Game Day: Suns (31-30) @ Magic (19-42), Wed 3/4/15

[TOO]

With Len in early foul trouble, I'm finding it tough to find a reason to watch this game.

Maybe Archie and TJ will get some minutes.

[carey]

Archie is in at least but Orlando looks like the better more aggressive team right now.

[EDC]

I just can't believe how bad we are at the pick and roll. One of the best and easiest plays in the game.

[carey]

We suck so bad.

Shots fired:

"To be honest with you, we didn't really even have a chance," Sarver told the radio station. "He had mentioned he was interested in coming back, and then when he was talking to Orlando, he just called and said, 'Hey, you've got three minutes to match this offer.'

"And we just let him go. To be honest with you, Channing was a good piece of what we did, but I think we're better off now without him because it allows these younger guys to play."

Frye took exception to Sarver's comment that the Suns didn't have a chance to match the Magic's offer.

"I think we have to take what that front office says with a grain of salt," Frye told reporters on Tuesday. "I think right now they need to focus on their own team. I think we had many negotiations between [us and] the Suns."

Someone else mentioned the Sarver stuff in another thread. I was going to call bullshit on it then and I'm calling bullshit on it now. Maybe Frye is using the Dragic stuff to cover his own story but I've always said where there's smoke there's fire with Sarver and we know he can be a petty hothead. Most likely, the suns and Frye's agent negotiated back and forth all year, it probably got contentious at times, Frye got a better deal and gave the Suns a chance to match. I don't think he came out of the blue one day and said, "You've got 3 minutes" in some dramatic James Bond type of scene. It was probably leading up to that point.

yes, throughout the year back and forth negotiations. then sarver told frye go ahead and try to get the best offer out in the market or anything higher than 6mil/yr. frye did. and the decision not to match was an easy one for sarver.

We suck so bad.

It must be because of the lack of fan support.

[EDC]

Magic taking a page out of our book with the sloppy passes. Suns taking advantage of it nicely.

Suddenly, we're alive.

[carey]

I hate that Thorton is getting time. MORE ARCHIE.

Yeah, I'm not sure what his current role on the team is. There's no reason that every single minute of his shouldn't go to TJ or Archie.

[carey]

Tucker with 19 in the 2nd half.

[carey]

Oladipo is torching Bledsoe & I think he's given up even trying to guard him at this point.

[carey]

This is what we have come to, trying to scratch out a win against the 6th worst team in the league.

[Sunsfan4life]

Wasn't that a walk on Bledsoe?
Nice hustle play.

Tobias Harris does nothing for this team defensively next year. I don't want us to blow our wad on him as a FA.

[carey]

Jeff trusting Bledsoe to make FTs but clearly he was tired of losing on buzzer beaters because he fouled up 3.

[carey]

PJ was stupid he should of known he touched it and now Orlando gets to draw up a play. We knew PJ had to do something dumb before the night was done.

Jimmy Butler or bust. S&T Knight. Trade Tucker give his minutes to Warren. Play Archie.

[carey]

That was a great play by Knight. Wow.

[Furlanfufi]

GREAT play by Knight!!!
