Major announcement by the Suns tomorrow.

"Trades will be the best way to get a true franchise player in the next few years and NOT free agency. That's why they have these multiple mid range deals now."

This is interesting. I had a feeling this might be the plan. If it is, I like the strategy. Just so long as they don't actually think this is the finished package. With moderate, fairly priced players, and one extremely valuable commodity in an excellent player with a large, expiring contract, we have a lot to bring to the table. I can almost see the finish line, the culmination of this polished line-up, walking in that dominant big man. I just don't know who that dominant big man is. I keep looking through rosters, and for the life of me, I can't figure out who it could be.

I'm thinking maybe a draftee next year, or a free agent in next year's class.

Too bad we didn't pull a sign & trade three way deal with New York and Golden State somehow, giving us Anthony Randolph, New York Amare and Golden State David Lee. Then we would have had our PF... Don't know if he's ready to start at PF though.

I'm sure Hedo Turkoglu will have a great year with us. Everyone does playing with MV Steve.

I like this part. During the last lock out I felt like the Suns due to bad luck, poor execution, or lack of proper planning got the short end of it.

Babby undoubtedly will be an asset for the organization. He will help Sarver avoid bad contracts, an epidemic in the NBA. He will help steer the organization in the wake of the upcoming labor negotiations, when the NBA is expected to take a hard-line stance against players, even if it means a contentious lockout.

"When it's resolved, there are going to be a lot of changes," Babby said. "Whether it's dramatic or subtle, who knows? I just want us to be ready to act on it, because you can find things (in any agreement)."
