    Stone is scared to do anything, we need to trade him now for a veteran…I pray for Silas to be fired but I’m about to put Stone on my prayer list as Silas

    Just getting him off the team is as good as a pick now. It's never going to be a good pick anyway.

    Whatever we could have had for him last year is way better than what we could have for him now.

    We've turned down a 1st and 4 2nds for Gordon. Complaining about return now would be....well exactly what about 90% of clutchfans would do.

    Just let him go. Take the 20 million in cap space and run.

    This team has acquiesced to players demands/requests for the last few years. This needs to stop. Either trade EG or bench him if he is going to cause a problem. I don't care if it is for two 2nds. You have to get something.

    Signed an offer sheet, but New Orleans matched. Never played in Phoenix.

    Has there ever been an explanation as to why they are so insistent on keeping him?? I suppose as last year was ending you could make an argument that someone w his level of professionalism and veteran presence would be wanted but to turn down potential FRP’s and now devolving into this???

    Just an epic failure by our FO.

    You could've told me that Adam Silver himself passed some executive ruling that it would be the last pick in 4 consecutive drafts instead of wherever Bucks would pick and I'd have taken that so fast it would've Eric Gordon scream like he was being fouled.

    Hell I'd do it for one. The last pick of 2034 draft. Done. A 3rd round pick. Done.

    I'd trade Eric Gordon for a single grain of rice as long as we don't have to take some other team's trash out.
