LOL, wow. I hope they actually put the thing up and that Sarver sees it. That would be freaking amazing.

Another thing about Triano is, for what it's worth, Steve Nash loves him. Played for him for the Canadian national team, if I remember correctly.

I read somewhere that Nash called to congratulate him

It's no fun rooting for a laughingstock.

Sure it is. I'm laughing at them on a daily basis, that's almost the same thing right?

Shrug these kinds of things happen when you rebuild through the draft, ie tanking. Players get frustrated with all the losing.

All the players that people talk about us losing weren't that good to begin with. The best of the bunch is probably Dragic. It isn't like we lost an all star caliber player like plenty of other franchises have in the last few years. Utah and Indiana both lost much better players than we did and people aren't making a huge deal of it. This just comes with the territory. Look how the press is treating Philly this year. All of this will blow over soon enough.

If we hit big with this upcoming draft and Booker/Jackson continue to improve we will be in really good shape for the future.

We still need a top level PG.

It seems everybody is laughing at Sarver, rather than the players or fans. It's widely recognized that he's the source of all the problems with the franchise. I don't like Sarver, so I don't take offense.

Currently it would be really nice to have a great passing guard but decent point guards seem pretty abundant. In the long term if Booker and Jackson can create for others I don't think we need a top tier pg to play next to them but I also wouldn't say no to a great young pg prospect.

I wonder what Sarver thinks reading article after article saying that he's the problem?

I'm sure he will. He's a smart kid. Plus, $35K isn't chump change for him... yet.

And how do you know this? Here is what I know. Steve Nash loves him as a coach and he quit the Canadian team until they brought Triano back. So, now. I have a choice. Do I respect Steve Nash's opinion or OO's. Hmmm. We don't have much else to go on. We will later. So we will see.

I'm sure he doesn't read it, but even so I doubt that would deter him. He probably thinks he could sell his turds for consumption, thinking they will make the buyer smarter.

You dont have to respect my opinion, I dont care. That's why we're all entitled to our own. 8-)

Triano may have grown leaps and bounds since his stint in Toronto, where he won like 35% of his games, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

The problem is that we've been Jekyll and Hyde. Bringing in IT was a huge mistake. What was that supposed to accomplish? Going after Aldridge and ending up with Chandler in a failed attempt. Choose a direction and stick with it! I think that maybe we're finally there. We'll see. Pulling the franchise in two different directions at the same time is what has set us back. The Knight move for the pick. Ugh!

I'm not advocating for Triano, because I'll admit to not knowing if he is any good or not. I'm curious what the roster looked like when he was coach in Toronto? 35% win/loss rate isn't good at all, but it needs some context imo.
