Uh... hang on...
Oh wait, I have it wrong. It's Rick Reilly's (sp?) column in Sports Illustrated this week. He does a thing about the Gorilla, but there's a jab about how the Suns' payroll is larger than some country's GDP, or something like that. I don't have it here with me.
cheesebeef said:I don't know about that considering this - by all means - has been their best team AND they are younger than they were with Nash at the helm. I'd say they made a pretty good decision in what they did here.
SweetD said:Not sure if Dallas is a better team. The paid a lot for Damp. The only reason the Mavs are doing better is Howard has done well. Daniels (2.1apg) and Terry (5.4apg) don't even come close to replacing Nash's contributions.
fordronken said:This Suns team is a much better fit for Nash than those Mavs teams. In fact, the thing that would make this team unstoppable(other than a tough big man off the bench), would be if Stoudemire became a dominant rebounder and shot blocker. If that happens...it's over.
