The Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough has brought players in and shipped them out like it’s his job. Most of the decisions he has made have blown up in his face, but not for a lack of trying. He was asked about any decisions he would take back via Arizona Sports:
“I think in retrospect trading Isaiah Thomas when we did was a mistake,” he said of last season’s trade deadline deal with the Boston Celtics. “I think sometimes in the recruitment process things sound better in July (luring Thomas in free agency) than they do in November. He wanted more, he wanted a bigger role and I understand why: He’s a talented player,” McDonough added. “In retrospect, we should have carried him into the summer. If there’s one (decision) that stands out, if I could get a mulligan, that’d be it.”
Ever since Steve Nash left, things haven’t been the same in Pheonix. Isaiah Thomas has found a great situation in Boston, but I believe he would have produced well with the Suns had he stayed there- and most importantly he would have put asses in the seats for a team who is 21st in attendance.
