R.I.P 2008-2009 Phoenix SunsThese gutless, heartless sacks of turd didn't give their all out there nor did they care. They gambled on a GM who was in over his head, a coach who couldn't put together two coherent sentences, and a selfish bastard by the name of Amare Stoudemire.

I would expect this from Shaw and Amare but not from Steve Nash. He's really giving up on this team. It's time to trade Nash and Amare and Start getting some value for them before its to late.

It looks like Nash and co were running Porter's offense. Walk the ball up, dump it into Shaq. Almost looks like they were trying to prove a point.

WTF ??? you want to give out NASH AMARE AND SHAQ FOR WADE AND KG?? are you insane?? Miami wouldn't let go of Wade for all of Phoenix not to mention KG. Why the hell would Boston want to change there Roster at all?? They are doing great. This must be the dumbest trade proposal ever.

Where we can meet the lakers and get swept or lose 4-1?
I'd rather not make it than lose to those guys, So we are 1 game out of the playoffs.
That doesn't excuse it. Look at our Roster, you havent seen a roster like that since Shaq/Malone/Kobe/Payton and whilst that team didn't win it all they made the NBA Finals.
Shaq (All-Star arguably / Hall of Famer)
Amare (All-Star starter WTF!??1!! but nontheless we know what he can do)
Grant Hill (Injury free potential hall of famer, and he is now injury free)
Nash (2xMVP, All-Star, potential Hall of famer)

That's the rub, ain';t it? You look at the talent assembled and ask how could they be in this state.
The answer is - Porter. Bad hire, and worse than that, from what we know and assume, he's not going to be leaving. Things will, I'm afraid, get even worse before they get better.
Now it's mooted about that Amare is available in trade, which will be a fire-sale given the state of Planet Orange. I doubt Kerr can get anything approaching value.
What's left of the team is so demoralized i don'ty know if they can recover.
To take the Suns of even a year ago and reduce them to this is a staggering work of mismanagement.
Words fail me

Well, following another bad loss to a team we always beat, Amare and LB are rumored to be on the trading block. Who would've thought?
Kerr is such a hypocrite. He wasn't hesitate to put all the heat on MikeD and eventually ran him out. But he's now simply giving Porter all the benefit of the doubt when the team is sucking. He would trade everyone before admitting Porter is the wrong coach for this team when almost every single player had voiced their displeasure and is blatantly obvious that no one is happy playing for him. If Porter has any self-respect, he resign and both sides move on.
