The apathy for this team is getting stronger by the day. No one (including the Suns) expects them to beat one other team. No matter who they put on the floor. Now opposing teams sit players regularly against the Suns.

Watched a couple of minutes here and there last night. Boring badly basketball of the highest degree. My anger is turning into a numbness.

Screw Bickley and this blatant click baiting cry for attention. He has no business getting into Sarver's business, nor asking the NBA to intercede. Such a crybabypuss maneuver. So we had a ***** GM who F-d up the draft, trying to imitate a flawed tanking strategy.

No need for outside interference here. We are bad, but its not death sentence bad. Furthermore... yall be careful what you wish for when demanding a sale.... how did that work in Seattle ?

I agree...that article was a turd that seemed to just make up a bunch of stuff and claim them as true.

Nah, it's a start. It hasn't just been one GM, it's been a long, slow deterioration leading to death. It's only getting worse. When other teams are missing a couple of their best players they're usually at least competitive. Or they address their needs in a semi-timely fashion. More media needs to call out this ****. It's historically bad.

Get a PG and a PF. Genius eh ?

I just not into strong arming private businesses. I think Sarver has made improvements in the FO by hiring Jones and sacking McD. IMO, need to let Jones and Kokoskov have their hand at improving the roster. I think these are the best BB minds in the FO since D'ant and Kerr.

I have even said that the only way Sarver would sell is if Silver forced it like Sterling. But he'd have to get into a mess. There have been franchises near the bottom for far longer than the Suns have been, with terrible GMs and owners.

But all Bickley does here is write an article based on a lot of conjecture and it will further piss off the fanbase and if Sarver ends up doing anything because of stuff like this it will probably be some knee jerk ill thought out terrible move.

Goran's game will age well even as he gets older because of his basketball IQ.

He also didn't play many mins his first couple years in the league reducing his wear and tear.
