Almost every team in the NBA has made a blockbuster (good) move that will revolutionalize their roster.

Cavs got Shaq, Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon.
Orlando got Brandon Bass , Matt Barnes and Vince Carter.
Lakers got Artest.
Spurs got Richard Jefferson and Antonio McDysse.
Detroit got Ben Gordon , Chris Wilcox and Charlie Villuenova.
Boston got Rasheed Wallace.
Hornets got Emeka Okafor.
Rockets got Trevor Ariza.
Raptors got Hedo Turkoglu.
Dallas got Shawn Marion, Tim Thomas and Drew Gooden.
Bucks got Hakeem Warrick.

AND STILL A LOT MORE!!!
What I'm trying to say is, WE NEED TO MAKE A MOVE LIKE ONE OF THOSE!!!
WHEN ARE WE GONNA DO IT!?
WE HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS, BUT WE CHOOSE NOT TO TAKE THEM!
HURRY THE F*** UP KERR!

Sarver is in bed with Nash, figuratively and possibly literaly...

Nash doesn't like change, so I assume the Suns wont be doing much until 2012. Nash was using Sarver to get paid and get more control of a team than a guy like Lebron. On the otherhand Sarver is using Nash to sell tickets and make more money.

That's why the Suns arn't making many moves...

Ummm....a couple things to address regarding your new thread:

1. Bucks getting Hakim Warrick isn't what I would call "a blockbuster move that revolutionizes the roster" as you state in your post. Bucks hardly did anything significant besides drafting overrated Jennings who won't even play and let CV sign with the Pistons.

2. Suns won't be making a trade anymore. They did what they wanted which was shed lots of salary to put the club into good position next season. That is their goal.

3. We are still in a recession. Suns are in no shape or form ready to sign anybody beyond the minimum and Robert Saver has made this clear a thousand times. If a player wants to play for Phoenix this season, it will have to be for the minimum.

4. Pavlovic will get waived so they save 4 million - then use 13th roster slot to sign a minimum salary deal for a cheap-shot player for $400,000. No way Suns trade Pavlovic to get another player whose salary is similar to Pavlovic (4 million or so) and their contract is guaranteed. No way in the world that happens. Look for Taylor Griffin to sign for a minimum $400,000 non-guaranteed deal.

With that said, enjoy your 2009-2010 Phoenix Suns:

C Channing Frye - Robin Lopez

F Amare Stoudemire - Lou Amundson

F Grant Hill - Jared Dudley

G Jason Richardson - Leandro Barbosa

G Steve Nash - Goran Dragic

11th man PF - Earl Clark
12th man SG - Alando Tucker
13th man SF - Taylor Griffin

Sunsman - Have you seen Zabian Dowdell play in SL in Vegas? I never heard of him until Gambo mentioned him on the radio as possibly getting the 13th spot... Saw a few replayed games on NBATV and he looks impressive. Pure PG and looks a lot more comfortable handling the rock than Dragic. Dragic will have every chance to be the back-up since we drafted but i like this Dowdell kid, i know it sounds like another BS D-Leaguer pickup but he looked solid for us in SL plus he's cheap

I'm willing to trade Alando Tucker and Sasha Pavlovic for Hakeen Warrick of the Bucks.
Alando Tucker can just help clear up a player on the roster and shed a little payroll. But trading Sasha for Warrick will save us 1 mill and will give us a more athletic player that could fit wonderfully in Alvin Gentry's system.
We should also waive Taylor Griffin. He's practically useless to us...

If this deal goes off, then we would be able to save about 3.4 million dollars, allowing us to pick up Bruce Bowen.
Yes, we as Suns fans HATE Bowen, but we could sure use his defense.

Isn't there an "OFF-Season" thread where people can cry their eyes out?

Good, I thought there was. My computer can't take all this crying. It is like people don't think the rest of us know what is and isn't going on for the Suns and other teams.

revolutionalize isn't a word.

I honestly don't know which idea to comment on... Perhaps you can go back and read a few pages of threads ..... start anywhere, for these topics seem to surface no matter what the thread is. Good luck... and be prepared for pie in the face with your next round if similar.

While I think Kerr should have made a move by now, it isn't the end of the world

The player we get is going to be a pleasant surprise at best, so we're most likely going to luck out and get someone like
Bobby Jackson
Rodney Carney
Tarence Kinsey
Luther Head
Keith Bogans
Ime Udoka - this is who I want, I think he and Dudley would bring some real toughness off the bench and good size/shooting

If you're gonna sign one of those veterans - assuming they'd sign for minimum and play limited role - you sure as heck better get rid of Tucker b/c he is not going to get any playing time whatsoever.

Should suns be lucky enough to shed away Tucker and Pavlovic while having a veteran minimum salary guy sign, your best bet is:

as a guard = Bobby Jackson
as a forward = Ime Udoka
as a center = Brian Skinner or Mikki Moore

Sorry. I had to...

i hate to say this but the moves that we made this off-season are pretty much the best case scenerio moves that could have happened. We extended Nash, we risigned GHill (thank you God!), we did not trade Amar'e, we signed Frye for cheap, we drafted the man we wanted in Clark. This is our team and we gotta roll with it. Besides, our starting 5 looks pretty decent and will compete for a playoff spot.
Frye
Amar'e
GHill
JRich
Nash
