The Suns window has closed. They will be a #7 or 8 seed and lose in the first round. They aren't winning a championship anytime soon.

I disagree with the Suns window being close the Suns are one of the most talented teams in the league. Suns window won't close until 2010.

Are you sure? They already lost Shawn Marion and Coach Mike D'Antoni. Steve Nash and Shaquille O'Neal are getting older.

The Trail Blazers look dangerous. They have Oden, Roy, and Aldridge.

Suns window of opportunity isnt closed until we lose all this great players. How can people say that we dont stand a chance to win a championship with Nash, Amare, Shaq, Diaw, Barbosa,, Bell, Grant. On paper we obviously have the best team there is, all we need to do is play better defense and I believe we will under our new head coach. We could never win a ring cuz dantoni didnt know how to teach us to play defense.
