    ESPN insider rumor, Amare could end up in Washington

    http://voices.washingtonpost.com/wizardsinsider/2009/05/roundtable_what_do_the_wizards.html This is where this "rumor" came from. Pretty much the guys idea is a 3 way trade. All of this hinges on the Wiz drafting Rubio. Washington gets: Amare Phoenix gets: Rubio Blatche Mike James (exp)...

    Is Upton progressing before our eyes?

    Baseball might be the hardest sport out there to be consistent at other than golf, so when the regressing thread about Upton was created, I stayed away because it was still very early, and it seems most players go through these terrible slumps, then break out, then go back in, then break out...

    Hill makes up for lost time

    Grant by far was the most enjoyable Suns player to watch this year. He's always been one of my favorites, but he moved into that #1 spot this year because of the effort he gave this year, and the class in which he carried himself through the ups and downs of the season. I really want Grant...

    Suns intend to offer Steve Nash multiyear deal

    I'd like to keep him for next season. Let him play out his deal, and then go from there. Only way I get rid of Nash is if another team offers something that we can't refuse. If not, keep him and let his deal come off the books. His defense will always be a problem, but I'm pretty sure you all...

    Will you watch the remainder of the season?

    I've watched probably 95% of Suns games over the past 10-11 years. I will continue to watch, as painful as it may be to see them get bounced from playoff contention.

    New Team = Same Love

    I have and will always continue to support the team no matter the players, or success. I've been through the good and the bad. The Suns and basketball in general are too big a part of my life.

    how much more longer do you think nash will be here??

    Nash's option is partially guaranteed from what I remember. If the Suns don't pick up the option, they'll still being paying about 50% of his salary to play for another team next season. I doubt Sarver will be down with that. I could see him going in a draft day trade or in a trade sometime in...

    No Playoffs For Amare!

    I think a lot of people underestimated the severity of this injury. My Mom has had similar eye problems and had some of the same proceedures as Amare. It's not an easy surgery to recover from, and you have to be so careful about putting any pressure on that eye. The most important thing right...

    Suns sign Stro Swift

    I still remain optimistic that Stro will be able to positively contribute to this team if his head is in the right place. This kind of system allows players to use their athletic ability, which he is full of. How many of thought Sweet Lou would do anything for us this year besides be the next...

    Suns sign Stro Swift

    Awesome! Hopefully he's in shape, healthy, and motivated. If so, he can be a solid contributor, and should allow us to rest Grant Hill so he's ready for the postseason. Great job Kerr!

    Joe Smith? Happy or not?

    Those kind of eye injuries are not always easy to detect, and can go from okay one day, to severe the next without any major trauma to the eye. It actually may be a good thing for him he was poked by Thornton, because it probably saved him from something even worse in the long run. I did read...

    Optimistic

    I'd like to be optimistic, but I can't say I'm where you are. Remember we also had the MIP in Diaw helping us out in 06 along with Kurt Thomas, and later Tim Thomas. We're going to rely on Shaq more to get some points in the paint, and will probably have to go pretty small with Dudley, and...

    Richardson arrested again!

    Yes, everyone speeds, but I don't think I've ever gone anywhere close to 55 mph over the speed limit. And he's doing this with no car seat for his 3 year old. I have a 3 year, and I can't imagine putting her in that kind of position. That's strike two for J-Rich. And talk about some horrible timing.

    Porter Officially Out!!!!!!

    I just feel like this might mean Amar'e is really gone for financial purposes, though the coaching staff doesn't count against the cap. The Suns are going to be eating a lot of Porter's salary.

    Why is Nash untouchable?

    It sounds like Nash's option is partially guaranteed. I heard on the radio that if the Suns decline his option, they'd still have to pay him $7 mill in salary.

    Anyone have a feeling the deal is done?

    Could be. It seems like things have quieted down a bit, but the ASG is coming up, so things will pick up again next week. I've read both Memphis and Portland seem to think they're out of the Amare sweepstakes. I never though anything would be done before the ASG. After Amare and Shaq represent...

    Kerr on KTAR

    Wow...I guess I'm surprised at some of these responses. I'll always be a Suns fan first, and though it will be hard to deal with Sarver as owner, I'll always support the team. I'm not going to let a cheap ass owner keep me from following my favorite valley sports team. They're too big a part of...

    Detroit - Deal on the Table

    If this is true, and I can't imagine it is, and the Suns are committed to trading Amare, this is the deal they should pull the trigger on. I never thought the Pistons would throw Stuckey in the mix. Suns get cap relief while getting, dare I say, a PG of the future. Too good to be true.

    Amare on the block.

    You're blind as a bat if you really feel that way, but you're entitled to you opinion. Amare has mailed it in. Deal with it, and move on. P.S. I'm not defending Porter either. He's a big part of all of this.

    Amare on the block.

    Yeah, there is no angst toward Sarver or Kerr either...please. Amare is as big a problem as anyone right now.

    Amare on the block.

    Things were great last year when Amare was the focus, and Shaq was the aging role player. Now it's Shaq carrying the load, and Amare taking a backseat. Don't think that sits to well with him, and he's started to cash it in. Someone is always going to have to give up numbers depending on who the...

    Could The NBA All-Star game Effect A Phoenix Trade?

    I think it could change the time frame of any trade. It's good PR for them to have 2 All-Stars representing their team in their city in the ASG. I think anything possibly done with Amare will be done after the game. Not so sure it will be Shaq who's traded.

    Closed Door Meeting Held After Loss to Bulls

    Maybe not worded great. I think he could talk to them about what the team needs are or what needs to change, and to an extent use their opinion and input while considering any offers he's receiving or maybe receiving in the near future.

    Even if they did blow it up......

    There's really nothing that will keep me from watching or supporting the team, but I'm sure a losing product + a weak economy will mean lower tix and merchandise sales. As far as Kerr goes and rebuilding goes...I'm not sure. I mean, he would be starting from scratch, and not trying to patch up...

    Closed Door Meeting Held After Loss to Bulls

    Three things come to mind when I read this. 1. Kerr may have asked Hill and Nash about possible trades and where they'd like to go. 2. Kerr may have an offer he's considering and would like the input of Hill and Nash. 3. We are all digging to deep for something here. My guess is #3. I...
