    James Harden interested in joining the Suns next summer

    Dragic, Harden, Beasley definitely make up a formidable scoring trio.

    Suns trade Robin Lopez to Hornets; recieve 1st rd pick, Johnson in 3 team trade

    Are the Suns finally wiping out almost all the bad deals associated with letting Amare go in 2010? Aside from overpaying Frye by 2mil a year, they've rid themselves Childress, Warrick and Turkoglu at a cost probably over 60 mil., which would have paid Amare's last 3 years of his current deal...

    OJ Mayo took less money to play for the mavs.

    Smart indeed, knowing his own strength and weakness.

    Suns claim Luis Scola

    If Scola can be healthy, we could trade him for assets anytime. He is definitely a better player than Frye and Morris right now. So, I like this deal for the Suns. But I was just wondering why they didn't go after Brand who seems to be better still and only on a one year deal?

    Marc stein: Suns to court Mayo

    It's funny that I also thought of the comparison with Isiah/Dumars. Mayo's defense is excellent. If Beasley can improve defense as Mayo did, with Dudley in the mix, the Suns could really play pressing defense all game long, which'd create a lot fastbreak opportunities. All three can create their...

    2012 Free Agency news

    I think accumulating assets is the safer move. If Beasley/Gordon as the first options prove their worth, we can always move them to make room for a max contract. As to Mavs, in hindsight, they should have kept Barea/Chandler/Stevenson for repeat. They could have signed Tyson Chandler to a...

    Goran Dragic back in Phoenix

    Wasn't he destined to be Jason Kidd part II?;)

    The Official 2012 NBA Finals Thread: MIA vs. OKC

    Thunders roster is best equipped to deal with the Western teams like Lakers and Spurs with great big men, but their no-offense C/PF pairing becomes a huge liability. They couldn't stop LBJ, which allows so much space for their 3-pt shooters. It doesn't look good for them.

    Your Free Agent Targets

    Without the future franchise player(s) to build on in place, the motto should be: Not overpaying any role player, be he even the best of them like Marion or Batum. With reasonable contracts, you could later profit from trading them away. It's funny that the best talent aside from Nash on his...

    The Big Summer of 2012

    Effectively, that Lewis 112mil sign and trade to Magic made the current Thunders' team! ;) OK, the team has to be smart to make it work, but still. After all is said and done, seeing the contracts of Childress, Warrick, Frye and what they would be signing in this and next year's FA market...

    The Big Summer of 2012

    When was the last time a contender is build mainly via FA signings? Shaq to Lakers? This recent Heat team is the result of player collusion and may break up before it wins a title. The biggest FA signing have not yielded much as in Lewis, TMac, Penny, Grant Hill, McDyess, Googs, KMart, and...

    Thunder vs Spurs WCF

    Durant plays and dominates like Dirk in best condition + more athleticism. They pass, run without the ball, and can score on anybody guarding them anytime they want, which however they only do a lot when nobody else steps up or it's late in the tight game. I really see the finals repeating the...

    Thunder vs Spurs WCF

    Here is what I found on our 2007 series loss to Spurs. May I say, I hate MDA?:bang: http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/43774/nba-today-jalen-rose-luc-richard-mbah-a-moute

    Who will the Suns draft at #13?

    Lopez, Zarko, Jacobson over Hibbert, West, Boozer/Prince, among others. Do I see a racial line here in how Suns have been drafting?

    Does Phoenix have a chance at signing DWILL?

    I believe all 3 in Miami have a contract that has an opt-out clause after 3 years. So, Wade can opt out after the 12/13 season, which makes him at least in a position of Howard/Paul/Melo in recent theaters. Besides, they were their own managers to want to be together, Heat was just happy to...

    knicks/heat

    The Knicks played two good offensive games in this series, Game 2 and 4. The reason for that is they involved Amare into the offense. In game 4, Melo actually tried to play point forward he didn't want to do for MDA, with teammates moving and cutting on his normally cleared-out path to basket...

    knicks/heat

    Knicks lost because Woodson knows only one way to play offense, force-feeding Melo.

    Trading Gortat

    He sounds like the perfect fit for the Suns as long as Nash is the resident franchise player. :D

    Former Sun Stephon Marbuy Wins Chinese Basketball Finals

    Marbury didn't officially win the MVP, as the stupid rule was to only give it to Chinese players, but he was recognized as such by everybody and by the media.

    Amare looks done

    I believe MDA was his main problem though. All of a sudden, he doesn't suck as much at PnR defense as he has been all his career! If you look at it, aside from half season coming back from the eye surgery, his only coach was MDA. So, either is Woodson a genius at teaching D, or Amare a quick and...

    Anyone watching Jeremy Lin?

    If you watch Knicks games, you will recognize that one of Lin's problem is to deal with pressure defense and give up the ball to teammates in favorable positions, and the other is his off-ball moves are not there yet. So, pairing him with another star would not solve these problems for him, but...
