    Suns.com on Dijon

    I mentioned it in another thread, I got a good feeling about this kid.

    Gortat Traded.....Seriously

    You did duplicate yourself on #7 and #21. And Dijon Thompson. I got a good feeling about Thompson, I think he will contribute some, not much but some. He is more athletic than most think and definitely more athletic than Q. If he can he shot over 40% from 3pt in limited time I will be...

    nba.com free agent list

    I think Kurt Thomas takes care of some of the frontline shortfalls, I think that they definitely will answer the backup PG position in FA. I just noticed Juan Dixon's option was not picked up by Wash, he would be a great pick up. Character guy and gutsy, I think Inside the NBA did a profile on...

    Losing our 21st isn't the end of the world

    Once we get back to picking in the late 20's we need to adopt the SA model and take Euro's that stay on the other continent and develope. That is when and how you select Euro's. Not the Charbarkapa/Skita model.

    Suns looking to re-aquire Finley

    I agree FA does offset a lot of things. Finley is a lot better mid range shooter than Q. I always wondered why Q jacked up so many 3's and it is that he was not able to create a shot for himself in the stain. Finley still elevates well on his jumper, something that helps a player get a shot off...

    Ike was their guy

    After GS did pick Diogu the announcement of the trade of Q for Thomas was reported on ESPN radio. It also may lead credence that Barbosa was not enough to move them up far enough to get into position to get into the top 10. I was expecting a deal with Charlotte at #13 if anyone was going to do a...

    Suns looking to re-aquire Finley

    We just saved 885K by not using #21 and picking Petro. Add that amount to 1.7M and 2.5-2.75 might keep Hunter. Hunter is still a young big man that knows the system, with the Suns passing on taking any unknown commodities in the 1st round I think that they are more apt now to keep Hunter. That...

    Mike Tullemelo on 1060 (on Trade, Pick)

    The picks salary slot was 885K, so that is obviously going to be added to the offer for Hunter. 2.5M might be about what other teams may offer for his services. This also tells me that they were probably targeting Petro. Petro ended up going to Seattle, who will probably let Jerome James...

    Why The Q for KT Trade Makes Sense (Part 2)

    George Go to the my post (#9) in the 12234 vs. 12344 thread. I laid out why I am seeing the benefit of the trade as well, it is in relation to Amare being a "point center". I did not want to type it all over again.

    Kurt Thomas Deal on Hold

    I do think that there are other contigencies in the deal that will not make it official until after the draft. The other matter is that once it got leaked it exposed NY intent on taking a big man, namely Channing Frye. The delay is smoke and the insurance is a mirror.

    Knicks Confident Deal Goes Through

    I just think that there was a lot of frustration on D'A's behalf regarding Barbs, if the guy can't follow the coach's instruction, possibly the language barrier, you have got to get someone in that can be more disciplined. It would be quite ironic if the Suns get #30 back because that is the...

    how to make this suns team better!

    Two guys on Denver ESPN local affilate were talking this morning a mentioned that the chemistry on the Nuggets is horrendous. Nobody gets along off the court, and they suggest that Melo has to get rid of his "posse" and concentrate on basketball. There is no way you bring those two "me first"...

    Knicks Confident Deal Goes Through

    I just looked at the Knicks roster and they have no backup point guard. Barbs and Marbs had a good relationship and if they see Stephon as their future they may surround him with guys he wants. The Suns need a point guard for the future and if they think that either Robinson or Diener can be...

    Knicks Confident Deal Goes Through

    As I mentioned in another thread is that the holdup in announcing the deal is that Barbosa might be included if the player the Suns want at #30 is on the board (say Nate Robinson). Just adding the hold up and the rumor of Barbosa on the move could be tied together. That would be fair value for...

    Kurt Thomas Deal on Hold

    One thought that crossed my mind is the reason that the KT has not had its formal announcement is that there could be a possibility that Barbosa may be included in the deal. The Suns may wait until the 30th pick in draft and see if Nate Robinson is still on the board to make the deal final...

    Caution "Rumor"

    As a business man, if Sarver thinks that Eisley's contract is basicly still on the Suns books he may say what the hell and bring him back on board. Eisley was waived on 10/29/04, a couple of days before the season started. Obviously no one thought that Eisley's experience would be so valued...

    1-2-2-3-4 vs. 1-2-3-4-4

    I am seeing the benefit of having KT vs. Nene or Ratliff (or any other C/PF). If Amare is truely going to have a roll as a "point center", Thomas would be great with the pick and roll for Amare. Thomas can hit the 15 footer if they double Amare, if they switch the opposing center is matched up...

    Caution "Rumor"

    Just read a post on the realgm board that may add support to this claim. Rex Chapman was the reason that the Suns traded to acquire Barbosa. Rex may have bolted because the Suns have lost confidence in his scouting and Barbosa. It was also stated that Rex was high on Francisco Garcia and Suns...

    Draft pick in the KT/Q deal

    A lot of that is because some think some local products could fall, Diogu and Frye. There aren't any big name Arizona or ASU available next year. Last year it was a big disappointment when we traded #7 and Iguodola was still on the board. Everyone thought we would be getting a lottery...

    Bob Young Article on the suns and the Q trade

    You nailed it as well, Q was a backup plan or an experiment (I know several people hate that word). They were hot on the tails of Okur and Turkoglu, thank god those two did not get signed.

    Caution "Rumor"

    The Suns worked out both Joey and Stephan Graham in private workouts during the playoffs, my preference is Joey as well.

    Caution "Rumor"

    One thing with the Suns management, the don't get emotionally attached to every player on the roster. Business comes first. Nash's demands trump any commitment to Barbosa.
