No. Suns wouldn't. We don't want Dalembert's overpayed, offenseless, poor man defense bum. Peace.

I'd rather give Lopez valueable PT to develop than pay 12mil nexst season for Dalembert to suck.



Thank you.
I keep saying it - Sam was sent home from the Canadian National Team for being an idiot ...

Do you have any idea how much of an idiot you have to be, as a starting NBA centre, to be dismissed from the Canadian team? It's almost impossible to imagine, and Sam did it.

He is dangerously dumb. Stay clear of the guy

Agreed. We don't need Dally in the Suns lineup. No basketball IQ.

i'm just ticked that Chandler never happened...of course, if we find out he still sucks this season then i guess they knew what they were doing.

You can'[t win with this FO, can you. Either they screwed up, and we were right, or they were right, and that's just annoying as hell ...

Bastards.

I really thought that this was a bad idea. The reason this is such a bad idea is how much expiring contracts are worth in the trade market. They are like gold! People that are forced to trade star or even superstar players seem to like them alot. This year you might have that situation in Miami... if Chris Bosh signs and extention with Toronto and Miami cannot improve there team Miami might be forced to deal D. Wade because they know he will opt out. In that situation it would be great to see the suns have pieces like a big expiring contract and then fillers to throw at Miami. Not saying that will happen but just a senario that could. I just think they threw away a huge bargening chip to save some cash. This could end up being a real bad idea if the right people are availaible before the trade deadline.

I kept thinking we should pre-negotiate a buyout and use that as leverage as part of the trade. A Ben Wallace with a contract number of $14 million, with a buyout of $10 million is worth a lot more than the straight contract.

We could have sent him to CHI straight up, and still saved 4 million, but had a useful player for the year. You basically would have paid $4million for the chance to have Brad Miller on the team for the year. Then he expires next year, and we still have all of our flexibility.

J-Rich for Dalembert does save us money immediately and his contract expires in 2011 just like J-Rich's.

That's a shame. I was hoping we were going to buy out Gordon.
