I met Steven Hunter today in Queen Creek. He was at an adventure park for his kids birthday party. I told him that the 04-05 Suns were my favorite to watch. I asked him why he didn’t resign and he said Sarver didn’t want to sign him for more than one year. I always wondered why we didn’t resign him, he was a solid center during his team here.
If I remember right he dislocated his finger early and it through him off so he didn’t do as well as he could have.

That’s way cool that you met him, he seems like a solid guy.

He was a really nice guy. He went out of his way to shake my hand and talk to me. I didn’t want to hog his time up since he was there with his kids. He said he wanted to stay here, he was 23 at the time and loved it here. Fucking Sarver man.

Looks like Stein was right the whole time. I can’t believe that I was actually believing Ishbia yesterday. I could tell that his wording was almost identical to Gambo’s wording in his tweets, so I knew there’s a 100% chance Ishbia was Gambo’s direct source, which is why Gambo was so adamant. But Ishbia obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about himself. I should have known by now not to believe the narcissistic, slick-talking lying conman. If you listen to the beginning of his interview with Burns & Gambo it’s just massive gaslighting and blame-shifting about the Suns’ failures, lol.

You guys think it's a coincidence that he joined this forum 1 day before Ayton was drafted?

If you click Stein’s link, there is no section F on page 61 and it doesn’t say anything about what he’s talking about.

I have no problem with you expressing your opinion. But your not expressing yourself anymore. Aside of some tweets, you're just rehashing the same thing, every day, in every thread.

This place is not getting weird. This place is just getting annoyed by your daily trolling.
Realize that you don't need to respond to everything you disagree with. Show some maturity please.
What’s the “same thing” that I’m rehashing “every day”? If you’re gonna make an accusation, prove it with the receipts.

I don’t know if there’s even one particular topic that I’ve posted about more than once or twice in the last couple weeks.

This place is definitely getting weird. Y’all even ran the site owner off. :lol:
Because you put him in an extremely shitty situation, constantly having to walk on eggshells to appease and defend you. People were getting fed up, yet again, with your constant bullshit, ripping the ownership, Booker and anyone not DA to the point that folks were lashing out. As always, he walked a tight line and balancing act and had to put you above the site.

I'm going to finally use the ignore feature. I hate pulling that card but it's become bullshit with you.

For those unaware, click a profile, profile page loads, Add Foe. We'll see how well this works.

Lol. Nice revisionist history. It had nothing to do with me. People were upset with him for being “too negative” about the Suns and talking about the MSU ties, so he said he would take a break from posting.

I’ve asked that question several times.
Why do people always try to make things personal around here?

Just objectively speaking, who’s more likely to be a real Suns fan?

A: Someone who is upset with the owner for destroying a winning team

Or

B: Someone who wants to defend the owner despite him proving himself to be a bad owner

?

If it’s the latter then I guess nobody on here was a Suns fan all the years that we wanted Sarver out?

It won’t let me copy and paste it on my phone, but it’s right at the bottom of page 61 at Stein’s link. It starts with “(f) No Uniform Player Contract…”

I’m an idiot…that still doesn’t say what Stein is claiming…just that Beal couldn’t receive the payout until after the audit…no one claims otherwise. The payout was always known to be the 15th…the question is whether the buyout would impact that.

Yes, but from everything I’ve seen from both sides, and from my knowledge of contracts in general (while not extremely well-versed in the NBA CBA), I believe Stein is correct. If the contract was terminated, they would have been able to cancel the payment. Stein has had five sources confirm that, while Gambo’s source (based on nearly identical verbiage) was just Ishbia. I don’t think the timing was a coincidence.

Hey, maybe we can talk about this all off-season. Fun!

If only everyone else would sign. :roll: When people bring him into threads, I'm going to respond. But I'm not bringing him up in unrelated threads.

I'm not the one who has a former Suns player in my username 13 years after he was traded. :P
I'm pretty sure at his older age, stoned from cannabis and several knee surgeries, Amare would still put up a fight and show Ayton a few things.
I just find it funny for you to be talking about me not letting him go after 6 days, when you signed up with Amare in your username almost 4 years into his Knicks career.
I'm an OG. Many of us existed before the latest .net, after sose left.
LOL, says the guy who made his account a week before we drafted Ayton... Again, that's rich.
