Just remember that a GM drafted Aaron Gray once, and that a team still has him on their roster... Then you will have your answer.

Interesting story about Harris and Frye. I wonder if Tobias is mad at Vuc for throwing a ball at his cousin. :)

Having a grandfather as a Tuskegee airman kind of puts flopping in perspective.

2. They were right to get rid of both Amare and Nash when the did... I don't see the comparison.

Not really the point though, you could make the argument that we were right to get rid of Tmac and Dwight but its not like we had a choice, just like the Suns didnt really have a choice because Amare and Nash didnt want to stay.

PHX didn't want to pay a max contract to Amare because of the medical concerns (which they were right about) and Nash was 38 when they got rid of him (there owner is cheap and didn't want to pay him anyway). If TMac and Dwight wanted to stay, they would have retired here (might as well throw Shaq and Penny in that mix too). PHX didn't want their players anymore, completely different scenarios. Go ask their board.

He would fit perfectly in Miami as a backup.

Dipo had a poor game relative to what he's capable of. Hopefully Jameer takes the rest of the season off so he can continue to get big minutes with more responsibility.

He would still be a third stringer behind Oden and Birdman.
