...it's sooo very early in the season, but that something special hasn't been there very much so far.


No,it hasn't and I feel like Duds is getting edged out. Doesn't help that he's such a team guy - he still makes moe effort to make other people look good. But yeah, that spark just isn't there and his shot is off

Tired of hearing those Nash&Hill's ring chasings. Same logic can be applied Dwight to PHX, huh. Think of it. Lots of space for our shooters, no more rebounding probs, even if you are in slump mode he is the one who gets tons of offensive boards, him and warrick are rolling to the rim with two P'nRoll masters Hedo&Nash, tons of dunks from Jrich and him. Actually it seems like this team definitely is created for Dwight Howard.

it is, but think the other way round, nash and hill have max 2 years left and after this the team will be a lottery team, so why would dight commit to us long term. the younger star players are getting the oler ones. thats how it works.

It probably couldn't have happened for various reason (cap #s or trade rules), but I was hoping the Suns would've pursued RFA Luis Scola.

I don't know? Something like use the NYK gained TPE only in the Childress acquistion...don't sign Warrick (though I kinda like what he's brought)....but rather, make an above market contract offer to Scola. Then, if the Rockets don't really want to match PHX's offer, they work out a sign and trade...Dudley/Clark...maybe a future pick for Scola? A Dudley/Suns re-signed Amundson for Scola? If done the Suns could have swapped the contract given to Warrick and the extension monies for Dudley to somewhat overpay Scola. If pulled off, it would've meant...

The now- Warrick, Dudley, Turkoglu, Childress
Would instead be- Scola, Turkoglu, Childress
Probably couldn't have happened, and in the long run having the older Scola rather than Warrick/Dudley may have been a bad decision.

Whatever, there weren't a lot of PF options for the Suns to realistically go for last summer. Amir Johnson or Drew Gooden over Hakim Warrick?

It's a transition in progress and everyone in the Suns FO knows the team is awkwardly contructed right now with too many 2/3s and only quasi-power forwards. A deal is coming, but they'd be dumb to make a trade in haste before we even know what they're holding. Nothing before January...we're not winning a title this year anyway. Be cool FO

scola or lee vs hedo + chill is my problem. they (chill and hedo) are good players but nothing we needed at that time. so why the hell put our fo itself in a worse situation?
