    I hATE ROBIN LOPEZ

    At worst, I see Lopez as a Jeff Foster type--an unselfish, battler who crashes the boards and throws his body around. He'll block more shots than Foster. I know it'd be nice to get more in the first round but that late, it's not a bad pick. He seems to have good work ethic and could (in two...

    Blazers strike first...

    From RotoWorld. Hopefully this spurs the Suns and others to get this party going. The Blazers have agreed to a deal with the Hornets to acquire the 27th pick in the draft for cash considerations, a Blazers source told ESPN.com. The deal was agreed to verbally between the two teams on...

    Draft Watch: Trade talk heating up

    TJ has made it pretty clear that he doesn't want to come off the bench anywhere. He sees himself as a top-ten PG. Besides, with the lack of quality big men on the Suns roster, it makes no sense to trade Diaw for a PG. How about trying to sign Turiaf and keeping Diaw. Maybe his countryman can...

    Draft Watch: Trade talk heating up

    Just Say No to TJ Along with the obvious health concerns, TJ was a complete cancer when he was forced to the bench with Calderon's play. How happy is he going to be to sit behind Nash, playing 20-25 minutes a game. He's too small and too poor a defender to play with Nash in a two-PG role. He...

    D'Antoni gone, now Nash?

    Nash more valuable than Felton and garbage Unless you can get a up and coming, young PG stud in return, Nash has more value with his contract expiring in a few years. Get a "quality" back up that can play some defense and run the show taking pressure off Steve and keeping him fresher. Keep...

    Carlos Arroyo

    On Rotoworld today: Jameer Nelson is locked and loaded as the Magic's point guard next season, as backups Carlos Arroyo and Keyon Dooling are unrestricted free agents. Arroyo and Dooling will sign wherever they can get the best deal, which probably won't be Orlando. Look for the Magic to...

    Porter To Be Named Suns HC Soon?

    There is no way that Toronto will trade Calderon before TJ if they can avoid it. It's been well documented that the Raptors have put out TJ "feelers" to see what they might get, but there's no way as a Suns fan I want to see him head to Phoenix. He was a malcontent when he came back from...

    SONICS looking to Deal on Draft Day?

    If D'Antoni had fail in a reliable back-up and let the one of the young guys play right from the get-go. Look how the faith Flip put in Stuckey as soon as he was healthy is rewarding Detroit. If you draft a guy in the first round, he should be damn well playing. If not, it was a crappy draft...

    Bring Nash Off the Bench

    Listen I'm the biggest Steve Nash fan in the world. I'm a born and bred B.C. guy who watched him play in the provincial final and have followed him since. It is always a tough question on whether to hang onto star players through their decline, and it's arguable whether he is already in...

    Bring Nash Off the Bench

    Rather than talk of Nash coming off the bench, chew on this idea. How about trading Nash to Toronto for Calderon (I for one don't think Toronto would do it). In another year or two Nash is going to have very limited trade value. If Mr's Sarver and Kerr have huge cahonas, they might lure...

    Bring Nash Off the Bench

    Nobody's even mentioning the fact that Toronto isn't likely to trade Calderon especially for a seriously deficient Barbosa and Tucker. Outside of Deron Williams and Chris Paul, Calderon is the third best young PG in the league. Living in Canada, I get a ton of Raptor games and he is legit...

    Silas to Sign On??

    I'd rather see Hornacek with Silas as an assistant. It's a big jump in commitment, expertise and a whole lot more from "special" assistant coach to head coach. Don't know a lot about Thibodeau but he sure gets great press. With Silas' expertise in tow in might be a great combination.

    Silas to Sign On??

    I'd love to see them hire Hornacek with Silas as assistants and add a keen, innovative guy like Thibodeau.

    Silas to Sign On??

    On Rotoworld from the East Valley Tribune: Mark Jackson --former front-runner to become the Knicks new head coach-- will reportedly be one of the first people interviewed for the Suns head coaching job. Other candidates include Kurt Rambis and Brian Shaw (L.A.), Tom Thibodeau (Boston), Paul...

    IF Mike leaves, who do you want to see coaching this team?

    How about a trade: D'Antoni and Nash to Toronto for Mitchell and Calderon?

    Interesting Comments

    I don't disagree that running the offense through Diaw played into the Spurs hands. If I was Pops, I'd be happy to give Diaw 20 in a methodical post-up game and keep Amare and Nash from dictating the tempo. Any time a team is willing to go away from its strength, I count it as a strategic win...

    Spurs Deserve Credit

    While we all look to point fingers, the fact remains that the Suns got the worst possible match-up for themselves. The Spurs are arguably the best organization in basketball from top to bottom. Pops will be a Hall-of-Fame coach. He empowers his players, including bench guys who over the years...

    Off season plans

    Baron Davis?? Have you seen this guy's attitude. He's got talent coming out of the ying-yang but plays with indifference more often than not. Plus he's fragile. This is the guy you want leading the team?

    Put all the bias aside….can the Suns win this series?

    Yes the Suns can win. That said, they have several guys that still need to learn how to compete on every possession. Barbosa looks lost defensively--turns and watches the ball constantly. I agree that Nash needs to be more agressive offensively right from the get go, but he's always a guy who...

    Sacramento Bee reporting that Suns are after Tyronn Lue

    First, you're not going to get Calderon for the Atlanta pick. Living in Canada, I see a lot of the Raptors. He has been fantastic all year, but since TJ went down he as played at as high a level as any PG in the league. He certainly would be worth that pick (a genuine PG that could lead the...

    After this comment, how can ANYONE stick up for Boris Diaw?

    First, I have no doubt that the Suns current system can be effective in the playoffs, but unless they commit to playing defense, success in the playoffs will be predicated on perfect circumstances. In other words, injuries and/or suspensions (bogus or not) can't deplete a thin line-up because...

    Rebuttle: In Defense of Amare, Calling out Coach and GM!

    It's amazing how little respect Marion gets. He is a rare combination at any level: a guy who consistently guards the other teams best player whether he is undersized (Bosh/Nowinski) or out-quicked (Parker/Kobe) and doesn't demand shots at the other end. It's rare to find a teammate at any...

    Rumor Alert: Suns after Foster/O'neal

    This is a horrible deal. The Suns can't get more than an athletically challenged Foster (rebounder/hustler) and "I'm one bad landing away from surgery" JO? I'd have to think that if they put two of their best 4 players, they could get a whole lot more. Maybe JO of five or six years ago and...

    Preseason Games Thread

    D'Antoni believes that how guys get in game shape. He's never been a guy to hold guys out because of a risk of injury. Hope it doesn't bite him in the rear.

    Not Good: LA radio Kobe-Dallas

    Kobe must have a modicum of control over a prospective trade. The mention of Shaq is interesting. I can't see Kobe in Phoenix for the simple reason that he wants (and needs to be "the" team voice). That is why he struggled with Shaq as another dominant personality on the team. Phoenix is...
