    8/23/2004 Insider

    I think, as this list indicates, it behooves the Suns to wait until next summer to make a big move for a center. There will certainly be plenty of names out there: Ratliff, Z, Curry, Candler, Brown, Dalembert...etc. And, as B. Colangelo has done a good job of acquiring assets, the Suns will...

    USA VS Lithuania - Spolier!

    regarding free throw shooting, they're not quite automatic....Serbia and Montengro lost to Argentina cause they missed a bunch of free throws down the stetch.

    Moorad facing three key decisions

    As Jack Cust has shown, he is no where near Richie Sexson. Just as BK has similarily flamed out in Boston. Guillen always seemed more like a big problem with Brenly then anyone else. But your points indicate my biggest criticism of Joe, the lack of a consistant philosophy. Is this soley Joe's...

    Dessens traded to Dodgers

    Milons apparantly spent most of the year in columbus with a line of .273/.321/.401(http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/Stats/stats_Asal_sga.shtml) 10 HRs and 25 SBs. He has recently been promoted, and has been struggling in 39 ABs in Vero Beach. Sounds like a decent prospect for a guy we had...

    Dessens traded to Dodgers

    sounds like another toolsy athlete....we could prolly use a little more athleticism in our minor leagues, but he sounds like a long-term type of thing

    Moorad facing three key decisions

    I think I was misunderstanding you, Chris. In terms of re-signing Sexson, I do go both ways. I am not sure if we should. I think Moorad needs to choose a direction, and strongly move that way. EIther we are going to contend or we are rebuilding. I think Joe's biggest flaw was that he tried...

    Moorad facing three key decisions

    But Bob, i'm sure Joe did not expect that the diamondbacks would be so bad and thus schilling would waive his no trade clause. Did you expect them to be this bad. And it was more than risk of losing him without compensation, they flat out do not have money in the budget to sign a 36 year old...

    Moorad facing three key decisions

    It is important to remember that Schilling was not coming back here and would not allow himself to be traded at the deadline. So Joe could've cleared his salary or let him go at the end of the season. As for Overbay, at 26 (now 27) he was hardly an elite prosepct. Since May his monthly OPS...

    Moorad facing three key decisions

    The Sexson trade was nearly equal in terms of salary changing hands, so I do not think Richie prevented us from signing a pitcher. edit: Sexson cost an additional 2 million then the players sent to Milwaukee.

    Like the trade or not, you cannot say players like Richie Sexson are a dime a dozen.

    USA vs Australia ***SPOILER***

    Austrailia played zone exclusively. Team USA played much better againist it. Guys like Marion, Amare, and Odom some easy buckets by finding the open spots in the middle. They got Duncan the ball by using taller players like Odom and Lebron to make entry passes. Team USA finally realized that...

    D-Backs intend to sign Sexson, top pick Drew

    I don't think offering him arbitration is such a bad idea. If he accepts it we're only locked in to a one year deal, not a bad idea given the surgery. Even if the team is in the top 15, we get two picks.

    D-Backs intend to sign Sexson, top pick Drew

    I imagine it is standard operating procedure. Rizzo handles all the signings of draft picks does he not?

    Congrats to Terrero!

    i don't think overbay can be classified a star and doubt he will ever be. Penny is a nice player, but that was a trade that had to be made. I don't see how you can argue otherwise.

    If great defenses are the reason shooting in the NBA...

    my point, Lars, is that you are beating a dead horse. most people here will agree with a general deterioation of fundamentals in the NBA from the 70s and 80s. I don't think anyone is arguing that. What I see is the same tiresome debate on the extent of the deterioation. Plus you really do...

    If great defenses are the reason shooting in the NBA...

    You can get off your soapbox Lars. I think every single person who has come to this board in the last two weeks understands your opinion on the matter.

    Mavs get Dampier

    i think we can all agree once and for all the suns never had interest in Dampier

    USA vs. Greece

    I agree with Wally. Jefferson should be stuck at the end of the bench with Okafor and Anthony and prolly Marion. LeBron has to play more. At 6-8 and his passing skills, he a great option to pass over the zone and make the entry pass, and he showed today he wants to play. I think Amare has to...

    USA vs. Greece

    Larry Brown said it himself following the loss to PR, " I coach execution, I don't coach effort." This team continues not to execute, especially on defense...Brown's forte. Plus the substitution patterns and lineups continue to blow my mind.

    USA vs. Greece

    I have to say that after actually watching a game, the absolution of Larry Brown by many people here is wrong. I think his substitution patterns have been very poor.

    USA vs. Greece

    Lebron James is showing why he is great and guys like Anthony are not, and why he should be playing more.

    USA vs Puerto Rico *Spoiler*

    I think the international game is very close to the college game: the short three pointers, true zone defeneses, and shorter game. Like college, the three point line and zone defense allow athletically defeicent teams to stay much closer to athletic teams, and like college the international...
