It’s possible we had a discussion about trading up for either Bridges or SGA and decided on Bridges, but just failed to pull off a trade. You’d think we would’ve just done the SGA trade once we failed to get Bridges though. Unless philly gave us some kind of indication that they’d be willing to still move Bridges.
This is the type of shit that pisses me off. Sarver is the defacto GM. Fuck that guy.In2ition wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 3:50 pm2. Sarver vetoed the trade for the 11th pick for 16 and the Mil pick.
4. When the 16th pick came back up the Suns were prepared to take Donte but Zaire Smith was available, so the Sixers called the Suns and asked for the 16th and the Miami pick. Sarver gave the OK.
I was just about to ask this. They said "ankle soreness"--but did he ever sprain it? And how is it keeping him out this long? It seems our media doesn't even try to find answers.In2ition wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 8:41 amWhat's going on with TJ? Does anyone remember when he hurt his ankle? Maybe it happened in practice, but has anyone seen him at the game on the sidelines? Maybe it's me, and I've noticed Booker, but haven't noticed Warren at all in the past couple games. Sounds like he's out for this game tonight too.
Right. Never remember him being injured.JeremyG wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 5:30 pmI was just about to ask this. They said "ankle soreness"--but did he ever sprain it?

Sure, but that doesn’t fit with the story given by Bob Young, is all I’m saying. His source is obviously McD who said he had a trade lined up for SGA but Sarver vetoed it because he wanted Bridges instead. We didn’t know Bridges was available at the time. The story just made them seem more connected than the actually were.In2ition wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 3:50 pmIt's kind of simple.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 2:09 pmI don’t really see how it was a Bridges or SGA situation.

1. They talked about all three trades prior to the 11th pick happening.
2. Sarver vetoed the trade for the 11th pick for 16 and the Mil pick.
3. They also turned down the 16th for a future unprotected #1 from mystery team. (Was that all it was?)
4. When the 16th pick came back up the Suns were prepared to take Donte but Zaire Smith was available, so the Sixers called the Suns and asked for the 16th and the Miami pick. Sarver gave the OK.
Indiana won't make that trade. You could probably get Tyreke Evans for Ariza.
From rookie Mikal Bridges and Kokoskov having friction during the game to Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker exchanging words afterward, there’s clearly tension and a disconnect with this team right now.
Perhaps, although Tyreke is not exactly what we need (at least once Booker is back). It is said Dipo could miss the rest of the season with his knee injury, so if I were IND I'd want to keep Reke instead of Collison since I also have Holiday and Joseph.

I wonder how many more dubious records the Suns will record this year.
The team is on pace for 13 wins this season.
I am glad people are getting upset, but it pissed me off to see rookie Bridges trying to blow off his coach when he was coming out of the game. If your coach is trying to talk to you, you listen. That was petty of him.Superbone wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 2:38 amI’m actually glad to hear that players and coaches are angry about the Suns being non~competitive. It’s better than them just not caring.

Frustrations boil over after Suns blow it in first quarter again, this time to Trail Blazers
