    Yo Spurs fan. Bad news.

    1) Your big free agent signing is a bust

    2) Its gonna cost you for years

    3) The league and the fans are in love with the Warriors who are both good at winning AND fun to watch (just like my beloved Suns but better).

    4) Your team wasnt special. Your team wasnt important. They were just boring. Duncans place amongst the greats will always be "obligatory". You have to put him in because the Spurs won in these weird, off years but he never wow-ed us. He was never exciting. He was just there.

    5) We are about to enter a golden age as the Warriors proved you could win without being boring and 28 other teams will try to copy their style (except of course the Spurs who dont like fun). The Spurs will just be a bad memory no one talks about.
    Talking all this in week 2 of the season...Pathetic. Not surprising, though, coming from a Suns fan.

    You should BE so lucky to have witnessed your team get dominated by the greatest franchise in pro sports of the last 20 years. .

    is DSF still guzzling Woptoni's semen after all these years?

    I swear, D'antoni wasn't as bad at using his bench as the numbers/reputation/everyone with an IQ above room temperature say he was

He might not go as deep as some other coaches but thats a different argument. Leandro Barbosa won sixth man of the year coming off D'Antoni's bench. Boris Diaw, Kurt Thomas, Tim Thomas, James Jones etc all got significant playing time while he was coaching the Suns.

    The "notorious" reputation is one of these narratives that starts in the media but is actually not based on fact (as you have proved). It started when D'Antoni had no bench to use in the playoffs against the Spurs in 2005 (he was 30th that year) and local media scolded him for it. Never-mind that he didnt have any real bench outside of Jim Jackson and a second year Leandro Barbosa to play.

    I actually spoke to his brother at length about it in the fall of 2005. He said his brother would play more guys if he had them, but management kept budget so tight they had to fill out the roster with garbage.
    You mean the brother who he hired purely out of nepotism who had no business having an assistant coaching job in the NBA? That brother?

    Woptoni literally said during a press conference, "I'm not here to develop players" his last year in Phoenix. Sarver is a cheap , but one big reason Sarver always sold his draft picks during that time was because Woptoni made it clear he had no intention of trying to turn mid to late 1st round picks into rotation players.

    Not true. He said that when the team sold the draft rights to Rajon Rondo in 2005 (for the reasons you specified). And it didnt mean he didnt develop young players (Barbosa, Joe Johnson, Stoudemire, Diaw etc), it meant he wasnt interested in using the dwindling cap space on rookies when he thought they were close to a championship. He'd rather use the money to sign veterans for the short term.

    Again, one of these media narratives that gets invented by lazy pundits.

    I think you got the logic backwards btw, I think Sarver sold the picks to avoid the luxury tax (minimum salary vets didnt count against the luxury tax) and D'Antoni said "thats fine, I probably wouldnt use them anyway". Before 2006 I didnt even know that you could SELL a draft pick. Did anyone?

    At the crux of almost every Suns move of the last ten years has been Sarver.
