"Ryan how do you sell the team to free agents after what happened with Bledsoe saying he doesn't want to be here, you get blown out three times and the image of this franchise is at an all time low"?

I didn't get any of the first 3, and only a little of the last one. You have a hard time answering a question that says you are the fault of the team being at the worst part in 50 years. He didn't answer it, really, and you could tell the question hit home. The reporter didn't even look him in the eyes as he asked it.

Exactly. I am not a fan of Ryan's, but there isn't a right answer there.

So what the chances Ryan gets fired in the offseason? I’d be pretty surprised if he is still the GM after this season.

How long was his extension he just got?

Wasn't it 3 years?

Yeah that's a bit of a bitch move, but at least he had the balls to ask a hard question instead of lobbing up a softball that the Phoenix media is known for.

Yes, I believe it was but this is quite a clusterfuck.

Q: How do you go about evaluating a new coach for this team?
A: We hope Triano is it...
Oh, boy. Here we go again.

I honestly expect James Jones to be our GM next season. He’d be cheap salary wise and his closeness with Lebron will give Sarver an idiotic hope that he could sign with the Suns next year.

yeah, that really pissed me off. I get that you can't tell the team they are playing for an interim the entire year, but this is how we got into this mess. Actually, it starts at the top, and with an owner that doesn't want to pay for FO talent/experience. (But to be fair, maybe nobody wants to work for him)

"That's what most people thought I was [doing] but I actually wasn't making a gun," Jackson said, according to azcentral.com. "I kind of wanted to put up the middle finger to him but I didn't do that because I felt like I was really being watched, so I kind of halfway did it."
According to Jackson, the fan had been heckling him throughout Saturday's game. He said he needs to learn to not react to fans in that manner.
"He called me a few names as I was coming out of the game so that's what really set me off," Jackson said, according to azcentral.com. "But it had been going on from the same guy the entire game. Fans can come and sit so close and say whatever they want to say and us as players can't react in any type of way. It's something I'm still learning."

Harkens back to his incident in school. Not a great sign 3 games in.
