Am listening now, they said Shaq's been talking...as he always does.
Shaq said:
It's not fair what's happening to Porter, and that Shaq/Kerr/Porter are ultimately up for the blame. He doesn't want to move from Phoenix, but he understands if he is moved...

I am not a fan of that GSW trade. I don't know what the hell gambo is thinking. this team would be even worse in the long run.

Nothing new yet...as Gambo/Ash said its highly unlikely anything will happen over the AS break while the spotlight is ON Phoenix...

Glad to see Sims signed again. His first 10-day contract came in a stretch where the team held basically zero practices, so the team didn't really get a chance to look at him at all. Hopefully they'll practice at some point during this 10-day contract.

Two related notes: First, anyone know when the deadline is that converts 10-day contracts into full-year contracts? Second, how pathetic is the extreme cheapness of this franchise that they only sign guys to 10-day contracts after waiting the maximum 2 weeks with an empty roster spot?

Hopefully he gets a fair shake. Maybe this is the prelude to a sick(ening) Lou/Lopez/Courtney frontcourt after a Shaq trade?

lol

Ah well, maybe Sims will get a chance to learn a lot from Shaq, Nash and the other vets.

don't quote me on this, but I don't think the 10 day contracts fall into that category - - at any rate, the deadline when contracts are guaranteed was January 10, 2009

per the NBA calendar

I was at the Jam Session on Saturday and got to see the D-League All Star game and there were 3 players who really stuck out on the court. Sims, Ronald Dupree, and Ahearn. From what I saw from Sims is he is better then RoLo in overall game and definitely a smarter player then Amundson. He had 9 points and 8 rebounds at halftime, and like 3 blocks. Very lengthy guy, hopefully we can see him at least once, PLAY HIM GENTRY!
