Or he might just pout and ask for a trade

Well Until he does I would consider it a nonissue

You are crazy! All we need is growth form Len.

Are you predicting we make the playoffs?

I am predicting we will be good. Playoffs? We will see. I am just glad we won't stink and being mediocre for another might give us a shot at another star next year, but dumping the whole team is foolhardy. We are right there...let the guys play.

LMA wanted to go the TX period, but our roster made him think long and hard before he committed, that's a good thing. I don't want to tank and we will not tank. If we get the 13th pick or make the playoffs doesn't matter; what matters is are the young guys getting better.

Let's definitely not throw money at another 30+ guy please.

We trade his brother to the Pistons.

He watches the entire town go crazy for LA who is going to replace him.

Then when LA decides to go to the Spurs, everyone looks at Keef and says "hey buddy, you were our guy all along" .

Keef laughs.....

Well realistically, he had to think he would get suspended at least a few games, for just being at the scene of the assault, and his brother was in it somehow. Plus after Marcus' altercation with Hornacek last year, it was more than likely he would get moved, even if it wasn't to get LMA.

Well if we don't go after another bigger name PF, the job is his to lose. He either steps up, or more than likely, gets shipped out. Hopefully Chandler keeps most guys in check.

Again....I like the Chandler signing and everything happens for a reason!! Wasn't meant to be. Good for the Spurs, it is fun beating them when they are good.

He felt he owed it to string teams along and give all their fans false hope and not allow them to do anything else in free agency for the whole week he decided to just play his little game? cool

The definition of mediocre is receiving the 12-14th pick in the lottery, which is where I feel our franchise will be for the next 4 years. Being a suns fan is like watching the game of thrones. Little victories, all murder and salty feelings

Haha we got played. Wow.

jredsaz · Post #1910 » by **jredsaz** » Sat Jul 4, 2015 4:54 pm

@Gambo987 - On phone with major source now - LaMarcus had his mind made up 2 days before free agency on San Antonio.

So we were not even close? I mean ****. Talk about adding insult to injury.

Hey guys Heat fan here,congrats on the Tyson Chandler signing.

I was very interested in Gerald Green.

How do you guys like his game,do Suns fans want him back? And what do you think his value is on the open market?

letsgosuns · Post #1912 » by **letsgosuns** » Sat Jul 4, 2015 4:54 pm

One thing about this that I did not say prior. Even though I really wanted Aldridge, I never felt he would make the Suns a true contender. I did not think he would make the Suns good enough to beat the Warriors, Thunder, or Cavaliers. I just thought he would make the Suns awesome and relevant again. Also, regardless of what happens, I think the Spurs are going to go downhill fast once Duncan retires. I could care less that they have Aldridge and Leonard on their team with Popovich. Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili is the greatest three player tandem of all time, and Duncan is the key. He has been the key since the day he was drafted. He dominated from the moment he came into the league and he dominated in the playoffs last season. He is unbelievable. Ain't no way Aldridge is going to make up for that. Not happening. Anyway, now the Suns can focus on doing some other stuff and getting back on track.

I disagree, the difference is we are young. If young talent makes you mediocre moving toward greatness, what's the problem? Let's have you talent and suck? What am I missing?

Why is everyone so upset about not getting LMA?! Look at the bright side we get another lottery pick, you know the #13 the Suns try so hard to get each year and are highly successful at getting.

Hoping they go hard after Kyle O'Quinn, now.

BVPN · Post #1920 » by **BVPN** » Sat Jul 4, 2015 4:59 pm

We need to stop going for FA until we have a star, it's fools gold for us. Trades or draft first
