Seeds of Hate, "If we could rotate Massenberg and Thomas for 40 minutes at the 5... we'd be so stocked... "

This assumes we would get a different head coach, right?

I still have my doubts about Fizer. There's a reason he couldn't stick in the NBA, however good his statistics are in the minor leagues.
I've never quite figured out why Fizer couldn't at least stick with an NBA team and get some decent playing time. He seems pretty effective every time I see him play. Can someone who has watched him more extensively offer some insight?

I'd like to know that as well. It's not as if he never had a chance, he couldn't stick with Chicago, Milwaukee or New Orleans/OKC, and those aren't exactly great teams. There's got to be something, since he always seemed to have the tools to succeed in the league.

He had a bunch of knee injuries - but he looked healthy in Vegas. He is also A LOT bigger than he used to be. The guy is a damn tank

Marcus Fizer would be an AWESOME acquisition at this point. The perfect fit, albeit not possible, would be Massenberg. If we could rotate Massenberg and Thomas for 40 minutes at the 5 and bring in Stoudemire and Diaw for the remaining 8 minutes there, we'd be so stocked....

I thought Massenberg retired last year? He is not on Hoopshype list of players in the NBA? I realize that Hoopshype is not the last word, but where did he play last year? Two years ago he played for the Spurs.

I can not figure out Fizer either, he has always played well against the suns and he looks like Malone looked at his biggest!

Like I said, tons of knee injuries.

I know that he blew out his ACL one year in Chicago. Then when he was with Milwaukee he had another season ending knee surgery on the same knee. I want to say there was a third one as well...

SOH probably means Lorenzen Wright. Tony Massenburg is 38 and would suck on the Suns.
