Our lineup last night should have included Joe Johnson, Shawn Marion, Rajon Rondo, Luol Deng, and Kurt Thomas. Oh, and Bryan Colangelo should have been watching from the wings.
The blame game should always begin and end with the owner. There's no person more responsible for a franchise's fortunes. A fish rots from the head down. See Bidwill.
Since the Suns aren't here to 'develop' players, we now face the prospect of starting over. Shaq, Nash, Hill, and Bell have no future. I wouldn't bet the franchise on Amare, Barbosa, or Diaw either, but Amare in particular provides at least some small chance to entice top free agents to come to Phoenix (read: LeBron, Wade, or Kobe).
We shouldn't sign any free agent to a max deal unless he's a top ten player. Only go after the biggest fish (See: Marbury, Penny, Googs). Failure to do so will result in a decade of mediocrity.
You've made your bed, Robert. Now lie in it.
