So what? I’m no Miles Bridges fan, but we’ve pretty much debunked that stupid Michigan state theory haven’t we?
Michigan State has worked out for us so far. <cough>Jordan Ott<\cough>

Flemingo is the future. Livers is not near the athlete. Same with NHD. Keep Rasheer and give him some G League or NBA minutes.
Why are some saying we're gonna lose Gillespie or Goody? Minutes? Money? Trade Royce or Allen and Richards and give CG and Goodwin the money and minutes? The roster is 15 players. I'd like to keep the team we have, especially with the bench and I am in no hurry to trade Rolls Royce or Allen either. Maybe if Jalen Green is healthy we won't have enough minutes. So flip Royce or Allen for an expiring or picks and keep going? Not looking forward to messing with this awesome group of players.

Uh, we have? Our gm, head coach, and two assistant coaches (cleaves and Dwyer) all have msu ties.
And just because Ott seems to be a terrific coach doesn’t negate the fact that he has msu ties.

Yeah, again, so what? Look where we are at!
At worst, the MSU ties are irrelevant, and at best it shows that Michigan State has produced some great minds that have benefited us!
I'm just trying to understand what solid evidence you all have that the MSU tie is a bad thing at this point. We all thought it would be bad, well, guess what? It hasn't been! Coaching across the board has been great and Gregory is in the conversation for exec of the year. It may not last, of course, but that won't be because they all happen to be Michigan State alumni.
what are the lukas going to do with ayton - lebron and luka can't hide their feelings on the court anymore - the fanbase calls for hayes everytime ayton misses a shot he should have dunked - so like several times a game - he's doing to los angeles what he did to phx - the lockeroom has to be a mess
but nobody wants the biggest joke of a center on twitter - im hoping the lukas have to add incentives to move him - im hoping the lukas called ish enquiring about richards and ish told everybody not too laugh to hard when he secretly put the lukas on speaker phone before breaking their hearts
anyone else can have richards for a 2nd round pick but if it's the lukas i want a 1st and a 2nd - meaning being we aren't helping los angeles - here's some free advice tho - pay ayton to leave

It was cool of Ayton to take over for Javale McGee. Somebody's got to do it! Does Shaq still do Shaqtin' a Fool?
For some reason, even though I get it, I never watch Inside the NBA anymore. I think it has to do with streaming or something. When I used to record the games, I would record it and just watch it. Now that it's just there available on YouTubeTV, it's different somehow. Maybe it's not suggesting it or something. I don't know.
Bridges would cost two first round picks that Suns don't have

Who said it was bad at this point? I literally just typed “Michigan State.” I believe that was my entire first post on the matter. Just making one connection why ish might be interested in bridges.

Your second post implies that the MSU ties are somehow a negative, but I was just pointing out that here is no basis in that implication.

@Chaplin - this has a negative implication? You’re reading into things.

lol forget it. I quoted a completely different post. Not worth the argument.

No offense chap, but no, you didn’t. You quoted that exact post. #176 in this thread.

No offense, but yes I did. #181.
Again, doesn't matter. Maybe it's subconscious, but you've certainly not presented any evidence that Michigan State is a reason for much of anything. Thinking that MSU is the only reason why we like Bridges coming from some internet rumor monger is beneath you, as it is for all of us that have a modicum of knowledge of this team. Bridges has his own problems, but being an MSU guy is far, far down the list, if it's on the list at all.

See now you’re putting words in my mouth. Please show me where I said it is the “only reason.” I literally said “just making one connection” meaning there are others. For some reason you want to stir something up that just didn’t exist here. Talk about something being beneath someone…
Here are my my exact quotes in this conversation :
POST 1 - “Michigan state”
POST 2 - “Yup. He has played at Michigan State.”
POST 3 - “Uh, we have? Our gm, head coach, and two assistant coaches (cleaves and Dwyer) all have msu ties.
And just because Ott seems to be a terrific coach doesn’t negate the fact that he has msu ties.”
POST 4 - “Who said it was bad at this point? I literally just typed “Michigan State.” I believe that was my entire first post on the matter. Just making one connection why ish might be interested in bridges.”
POST 5 - “@Chaplin - this has a negative implication? You’re reading into things”

I don't doubt the Michigan St connection.
Ishbia, unquestionably, has a leaning towards Michigan State, Miles Bridges went there, he also has a MAJOR wart that I don't know if Ishbia would overlook if it wasn't for the school connection.
I want nothing to do with Miles Bridges... he beat the piss out of that woman. I don't want to root for that guy, he shouldn't be in the league.

He would singlehandedly kill the good vibes character this team has. I couldn't support watching him celebrate with the Suns. This version of the Suns is one of the most likeable in decades from top to bottom but he'd taint that entirely. Almost any good will Ishbia received for building this team would be gone.

I like that Minnesota but makes no sense for Chicago so it probably happens. I'll always root for Coby after his unadulterated man love for Cam Johnson being drafted. I liked him before the draft for us and have hoped we could acquire him eventually.
