Shams: Suns trade for Miles Bridges

[JCSunsfan]

Sure JC, just a victim of circumstance. Amazing that he continues to have issues! Again - the main point here is people seem to think he'll move the needle. Based on how he's played so far in his career, that's not the case. He's not going to move us from a play in team to a top 5 team.

Why risk it on a guy that like him? Why give up an unprotected 33 pick? Makes no sense.

Listen. He committed a crime in the past and he was convicted. I am not arguing against that at all. I am just wondering how that makes it his fault when his former wife/girlfriend is charged with assault now. He is not the one being charged. I don't care about Miles Bridges at all. I would be just fine if the trade did not happen. But blaming him for the present issue just does not jibe with the facts.

Yeah, I don't get that people are more pissed at Bridges after his wife threw water on him.

One person (especially THAT person) doesn't make a team (especially THAT team), whether he's a scumbag or not.

And now he’s our scumbag

So your saying you can't have a impact if you lose.

I’m saying there should be SOME sign of tangible impact on winning and losing if people are calling you AN IMPACT player.

Just because you don’t like the person it doesn’t change that’s he’s a solid player.

There are plenty of guys who throw up good stats on bad teams that make very little impact. I’ve always thought he was one of them on the court, even before he gave me reason not to like him off it.

Another way to look at it, the Suns should not be pressed to start three guard lineups like they did last season.

At times, Jordan Goodwin played the role of a power forward.

Now the Suns should have a plethora of power forwards, which should improve the team.

How that stacks up against other improved teams remains to be seen.
