You serious dude? Every single one of those teams besides the Wizards (They have alot of young talent, just bad contracts) has a young superstar, has a chance to win the championship or is guranteed a playoff spot.

Well then, what is any different than the Suns? Last time I checked if the playoffs started today the Suns would be in them, correct?
Suns have a superstar, his name is Amare Stoudemire.
You're biased opinion on the Suns clouds you're judgment. Minus Nash and Hill, the Suns are pretty "young."

We all know Sarver isn't going to pay Amare, he's either going to be traded or walk at the latest next season. Besides that Amare has a history of injury problems and isn't that young anymore. You could also throw Barbosa in saying he's regressed every season.

I didnt know being title contenders was part of your question, please. Allen, Garnett, Pierce, House, Wallace, and Scalabrine are hella old bro... Suns are waaaay younger. Notice you could only name Rondo.

Lopez, Clark, Dudley, Dragic while still maybe a little raw are still considered young talent. Barbosa and Amare are only 27. Most of the Celtics are over 30.

I guess what I meant was at the Suns position they should have more talent than they have and other teams who are fighting for playoff spots like the Suns have all this young talent.

You might as well begin EVERY comment you make with this caveat.

Typical.... someone calls you on one of you 'Blab outs', you back peddle and cry 'misunderstanding'... try for once, to develope a full thought, rather than another eye poke against this team, just to get your name in lights.


You are a piece of work. :roll:

Lots of teams with more young talent than us but that's hardly news - we sold off picks, traded them away etc for years. The when we kept two, neither Tuck not Strawbs ever really had a shot on the roster. Now Dragic looks like a smart pick and RoLo has looked decent the last tow games.
If that holds, we're 2 for 5 over the last five years.

To be fair, the sell-offs were explained as being a way to keep the core group of vets together and you have to accept that somewhat, also Mike D had told the owner he would not be playing rookies. Terrible, short-sighted approach.

That doesn't excuse the 2 first-rounders given away with KT. I know people have explained this but I still say they should have waited and they could have made a better deal. FO jumped the gun and paid a dreadful price. One of the worst deals in NBA history


Given all that, Kerr has picked up some solid bargain players who have over-performed. We are not as bad as we ought to be, all things considered
