It's true, isn't it? You complain SOOO much about Haliburton, it's become comical.
I think the "it happens" quote would work on a T-shirt.

The GM just said this.I am halfway with Hoop on this and you. I mean PG is 100% a point of need on this team. However, a Veteran PG. Not a rookie who won't contribute for a couple years. We are in win now mode. Having a young rookie PG wouldn't have helped us against the Mavs. I also doubt Monty plays a young player that much anyway.
It probably already is, but kudos on the deflection.I think the "it happens" quote would work on a T-shirt.
Add me to that list, It was inexcusably stupid.But they didn't.
Bitching about it every other day isn't going to change that. But I'm looking forward for many more years of Mainstreet complaining about not picking Haliburton.
So you're going to complain about it for the next several years. Gotcha, good to know.Add me to that list, It was inexcusably stupid.
Yeah, I remember the board was losing it at that pick. We knew Paul’s age at the time of the pick, Halliburton would have helped immediately and also would have been the PG of the future versus Smith who was going to be more of a longer term prospect.Add me to that list, It was inexcusably stupid.
Nobody is arguing that he should have been the pick, but it's still being complained about and it's been 2 years. With no end in sight.Yeah, I remember the board was losing it at that pick.

GMs can’t nail every pick, but I couldn’t understand the logic of not picking him.
That’s fair but I think it still stings for a lot of people. Halliburton could have been the difference maker in the playoffs.Nobody is arguing that he should have been the pick, but it's still being complained about and it's been 2 years. With no end in sight.

That’s totally fair. But given the Suns were/are championship contenders, not taking a player of Halliburton’s caliber during this run is going to sting a bit more than usual.And we could have had Giannis instead of Alex Len. If we were dead set on Center that year though we could have had Gobert.
There's always misses in the draft, it happens. I can understand being upset for a short period of time but people need to move on. It can't be undone. You can hope it won't happen again but it does no good to bring up the error on a damn near daily basis. That's getting into 1Sun territory.
The NCAA tournament and offseason were eliminated that year due to Covid-19. We couldn't get his medical records, we weren't allowed to interview him, we weren't allowed to work him out and his agent informed us that he would not play for us if we drafted him. Other teams such as the Spurs passed on him for the same reason.That’s totally fair.

Please. You've mentioned him a lot more than once today, and pretty much every day.Why don't you discuss it with Chaplin. He has mentioned said player's name at least three times today?
I only mentioned it in a "spoiler" when trying to answer a question.
