Pretty sure FF teaches in South Korea at some point. That’s how I understood the flag.

This is a stupid thing to be wasting multiple posts on. If it's relevant Suns news, post it and I appreciate 'Bone for posting anything related to a player on the roster.

If you're morally appalled, then don't click on it! It took longer to comment than to just scroll past.

Agreed.

I didn't say what 'bone was posting was a problem. I didn't ask him to stop. I didn't say he shouldn't be posting anything.

I gave an opinion of what it looked like to me what he was doing. That opinion could be wrong; I'm not even trying to argue or debate whether that opinion was right.

I will say, I think PHNX is trying hard to spin Bridges positive…but they try to spin everything positive.

Getting on the Internet to tell fans that you're no longer a fan is the corniest shit ever.

It's like being a street evangelist. No one wants to hear that.
Awesome. Bravo. Glad you could contribute. Stay lit 🇰🇷 Nobody said I'm no longer a fan. Just that this is a bullshit decision by the FO. Remove all of the domestic violence shit and it's still a bullshit basketball decision. Care to argue otherwise? But I'm glad you felt the need to call me out. Take a bow. The Internet is a place to dump a whole lot of bullshit. Calling me out in the process of doing so, dumping my corny shit in the Internet, in a corner of the Internet with a limited audience... Well done.
I didn't mention you at all.
Probably just the timing. Right after my post(s) about how I felt about being a fan of the team after such a shitty trade. Not your fault. I had a few beers after the shit trade and probably let it out poorly towards several folks here, you included. Apologies.
Good of you to apologize. TBH, I saw that Korean flag on the post and was like WTF is this shit. Thought it better to wait until later to bring this up but it's completely inappropriate here.

BTW, I am a Korean by birth, American by nationality, and Hong Konger by permanent residence.
Has nothing to do with Korean disrespect. It's an inside joke, if you will, because I personally know FF. It's a geographical reference. Nothing more. You felt offended by it and I didn't give context in the post that offended you. My apologies.

You just don't want to hear about it. Got it. Why don't you post all the news from here on out so we can know what's appropriate or not.
I do think the overall theme of the stories has trended positive on the trade, but imo that's not because you are slanting the news, more likely because the overall content being put out by the Suns and their associated media and fans try to talk about things in a positive light when talking about our team. I have also seen you post several articles and links about criticism or problems with Bridges, so as I say, I don't think you are injecting bias or wishful thinking in your article posts.

I appreciate all the time and work you invest in posting news and content here, Bone. The site would not be the same at all without you. Please feel free to continue posting news about Bridges here. And similarly, folks who are upset about Bridges coming to our team can keep posting about that. If anybody gets sick of anything, there is always the button to mute a thread, or mute a given poster. Or take a break. Peace and love <3

Ok, this is fine, then. Without the context, it sounds as if you're putting FF down for being Korean. Thanks for the apology.

I'll say one thing. If Ishbia wanted to fracture the fan base and alienate some pretty substantial shards of it, he is doing a good job of it.

I bet they are looking for a way to reroute Bridges.

I really hope that’s true but I’d be shocked if Ishbia feels any compunction whatsoever about bringing on ex Spartans at extra cost.

I bet that they are going to attach additional assets to offload him to a third destination.

No universe where bridges is getting rerouted. He’s a sun for next season. Gotta accept it already.

I wish that were true but I doubt it. My understanding is that it's taking longer to complete due to the other teams involved. But we'll see, I guess. We went a whole week without a press conference or comment on the trade. The Suns have to know how controversial it is and be strategizing on how to tackle said controversy. The Michigan State angle doesn't help anything.

Gambo has pretty strongly said there is nothing else going on and the trade is still happening. Also Bridges was sitting with the team at the summer league game. He wouldn’t be doing that if he wasn’t coming.

I like your optimism! :D

A lot of it will be on Bridges. Not only does he have to play really well on the court and be a difference maker, he's got to be a nearly perfect person off the court and say all the right things. None of which will be easy due to the contentious relationship with his ex and their joint custody of their kids. I really wonder how that's going to work especially with him living here.

When I got divorced, we weren't allowed to move very far away from each other due to the joint custody of our kids. I assume there are exceptions based on somebody's job like NBA player. On the other hand, my ex and I made a pact to remain friendly and do everything that was best for our kids. Something, Bridges and his ex have made a very poor example of thus far.

I didn't see that. That's a very strong indicator then.

Absolutely. Imagine using an unprotected '33 pick to acquire a guy you will try to flip later. This is copium of the highest purity around laced with a bit of hopium haha
