If we traded for SGA we wouldn’t have traded for Bridges. Shai could help us out at a position of need, but in the long run I think we might be happier with Mikal. I’m not rending my garments over that deal falling through.

I know some here liked Frank during the draft but I've watched him a lot and he's not what we need. Not about a change of scenery.

I'm one of Frank's biggest supporters here, but I agree that he's not what we need right now. He would be great on a team with Booker / Doncic / and the guy Bender was supposed to be.

Nikitilina has been awful. Like, worse than Canaan, Okobo, and Melton by every statistical measure I can find. Just say no. You can find G-League players who are better.

I'm not sure there's an NBA player there. Maybe he can carve out a niche as a defender, but right now he's DJ Strawberry.
Re: Suns News: Week 7 11/26-12/2
But what about his league leading assists? And how did I ever agree that it's going to take until 2025 for him to "get going" in your words?

Indeed. And do you know it is current suns leaking it? Maybe he got it from McDo, to show that he had a plan for PG.Superbone wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 12:53 amSensationalism.

I thought it was known McD wanted SGA but Sarver wanted Bridges. And regardless, he took Bridges and still signed Ariza. He could've put that money towards a PG.Indy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 10:16 amIndeed. And do you know it is current suns leaking it?

Re: Suns News: Week 7 11/26-12/2
Since Bridges wasn't his guy, he probably thought that he wasn't going to be ready to play and was stubborn on his plan to sign Ariza. His stubbornness on this could have been his demise, but we may never know for sure.ShelC wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 10:25 amI thought it was known McD wanted SGA but Sarver wanted Bridges.

Re: Suns News: Week 7 11/26-12/2
Fair point. Which PGs signed deals in that range, that we could have got? I know it was only 5 months ago, but I can't remember many PGs changing teams. Maybe Parker.ShelC wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 10:25 amI thought it was known McD wanted SGA but Sarver wanted Bridges. And regardless, he took Bridges and still signed Ariza.

Watching Luka highlights, I wish we wouldn't have got the #1 pick so we could have went against the conventional norm and picked him 2nd or whatever. He's so good already and incredibly entertaining.
The painful highlights, for those that are interested in being punched in the gut:

Agree. Suns don't need another crapshoot project on the roster.
See if Okobo keeps evolving. See if Melton can develop.
Crawford can mentor.
But no Niki. And no Fultz, either.
Tired of the revolving door of malfunctioning/tarnished assets.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...
