Bigdaddpr, listen man, I've been watching the suns since truck robinson, dennis johnson, nance,davis.......an so on through the years played. We have had a lot of ups and downs, I know it gets tough but if you are a true fan you can keep the faith................

--- 1) Surely Walsh would take a contract that runs past 2010 if it was a player they wanted, and Barbs is still a bargain contract for what he brings.
2) I can't see Lee in a deal for Barbs. They've said they want to keep him and if not, I doubt that's the deal they'd make
3) If the Suns want to keep their roster at 13 they aren't doing any 3-for-1 deals, bar someone they waive immediately


Negative. They only have a roster of 12 right now. So if they did a 3 for 1, the roster would be 13.

Interesting. I liked the deal involving Noah and TT.

How did we glaze over the fantastic "spacegoat" posts a while ago?

My God that was funny.

Those pictures are HILARIOUS...

...ahh spacegoat's rise to power will be quick and potent. The gun-toting, green-eyed, political extra-terrestrial goat...

Good times.

Favorable to you? We have no idea what you are trying to say and you have successfully convoluted your claims enough that you're officially crying wolf.

I really don't want Noah in a Suns uni...

I hate the Fabricio Oberto, Anderson Verajo, Joakim Noah brand of player... just annoys the crap outta me. Luis Scola I can stand.

Please, no chicago trade. That is just plain garbage. That makes our team even worse then most trades out there. To bad the griz trade is not going to happen.

I still think shaq is the guy we move and we take our chances with amare.

All I think there is going to be is a lot of smoke and nothing will come about. You hear so many rumors in the nba and only like 2% of them happen.

No joke. A Bison... is it supposed to be the "THUNDERing" Herd... is that the idea? I don't understand the relation. Isn't Marshall (college team) the Thundering Herd...? With Bison?

It's just wierd.

But I guess we have a Gorilla as ours so...

The best thing I've given anyone is that the Bulls are the favorites right now. There is nothing more or less. I made a mistake in the beginning by not saying much and then saying some, but it really isn't a lot at the end of the day and it's all I really know at this time. chill out on me!

quick question (didn't want to start a separate thread for this) -- does anyone know if there's a freeze on trades during all-star weekend?
When I breeze past, breathe fast, on point like Steve Nash

BJ^ Without a legit source - email me/PM me if you need and I'll keep it private and can back you up - your 'source' holds as much water as the piece of pizza I just had...it's the truth.

It's nothing personal, but anyone can come on here and say "I know this guy who knows that guy" but until it's proven like DB for example, I can't do/help you as far as people doubting you/calling you out on your unnamed sources...

Thing about the Gorilla is that it's just crazy enough to avoid the "WTF" scrutiny that comes with selecting a new mascot. Plus, who wouldn't want to see a guy in a Gorilla suit jump through a flaming hoop and dunk the ball?

I know nothing's personal, and I completely understand your input. I can't do much right now but you'll be the first man to PM if anything else is constructed. If I'm even able to release it that is. You won't see me on here throwing anything else out for now unless something crazy happens and I am able to spill the beans.

Are you serious? 12-1+3=13?!
Can someone explain me why I'm "not authorised sending private messages"?
