    Simmons: Best and Worst Contracts of the NBA

    With this contract O'neal helped Miami winning a title. Even if he doesn't deserve a $20m a year contract anymore I would not have him on the worst contract list.

    DraftExpress on Batum (on a couple of prospects in the French league): http://www.draftexpress.com/blog/Jonathan-Givony/ Sounds like he should be a Suns. Batum is ranked from #6 to #13 pick according to the various (and meaningless) mock draft. If Atlanta's pick is in the 10th-15th range and...

    There is another French youg prospect who is rising up very fast. Marc Antoine Pellin is a 20 yo PG. He is Roanne starting PG for the last two seasons (Roanne was French champion last year) and plays the Euroleague. He is a fierce defender and distribute the ball very well. He just had two...

    Afeter a bunch of subpar games (given his talent) Batum just had his best game of the season in french league in a win over Nancy (Nancy was the league leader with a 9-1 record before that game). Batum was hands on player of the game. Batum stats for the game 25 pts (9/15 FG -2/4 3pt- 5/5 FT)...

    Varejo agrees to terms with Bobcats

    You know what, I believe you. But I don't see why we should discuss this over and over. The Suns did what they thought the best. None of us had and has the power to change this. We have to live with this player and hope he will one day go back to the level of a nightly triple-double threat or...

    Varejo agrees to terms with Bobcats

    Varejao has a very high opinion of himself. He believes he will worth 10 millions a year soon. It would make sense he prefers a 3 year contract with an opt-out close over a 6 years contract.

    Boris Diaw is completely worthless.

    The worse is that Diaw looks like he needs to be confident and confortable with the role he must play to be effective. I am afraid it will not have much positive effect to light a fire under him. The big problem with the situation with Diaw (and maybe LB): Grant Hill, GF 36 Shawn...

    Boris Diaw is completely worthless.

    I agree, most team have a dead weight player under a big contract. At least, our could be valuable in some situations. We can't trade him with this big contract. We should focus on what he can do and how he can improve instead of bitching about his 9M a year. That said I am really upset with...

    Update on Batum: He is having a good season in the French league with 11 pts (50%FG) /5rbds/3 ast and 2 stl in 27 minutes to go with strong team results (Le Mans is third in the French league with a 7-3 record). This is something to start with for a player who will turn 19 in a few days. Batum...

    Duncan injures Knee!!!

    I hate this thread: 1) You can hate the Spurs but Duncan as a great player deserves a minimum of respect. 2) The Suns have Hill, Amare injury prone players playing heavy minutes Nash could almost be listed in the same category. Will we be at full power during the PO? 3) We should not focus on...

    What's With Boris and Amare

    Does anyone knows if Diaw works on his jumpshot? The Spurs had the same Problem. With Parker not having a jumpshot, their opponents "just" had to wait him inside. Popovich identified the problem, hire a shooting coach, gave Parker a jumpshot. Having a jump shot (he doesn't need to have 3pt...

    Lies, Damned Lies, and . . .

    Lies, Damned Lies, and . . .

    Let wait for 10 more games before to start a deeper analysis. But your first impression are interesting. As azirish says we can't conclude much for a bunch of player. I hope our natural lineup +/- will be way better as the season goes on. Still you made a couple of interesting observations...

    Bulls at Suns Game Thread

    I was kidding of course. But not that much. As many people here I am (very) disapointed with Boris. But how do you expect a team to give him 9 million a year with his production? I believe he is untradable right now (unless we can do something like the Mavs with Finley). - Amare has a lot of...

    Obvious Solution: Trade Amare so Boris can play well (The value of Amare could bring us an answer for b) ).
