All suck, and aren't showing any signs of getting better, will probably get worse.

even scarier... gentry on the radio a couple days ago said he was the one who wanted Hedo... we really have no one in that FO who has a flippin' clue as to what they're doing.

Nash / Dragic
Dudley / Carter
Hill / Childress
Warrick / Frye
Gortat / Lopez
I would stick with this lineup and just ride out the season if no trades are going to be made. Dudley spreads the floor for Nash, Warrick is his P&R partner, and Gortat helps protect the paint.
Carter takes some of the pressure off of Dragic, though I doubt he would enjoy being demoted to a 6th man role. Frye helps spacing with the second unit. Pietrus can chuck terrible shots up during practice for all I care. Keep him on the bench.
i was surprised with the starting 5.
any reason for that?
Grant Hill is our best defensive player. And, of course, Steve Nash is our playmaker (under the current system). As for the third most important player, we don't have a best rebounder.Looks like Gentry is going to change up starting lineups a lot, but one thing is pretty certain: Grant Hill and Steve Nash will ALWAYS be starters.
As good as gentry's moves looked last year, this year its been one puzzling move after another. Tonight he starts Childress, takes him out after 4 minutes of action and puts in Frye for the next 13 minutes of sh** basketball. Nash looked utterly lost in what to do in the first quarter with that random ass lineup that was thrown out by Gentry. Who starts next game? Dragic at the PF ?
What is worse than these games are the stupid fans calling on ktar after the trade and talking about how the Suns made the right decision by letting a poor rebounder, horrible defender and "inconsistent" player in Amare go because he is not worth that money?
Wow please, even if Amare has more micro-fracture surgeries it will never get better because we wasted the same kind of money on Frye, Warrick and Childress and we can already say that is NOT a good trade.
+1I haven't given up on Childress. Actually, I feel bad for him.
Whenever he's in the game he seems to make plays. He's great at cutting to the basket, seems to tip a lot of passes, and doesn't really do anything stupid. He looks a lot like Marion, just not as skilled. I'd like to see him get consistent minutes. But then again, what the hell do I know?
I am sure he was meant to start at PF to guard Chandler.Childress a wing player who has been buried on the bench gets to start as our Center?

Where the stink started was putting Grant on Amare, Gentry should have just started Gortat and put Grant on Chandler would have made more sense.
I do understand their concern that you cant have a 7 footer chasing Chandler around but the solution they came up with was stupid. Childress claimed he had no idea he was starting until 10 minutes before the game.
There is no way a team can gel if Gentry keeps changing line up like that. Why didn't they start Warrick this time or Gortat?
Now what is Gortat going to think after being benched and only played 12mins? At this point, I don't even know if this team has bigger problem in defense or offense because neither is good enough.
+1
Childress is better than Warrick, we go whoa when Warrick makes one of his dunks. Now that the other team knows what he wants to do, it is easier to guard him.
Childress is a smart dude and really believe he will be good coming off the bench for this team.
The idea of putting Hill on Amare was surely due to their inside knowledge that Amare used to hate fronting by active smaller defenders the way Grant did to him. But they just underestimated Amare's ability to adjust, after having more experience dealing with all kind of defenses as a franchise player in NY than he ever got with Suns.
Gortat the Red has officially become a menthol cigarette,and he's likely to be the first one to be smoked on a nightly basis defending the basket from here on out.
