Fire up the trade machine!
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Really careless of him to be tweeting that in my opinion. Take it up with the front office and don't become a distraction.
He might just be at Applebee's.

Isn’t Bledsoe one of Boogie’s good friends? Someone make this happen.
RIP FlyGirl
We don’t need anymore of DC recommendations on players to sign.
We are dealing with a 125 million dollar bust now he said sign.
Lets trade Moore, Hill and out first for him
Of course he wants out. The suns are trying to tank so they don’t want to play him starter minutes Incase he lucks them into a couple wins.
He probably told management to trade him during the off-season (everyone knew this was coming with the team tanking) and they asked too much for him.
Phoenix coach Earl Watson has been fired, league sources tell ESPN.

I thought the best thing about the NBA had already happened over the summer. This takes the cake. Hired a coach, fired him 3 games into the season.
I wonder what this means for a Bledsoe trade. I assume they still want to tank this year. Clearly something must have happened today and that’s the reason Bledsoe made this public.

As has been canvassed many times the grand total of valuable pieces to a rebuilding team that the Pels have are Diallo and the 1st, which figures to be middling. And while the Suns have the cap room to take on salary, they have absolutely no reason to do so for such a little return. Best deal the pels could offer:
Moore $8.5mil (3yrs)
Ajinca $5.2mil (2yrs)
Diallo $1.3mil
1st rounder
------------------------
$15.0mil
for
Bledsoe $14.5mil (2 yrs)
And that still leaves the Suns with the unwanted Moore contract for an extra year after they would have cleared Bledsoe. And it leaves the Pels either needing Asik to become an actual real live basketball player again, or signing an unemployed big man off the street because they'd be fresh out of reserves. And it probably makes a big money guard, Jrue or Bledsoe, the 6th man.
And maybe Dell can sell another bad team on a bargain basement deal, but it seems likely that somebody else could beat that, or at least not leave the Suns holding longterm money.
I'm saying that you both 1) do not get humor by Boogie and Scott, and 2) do not understand that Dell etc did not change their mind because of Cousins.
So don't even try to dance with me with your troll game. You have lost before you enter the first character.
Move along.

No, he's saying that the Pels made it absolutely 100% clear from well back in the season that their #1 priority was re-signing Jrue Holiday. That was Demps and Gentry.
Cousins only got involved to try to put the squeeze on Jrue to hod the team together and get him to take the deal.
Now Cousins WAS involved in recruiting and likely the decision making in bringing in Rondo and possibly Clark. I suspect he was also talking to guys like Collison and Lawson as well. But Jrue is a Pelicans organization guy. Boogie didn't walk in and say hey, you should sign this Jrue Holiday guy and have everybody on the Pels go "who"?
42 I have not lost anything on basic facts.
This franchise was trying to keep it in one piece to appease a Player aka DC.
That is why Loser Alvin Gentry was not fired at seasons end.
They also wanted to show DC player stability within the organization by signing Jrue Holiday.
I did make a mistake sorry, I misquote I said it was 125 million it’s 126 million dollar mistake.
