OAKLAND, Calif. – If it’s not bad enough that the Suns are well, really bad, now they’re being disrespected by the teams they play.
First, there were the comments Denver guard Will Barton made when he disparaged the Suns on a podcast after their 48-point loss to San Antonio last Wednesday.
“I’m going to be the first to say it,” Barton said. “They’ve got to send the whole Phoenix team to the G League for that. I’m sorry. Except Devin Booker and T.J. Warren. The rest of them have got to go to the G League.”
Those words led to a skirmish between Barton and Suns guard Troy Daniels less than three minutes into the Suns-Nuggets game Saturday.
