It's a relevant point WTF makes - if you don't correctly use phrases or terms, we can naturally assume you're IQ deficient; any points you make going forward are therefore to be listened to much less.

No one cares about spelling errors but wholly incorrect usage of terms is in another league altogether.


While I might agree with your point in general, I walk a different path when it comes to the metaphorical use of the word "literally". It's been used in this manner by some of the finest English language authors for more than 4 centuries. Purists have only been decrying it's use as an intensifier (or it's metaphorical use) for about a century now. Somebody woke up one morning and realized that it had a specific definition that didn't appear to allow for the way learned minds were using it. That person had a stick up his butt and proceeded to make a big deal out of it. Not unlike the idiot that convinced a generation of English speaking people to avoid the use of the word assume because some Professor once told them it made an ass out of "u" and "me".

Anyway, I would avoid saying "I literally yelled when I heard Goran wanted a trade" but I'd be comfortable saying "I'd literally jump over the moon if we were able to turn Dragic into J. Okafor". But on an internet forum, I'm not going to complain too much if I can figure out what the guy is saying without having to re-read his comment more than twice.


I read a hilarious article about bad word usage by Paul Shirley (ex Suns 12th man!) and literally was the top of the list...he talked about how often people say things like "I literally **** my pants!" and he would respond "Well that must have been messy. What did you do in such an uncomfortable situation". This article is on the internet somewhere....he has some site....on the tip of my brain but can't think of it....flipcollective? something like that. Oh yeah...somewhere in here... http://www.flipcollective.com/

This Front Office has prided itself with its secrecy. They have been stuffing their dirty laundry in a closet for a while.

Its full.

As long as I'm paid the same salary and benefits, it means 1/3 the stress and work load... more down time but same pay!
