    The Mike D'Antoni Rescue Clinic

    There was a report on Gambo and Ash that Olowokandi wants to play for the Suns They claim that the Suns are concerned about his knees, which rings only partly true true. My guess is that they are concerned about a lot more than his knees, but that's a different topic. What interested me is...

    House Signs With Nets

    Derek Anderson has not been healthy, but overall his stats leave me cold. He is career 40.8% shooter from the field and 33.9% for three (his stats were worse this past season). If I was going to gamble on an athletic guy with limited shooting skills, I'd be more interested in Jumaine Jones...

    Market Watch - What Price Boris?

    There is a very good reason why to not offer $55 million over five - a lot of it will be subject to luxury tax. At the same time, only Orlando, Charlotte, and Atlanta are will be under the cap more than the MLE next year. Will any of these teams offer a deal worth more than $11 million per...

    Market Watch - What Price Boris?

    In another thread, http://www.arizonasportsfans.com/vb/showthread.php?t=76194&page=4 I posted a report that the Sonics and Wilcox are close to finalizing 3 year $21 million deal. They report that Wilcox asked for $24 million over three while the Sonics were only offering $19 million over three...

    Why Marcus Williams Fell in the Draft

    When the Suns passed on taking Marcus Williams of U Conn, a lot of people questioned why. The "official" reason the Suns gave was that they did not think he is suited to up tempo. However, a piece quoted from the New York Times gives some other reasons http://www.insidehoops.com/nba_rumors.shtml

    House Signs With Nets

    I'm glad it worked out for Eddie. He did some good things for the Suns, but he really needs to play off the ball and should get more chance to do that with the Nets.

    elindholm weighs in

    However far away, Amare drew more fouls than anyone. A key to going to the basket is the ability to score when fouled. The sad truth is that there is almost always contact, so the ability to score when fouled is absolutely crucial. Guys who try to avoid contact have a much harder time...

    PHX/NY Deal

    He has a really terrible contract. I honestly cannot fathom what Issah was thinking when he made that deal. He did get some picks, but Spurs picks aren't worth much until Duncan retires.

    elindholm weighs in

    Marcus said all the right things, about always admiring Nash, wanting to learn from him etc. In any case, he can see there will be a lot of minutes because the Suns want to limit Nash's minutes. Ideally, Banks could become more than just someone to give Nash some bench time. Right now...

    Gambo and Ash - Suns almost signed Olowokandi.

    Isn't his picture in the dictionary next to the word "underachiever"? Olowokandi had a couple of "OK" seasons with the Clippers: 2001-02 11.1 ppg 8.9 rpg 2002-03 12.3 ppg 9.1 rpg His time with the Wolves was not very impressive statistically, but mostly because he didn't play as much...

    Ely?

    Actually, the Suns have a TE for another two weeks.

    Suns looking to trade KT for Gooden or Wilcox?

    Trading for Wilcox does not mean KT is "expendible" in the classic sense. Trading a veteran big for a younger big may or may not the best move, but it is hardly evidence that the vet is expendible. Trading a big for a small is a sign the big player is really expendible.

    Bucks Acquire Ruben Patterson From Denver For Joe Smith

    http://www.nba.com/bucks/news/PattersonSmith_060810.html I'm surprised the Nuggets got that much for Patterson. I think this means Reggie Evens' days as a Nugget are over.

    elindholm weighs in

    For me, the key was that Banks developed a jump shot. Everyone knew he could drive the basket, but his shooting in Boston was not very impressive. However, the Wolves were very high on him, gave him the minutes and he had some success. A few weeks back there was a thread which had a link to...

    PHX/NY Deal

    It makes sense, but I can't imagine Issah doing something simply because it makes sense. ;) Seriously, I get the impression he wants to package his young guys with his dead weight contracts to try to trade out of the mess he's in.

    elindholm weighs in

    + The PF versus center thing is increasingly irreleveant. Big slow guys are becoming a liability. What matters is strength, quickness, and mental toughness. In any case, the most successful rebounding teams have some guys block out so other guys go get the ball. I'm hoping Amare will...

    Seattle meeting with Wilcox today----article about rejecting Suns trade

    I'm with Chap on this. We don't know: 1. Was there are a real offer or just apparently one? 2. Was the offer (if it existed) based on a desire to get Wilcox or a desire to move KT? 3. What was included in the offer going both directions? 4. What was the source of the story and what...

    PHX/NY Deal

    Crawford had those monster games a few years ago, but his overall game was never that strong. He's a classic combo guard, not a good enough shooter to be a shooting guard and not a good enough playmaker to be a point guard. :thud:

    elindholm weighs in

    I don't think KT was in sufficient game shape to play in the Mavs series. Eric is not enthusiastic about Banks, but he looked good in the games I watched him play late in the season. For me, the key with Banks is that he is better suited to an up tempo game than the slow down style of Doc...

    Jacobsen Rejects Offer

    :trout: 1. Harrington is a selfish ball hog, totally ill suited to the Suns style. 2. There are other teams with a far bigger need and more to offer. 3. The Hawks don't want to take back contracts. 4. Harrington would have to agree and he wouldn't want to play behind Amare and...
