Yeah she takes some liberties in what she reports. She was never super clear but I kind of read some of what she was saying on that injury as he was able to play but might not have wanted to. But I got the feeling that was because she saw him hooping in practice, well there's a big difference between that and playing in games.bwgood77 wrote:Kerrsed wrote:Ashley Nevel already stated at the beginning of the offseason that Warren and Jackson would be traded away. She knows something....as does Shams. Of course the FO is going to give Gambo and the AZ Republic Reporter false info, if teams KNOW we are wanting to trade these guys, it lessens the value.
She also stated that Warren was healthy and willing to play at the end of the season. Im wondering if he asked to be traded and everyone is keeping it on the DL. I believe she gets her info from the players themselves as she seems to have a relationship with them and is always interviewing them. Would make sense that she knew about it so early. But thats just what i believe.
The facts are she said Warren and Jackson will not be here next season. Shams just came out about a month later and is stating the same thing. Local reporters are regurgitating the bs that the FO is feeding them that we are not actively trading them.
She said she thought TJ was on his way out, or something like "It's safe to say he won't be here next year" but that was based on him walking out without talking much to the media (like he always does). I think a lot of people are trying to read a lot into his injury, more than may be there and make speculation. He flat out said he wasn't ready physically and mentally, which is similar to what many players said when they don't trust they are completely ready to come back and play on their injury at full throttle in nba games.
But due to the glut of wings and the fact we look like we are keeping Oubre and Mikal it makes sense to see what we can get from our remaining assets, including TJ and JJ.
I mean it's common sense they'd be shopping these guys, but I think she's just going by her gut. I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason she thinks TJ might want out is because he has declined an interview request or something.
I don't for one minute think the suns didn't let him play. He had a potential bonus and if that was the case his agent immediately files a grievance.
I think some of the media gives TJ a bad rap because he doesn't talk to them. But I also think there could be a legit rif between him and the team. I actually wouldn't blame him considering some of their personal moves and issues with past injuries. Currios to see if we learn more once he's gone.
