Seriously... some fans here just need to stop wishing and blaming.

The Suns were elite and exciting, too good to be true... well it was true.
In a way the Suns "compromised" their future to be exciting and elite at the same time.
Selling picks and not playing rookies... heck trading them.... because D'Antoni wanted veterans who can shoot and run within his offense.

Well Suns are in a way paying for that.

The only realy bummer I think was the K.Thomas trade.... that two unprotected draft picks technically will extend the Suns rebuilding phase 2 years....


Point 1... NO TO CHANDLER!... GET OVER IT!! he wont do $hit in this team, sitting down on the bench injured and colleting 12 Million dollars for the next 2 years.

Point 2... You can add Marion, Chandler, Dalembert... ALL of them... and the Suns will still LOSE to the elite teams in the NBA currently... If you pay attention the league since Celtics acquired the big 3... have adjusted that the elite teams.. has become SUPER TEAMS. Heck, even the Suns with Joe Johnson, Shawn Marion, Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Quentin Richardson... would struggle to beat them... playoffs atleast anyways.


Point 3... Kerr might be a questionable GM, but I think he is smart. He knows basketball.. sure he's GM skills are novice, thats because HE IS novice.... Sarver also is the owner who signs the GM's paycheque.. so you listen to him... even if it makes you look bad as GM, because technically he is the owner and you listened to him. Sarver isnt that evil... firing someone for following his orders.

Point 4.... I will be more optimistic if the Suns just don't do anything drastic, play with the current lineup. Play the young guys as much as possible. Because its looking like the Suns are on 8th spot due to some of the west teams undegoing injuries and such.
You can add 3-4 players, spend $20 Million and it wont increase the Suns chances of winning a ring... same result either way.. first round loss.

Point 5... relax and look forward to an uphill battle this season, it'll hopefully bring the best out of Stoudemire so Suns can atleast get value for him later on, or atleast see his worth long term. Nash.. well, he carried the Suns when they were good so you cant fault him leading them now that they are bad... its part of everyone's career.. to go through the best and worst time with your team.


You fans should just be optimistic PERIOD.... being negative isnt good for your mental health! :-)


+1, but I never set limits on what can be accomplished. Nash, Stat, Hill and LB can play with anyone. If Frye, Lopez, JRich, Drag, or Clark steps up...You never know, anything is possible. We aren't the Clippers. "Make em beat you, until then, you have to believe they can't"- JMac
