Look like they said fuck Memphis. Feel bad for Oubre. Went from possibly going to a solid Memphis team to the terrible Suns

Dont feel bad. He is young and making millions
Also gives him a chance to leave that toxic dressing room and do something with his career

That guy is such an asshole. He's far too much of an asshole to be playing for a nice organization like the Warriors. He should definitely move to the Lakers this summer. He'd fit right in.

I'm sure @Wamu would agree wholeheartedly.

Actually I'm a Klay Thompson fan. He sure would look great in Celtics green next year. But I have a better chance of being the next governor of CO. than that happening.

@ Russell Westbrick


It was great to see him lose his temper live last night multiple times. That fella needed some cheese w/ his whine.

Yes the Lakers are assholes, but no he shouldn't go there. He can take his talents to the East next year so the Kings only have to deal with him twice.

But Austin Rivers? Fuck that guy.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

For some strange reason the Phoenix Suns owner is opposed to the Lakers getting Trevor Ariza - They are the worst team in the league - What are they worried about?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

But Austin Rivers? Fuck that guy.

He can actually play some pg.

But, this is such a L for the Suns unless they flip Oubre, Warren or Jackson.

That was the last position on the roster that needed filling.

This trade makes no sense for the Suns.

Da fuq are all these guys getting minutes?

Warren, Booker, Rivers, Oubre, Bridges, Crawford, Jackson, Okobo, Melton....all wings.

For me, outside of God, my Mama and Woj....

There's nobody's word I trust more than Shams....

Candace seems locked in too.

Sounds like it's on the Griz.

Classic bait and switch.

I love that you put Woj right up there with God and your mama. That is respect!

Simple.

Bench Bridges and Jackson for the vets. Try to shoot for 23 wins.

This is crazy.

They didn't even get a pick nor a pure pg.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Suns won the trade with the Wizards......Oubre and Rivers for a nice role player in Ariza but the Wiz gave up too much......

Read somewhere that the Suns had wanted to trade for the Clippers pg on draft night instead of Bridges. Someone in management stopped it though

Both guys are free agents at end of year and still didn't solve their pg issue. Don't see how they won it

How?

Oubre, Warren, Jackson play the same position.

Oubre is up for a contract extension after they just paid Warren.

Rivers plays the same position as Booker, Bridges, Melvin and Okobo.

All they did was clutter up their roster more and they didn't fill the one position that actually needed filling, pg.

Now, if they flip 2 or more of these guys for a legit pg, they win.

Yep.

The 76ers pitched them Bridges and we got SG-A.

Thank you, Philly!!

It’s worth noting that the Suns wouldn’t be in this fix if Robert Sarver, the club’s managing partner, had not reportedly overruled his then-general manager, Ryan McDonough, on draft night.

McDonough reportedly planned to package the club’s pick from Milwaukee and a player taken with the 16th pick to move up and draft Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a point guard from Kentucky.

When Philadelphia offered the rights to Mikal Bridges for the rights to Zhaire Smith and Miami’s unprotected 2021 first-round pick, Sarver pushed for that deal. So the Suns moved up six spots to add their fourth young wing player.

Because the Wiz got Ariza and the Lakers didn't?

I expect more trades since they have a lot at the same position....


Rivers can play at PG to free up Booker to play at SG.....he's not a pure PG but he can fill in at that position.
