    Hawks reported to offer JJ max contract

    I am definitely a guy in your corner and will back you up on this. The Suns put an awful lot of into developing this guy and I don't think they will let this guy go. He and Amare are the long term future of the team.

    Larry Hughes to Cleveland

    Sometimes desperate people do desperate things. Ferry did overpay because they did not want to come out of this offseason empty handed. If they were in a position to wait Michael Finley would have been a good pickup for the Cavs.

    ESPN Rumor Mill- Finley

    I would imagine that Finley as well will wait and see what happens with JJ. If for some unforseen reason the Suns do not want to match, Finley would be in the best position to fit right in with a championship contender. The Suns may use Finley as negotiating chip with JJ and it is a good fall...

    5 Amnesty players

    You have to add playing time into the equation. If LaFrentz is making big money he isn't going to be happy with a little playing time. If they are going offer big money for Jefferson and Perkins, they will want to get them to a point where they produce results for the money. The only way...

    Suns after Austin Croshere?

    Exactly. This is why someone had quoted the front office as saying they are going to sit back and wait in any other FA signings. They were aware of this "amnesty" clause because they can get some guys on the cheap. They will sign small contracts because their original contracts are going to be...

    Suns after Austin Croshere?

    He definitely will contribute more than Paul Shirley, remember we have to have 14 players and somebody has to fill PS seat. I just hope he can contribute some journal entries as well. The Suns will definitely will target face up players and Croshere is that kind of player. He has a very good...

    Hawks reported to offer JJ max contract

    I agree, it is a business and you let your market forces determine the value. It was earlier posted that someone expects us to match an offer, I want to be more specific. I think the Suns will match the dollar amount of another teams offer. If JJ is offer 5 years 70M, I am in agreement...

    UFA Centers in our price range...

    I think Elson would be a great fit, if Hunter wants too much money maybe we could do a sign and trade with SH. We could possibly get them to sign DerMarr Johnson or Wesley Person (bring back former Suns) and send either of them our way to balance the deal. Person could be our designated...

    Chapman wanted Dwyane Wade for Suns in '03

    Hey, is that directed at me. I have not concocted a Theo Ratliff trade in over two weeks, come on.

    Garnett rumors?

    I agree, no way would the Suns management would ever want KG. He is a taller version of Marbury, why would you want another divisive personality on the team that gets a long so well.

    Suns/JJ close to deal

    I agree with Sunsfan, the Suns would have made the Q for KT trade no matter what, D'A even stated that he had been after Kurt for a long time. JJ has much more versatility than Marion, Marion does not bring the ball up, does not shoot a high percentage of 3's. Some of the production that JJ...

    Ekezie waived by Hawks

    6'9" 270 has about the same frame as Jahidi White, definitely has more offensive skill. Averaged 5.5 Pts and 4.3 rebounds in 17 minutes a game last year for Atlanta. He could be an adequate backup. The Hawks are very thin on the front line now, with only Jason Collier as the only true center...

    7/5/2005 Insider - Free-agent drenzy

    It is so funny that Marbury keeps getting marketed around the league, I think everyone thought Stephon would end his career in NY. Now Atlanta might be his final resting spot, I wonder if he still has any friends left at Georgia Tech or if he has burned all of his bridges there.

    UFA PGs who might be falling thru the cracks

    The only team that truly needs a starting point guard is Atlanta. Maybe the Lakers but it sounds like they are in the market for Antonio Daniels. I could see Damon Stoudamire (he and Phil could light a few up) end up there as well and there is rumor that GS might use its amnesty on Derek Fisher...

    UFA PGs who might be falling thru the cracks

    I mentioned him before but Juan Dixon. His original contract with Washington was 3 years for 3.M. The Wizards decided not to pick up his 2.1M option for next season mainly because Arenas being on the court was key to their success. Steve Blake was mentioned before but he is probably all they...

    UFA Centers in our price range...

    Ely might be a possibility with the Bobcats taking Sean May in the draft. Brezac is their center and they may need a backup, Voskuhl may fit because of his expiring contract is attractive next summer if they fail to sign any FA this offseason. It may cost Barbosa as well since a young player...

    You have to mind your future picks

    The Suns have been trading 1st round picks in the offseason when they want to secure cap space to sign FA's. It was necessary last year to add veteran players to improve quickly, done. It was done this year to be able to match offers to their own FA (JJ), done. From here on out I don't see...

    Donyell Marshall Update

    Haslem is Miami's Ben Wallace, I don't think they will let him go. I think there is more of a chance that Payton ends up there instead of SAR. Payton's best chance to get a ring is in Miami.

    Hunter's market value too high?

    Typical media misrepresentation, "apparently Hunter wants out of Phoenix". Why can't reporters be straight forwand and say "apparently Hunter wants more money out of Phoenix", that would be an accurate assessment.

    Donyell Marshall Update

    He will not start in either SA or Miami, so who sayes he really wants to start. I put up a quote from the Oregonian from him where he stated he "want to win and win big". I think he knows his limitations, when he was the go to guy, his teams did not win. If he wants to win he is going to...

    Compairing Bells numbers to Q's

    If Folster had wind that Barbosa might get traded, it may be for the big man you desire. Barbosa and Bell are now kind of redundant.

    Kerr on Bell before FA

    This is the second suggestion that SAR is a good fit for SA, I just think the Suns should head them off at the pass. SAR would be a good fit in Phoenix because he can play the 3 and 4.

    Summer League Roster

    That is probably why all the Euros were selected in the 2nd, teams were more willing to take a risk on a Euro that still could develope than draft an NCAA player, the San Antonio effect.

    Compairing Bells numbers to Q's

    That is my read on it as well and I think Nash might have had the ear of the organization. As much a Q added this year I Bell will add next year by good shot selection and more on the ball the defense. Q has admitted that would rather bang down low than play on the perimeter, that is at least...

    Compairing Bells numbers to Q's

    As someone noted before FA offsets lobsided looking trades. So if you really wanted to look at the Q trade in context to bringing a player to replace him, the deal becomes Thomas, Thompson and Bell for Q and Robinson. I would to that deal, and Folster had the insights that the Suns saw it that...
