    Default No surprise, Dragic balling without Isaiah Thomas stealing minutes

    One of Bledsoe or Thomas needs to go.

    I hate that this team is ruining its unequivocally best player.

    He's really not that much better than Bledsoe. If at all.

    Suns should trade him to LA and assure we don't keep our pick

    There is just no reason for 3 PGs of that quality on a team though. Not really sure why they re-signed Bledsoe after paying the pizza man

    Yeah, they need to trade one for a big. But you never let talent walk away for nothing.

    He is definitely a more skilled player, and better at running the point. Pretty noticeable gap if you watch the two consistently, just saying.

    True. Their GM has brains unlike Kupchak.

    Dragic is a very nice trade chip

    Kupchak is a sly mother****er. Just made a huge mistake getting Dwight and Nash. But at the time, that team looked hella stacked. Nobody predicted that implosion.

    Dwight might have blind-sided him but Pau was also allowed to walk for nothing. Horrendous

    not true at all

    hindsight is always 20/20

    most were saying lakers heat finals in that off season

    then they got smacked opening night and a lot started to change their tone from then on

    I thought defense was gonna be an issue, didn't think injuries would be that bad though

    I knew there was no way they would be higher than 3rd seed in the West. But a lot of uncertainties were around how healthy Dwight was going to be.

    Bledsoe is a better defender but dragic has that swag.

    IT is the best scorer of the three but he's a liability on D.

    Been saying this for awhile now. Dragic is that one guy who wants to play for the Suns, he bleed purple and orange.
    He got upset by the Suns once when they trade him to the Rockets for fking Aaron Brooks, and Dragic still chose to return to Phoenix and play out of his mind, getting that MIP and third team. Even bringing his bro aboard this last post season.

    And he hasn't even shown to be a poor personal, on and off the court. But Phoenix keeps doing shit like signing Bledsoe to close max and bringing in sixman PG IT. I understand that you need talents on a team to win, though not a top notch player Dragic remains to be a baller himself.

    Keep doing shit to this guy Phoenix, he will be a later bloomer. Better start appreciating him a little, before he takes off, and we are left with Bled and IT to run point

    I could find posts that point to the opposite but it's realistically somewhere in the middle. I knew they'd suck because 1st year superteams never work (that's why I knew cavs would struggle like this) and I knew Dwight didn't want to be there and they had an atrocious bench. People just see star power and assume automatic title.
