    Suns next max player?

    I will put it this way. That has been the Sarver way since he got rid of both Colangelo's. It is very hard to find many good moves after the 1st year or so with Jerry and Bryan holding his hand. There was hope for Babby and the trade for Gortat but when he traded Goran for Aaron Brooks he...

    Maybe letting Amare go wasn't such a bad idea

    I miss Amare and watching him run the pick and Roll with Steve.

    Suns next max player?

    I think you are on the right track but I think we will actually draft, or we should, our potential 2 Guard, maybe Rivers. We will sign Nash after we sign a couple of over paid free agents and we will win less than 30 games. Ultimately we will either over pay for Gortat, if we do not find a...

    Gortat trade?

    I think you are missing the point. Gortat is a very good player but if he is your best player you are in trouble, we are. He is 28 and when we get good, 2 or 3 years hopefully, he will be 30. We surely will have to overpay to keep him at that point. At this point I would ask for a lot in...

    Maybe letting Amare go wasn't such a bad idea

    Agreed Sarver has done a job on the Suns by himself. He has been the constant so he deserves the blame not the other popular targets, IMO.

    Gortat trade?

    I guess you and I are in the minority on Gortat. He is a GOOD player, far from great and I would trade him for a younger player with potential or a high draft pick given the choice. He is not the type of player you build a franchise around. He is the type of player you add when you have a couple...

    Maybe letting Amare go wasn't such a bad idea

    I agree with all of that You know it is amazing how Dolan and Sarver have made their teams almost unwatchable so quickly. Sarver had the Fantastic 4 when he bought the Suns and proceeded to get rid of all the good talent that he was handed. All is left is Steve Nash. The future is in the...

    Maybe letting Amare go wasn't such a bad idea

    D'Antoni's stagnant, muddy offense as it is today What does that mean? I liked and still like Chandler. Unfortunately their guard play has been horrific not awful. It surely is not D'Antoni's offense it is who is on the court trying to execute it. The group of Shumpert, Fields, Douglas and...

    Maybe letting Amare go wasn't such a bad idea

    I am not an Isiah defender by any means but I think he is being falsely accused in the Chandler acquisition. I think he said that was not a good move and that they would no longer have any capable guards after dumping Billups. I think he backed the Carmelo trade. If so that is what created...

    Maybe letting Amare go wasn't such a bad idea

    Wow A good sensible post on Amare. My feelings almost entirely except that Sarver should have traded him at the deadline, that was his only chance to get something in return. Bob obviously was not going to resign him. If you think otherwise, you are wrong. There are far too many just...

    Maybe letting Amare go wasn't such a bad idea

    I don't think it is his knees at all. He put on 20 pounds of muscle this off season and appears slower. I can't remember an elite athlete that put on weight and helped their game. Amare's advantage was quickness, he needs to keep that. I think the additional weight could ultimately hurt his...

    Lopez Suspended 1 Game

    It was fools gold Amare went on an unbelievable run and Robin benefitted dramatically. Unfortunately it only last about 30 games, I believe. He was hurt at the beginning of the season and at end of the season. I think he only played in the series against the Lakers but was not nearly as...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    You always seem to give management/Sarver a break in any conversation about Coach D. Somehow the poor moves are blamed on D'Antoni and the good moves, having 4 All Stars on the roste,r were because management did a stellar job of handing him players. You can't have it both ways. Besides, Sarver...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    I just think it is unfair to totally evaluate Mike on not winning a Championship and his results thus far in New York. 1. We never had a good defensive presence in the Paint (generally regarded as the most important Championhip requirement) and Nash was generally run down due to no back up...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    Stop it Basketball is not supposed to be fun to watch. If your team does not win a Championship you need to fire the coach and hire Phil Jackson. Just look at all those titles he won with Jordan, Shaq and Kobe. No one else could have done that. (Can't wait for the scolding on that statement)...

    Melo goes 0 for 7 and 1 point with 11 rebounds. The Knicks blow out the Bobcats.

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    I diametrically disagree with about everything you believe to be right on the subject. You totally disagree with my thinking, so be it. I do prefer to be entertained first and foremost when I watch basketball. Mike's teams entertained me first and foremost. My wife became a fan and she...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    Sorry if I offended you, my error. The D'Antoni era can be debated in many different ways. I have my beliefs you and others have their own, so be it. I am just of the strong belief that all of the blame for not winning a Championship can be balmed entirely on Mike. Just as it cannot be...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    Wow I never realized that D'Antoni told Sarver not to spend money on players he might need. Is that what you are saying? I think Mike would rather spend money to keep the core together rather than young talent that may or may not develop. That is the choice I believe he was given. Since...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    Rondo probably would have been a bad fit for our group at the time. Mike was probably right in his evaluation. I still wish he would have picked him. We needed a back up for Nash badly and never found one. [Again, same scenario applied. It was a combination of wanting to save money and...

    OT: Amare/Howard swap being discussed

    I tend to agree with you that he and Williams will somehow end up in Dallas. However I really don't know how you can possibly build a TEAM with 3 max guys on the roster. That leaves the team with only Mid level and Minimum players to fill out the roster. I think you can really only afford...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    I really think you are the irrational one in the conversation. Griffin and I have never claimed Mike to be perfect and wish he would have handled certain situations and player rotations differently. He wasn't and isn't perfect. However you keep trying to justify that he sucked with false...

    OT: Amare/Howard swap being discussed

    The great Dwight Howard and that great team I claimed he had behind him put 56 points on the board tonight. That has to be some sort of record low, doesn't it. GS is beating the hell out of Memphis. This league is nutso

    OT: Amare/Howard swap being discussed

    I really do not know why he wants to go anywhere. If he goes to LA. The Lakers will have $47 Million commited to 2 players. They could be awful. Even if Williams agree to take a cut in pay and joins them in LA, would they field a better team than he already is on? This super team stuff is...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    Also, I never argued that D'Antoni was a good GM. So why didn't Sarver hire a real GM right away? What possible (financial) advantage to the owner could there be from having one person fill two positions? Thanks for adressing Mikes tenure as GM. The bad moves were always blamed on Coach D. Some...
