Why does Sarver cause people to leave?

by eagleheart on Nov 29, 2008 8:30 AM MST

Brian Colangelo. Joe Johnson. Shawn Marion. Mike D'Antoni. All the people above eventually got fed up with ... well with what? I don't have the answer but they all left in a hurry - dissatisfied with the Suns.

Is Amare Stoudemire the next one to go? He is sounding quite dissatisfied these days. It seems he's not so happy with not being very involved in the offense. The pick and rolls that he and Nash were murdering the Spurs with in the 05 playoffs when Joe Johnson got hurt are all but gone. Watching the Suns this year he gets the ball so far from the basket he's turned into a midrange spot up shooter and that's pretty sad.

This type of stuff never happened when Jerry was in charge.

With Nash out last night

Why didn’t Amare pick the team up and pit it on his back like we’ve seen Nash do at times? Why does Amare look so bored out there? Why do we hear Amare complaining in the press about the number of touches HE gets during a game?
Sounds like Amare is more worried about himself then he is the team.

Something that also never happened with Jerry in charge was this team winning a championship.

11-6.

It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish.

This team is a mess……and with out nash it is a disaster. It is amazing they are 11-6. The turnovers are down right embarrassing. This team has so much potential. Trade Diaw, last night he needed to step up and facilitate and he had zero assist. He did shoot 4 of 5, but he looks slow and bored…..they need to make a change.

I don't know why you've got this weird obsession with hating on Diaw

But he’s not the one that needed to step up last night. Get over it, he’s staying.

Change

Change is needed for sure. We are playing about the quality of a #6 or worse seed, despite our record

…which is pretty much what everyone expected before the season, right?

Change

I’m sure we could get Obama to coach, he’ll only be making $400,0000, but he’s to busy setting up the college football playoffs.

Diaw makes 9 million..........................

and doesn’t earn it. That’ s almost double what Chris Paul makes. I don’t have a problem with him making that much, but he doesn’t earn his paycheck. With that cash we could back up Nash and bring in another big body……Face it his contract sucks and in the NBA, bad contracts kill teams.

Raef LaFrenz

makes $12m. I could go on….

and btw – Chris Paul makes almost double what Diaw does and it maxed out per the CBA

Chris Paul

I don’t think his max contract starts until next year. I think cabezonication was referring to the current contract.

You mean his

rookie contract which is mandated by the CBA?

Little difference: Raef is now an expiring contract and the Blazers didn't sign him to it

You are stuck with Diaw through 2012. He is good, but he is not worth that much. It is one of the 25 worst contracts in the league. Somewhere in this list in no particular order. You could also add Marion and Shaq, but at least they do something significant for all their money.

Emeka Okafor, Sam Dalembert, Nene, Raef LaFrentz, Boris Diaw, Brian Cardinal, Brian Scalabrine, Mark Blount, Jamaal Tinsley, Troy Murphy, Rasho Nesterovic, Larry Hughes, Kenyon Martin, Mike Bibby, Matt Carroll, Nazr Mohammed, Eric Snow, Wally World, Ben Wallace, Erick Dampier, DeSagana Diop, Devean George, Jason Kidd (now), Kwame Brown, Steve Francis (incl. what we still pay him), Antoine Walker, Marko Jaric, Darko Milicic, Marcus Banks, Damon Jones, Bobby Simmons, Stromile Swift, The NY Knicks (Eddy Curry, Jerome James, Jared Jeffries, Stephon Marbury, Mike D’Antoni), Ex Knick Z-Bo, Earl Watson, Rashard Lewis, Tony Battie, Bobby Jackson, Kenny Thomas, Andrea Bargnani, Jermaine O’Neal, Etan Thomas, and Gilbert Arenas considering they could have had him for about $30 mil. less.
