From the Aldridge chat

[Joe Mama]

From today's David Aldridge chat on ESPN.com...

James (Detroit): Dave, what teams in the league do you see having the most promising future (consider everything, like salaries, cap room, players age, etc.)

David Aldridge: (7:08 PM ET ) San Antonio has a great future. The Spurs have cap room, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and players that accept their roles. Detroit has a good young nucleus and a chance to take a potential franchise center in Milicic. Assuming the Nets keep Kidd, New Jersey is in very good shape for the future, with Martin and Jefferson. I think Phoenix has a chance to be a real player in the next few years once it gets a couple of big contracts off the books and can add around Marbury and Stoudamire.

If only the Suns had taken Jared Jeffries instead of Amare Stoudemire with that #9 pick last summer!

this is the second part

Will (San Francisco): Please answer. When you say Phoenix needs to get rid of a COUPLE of big contracts, obviously you're referring to Penny's albatross of a contract, but mentioning couple makes me think that you believe that Shawn Marion is overpaid or needs to go. Is that what you were implying?

David Aldridge: (7:35 PM ET ) I was thinking of Tom Gugliotta, actually. The Matrix is a big part of Phoenix's future.

Well, duh.

Duh if your a Suns fan. If you're a casual fan of the NBA and dont follow each team specifically, I can see how Tom Gugliotta's disappearing act last year could make the casual fan forget about him...
