The Suns need him back and you all know he fits the Suns system perfectly and we DESPERATELY NEED a PF. Before all of you say I'm nuts just remember this is the same guy who carried the Suns to the West Finals and was also MIP a couple years ago and the only reason he got traded is because he couldn't get along with Terry Dumbass Porter.I SAY BRING HIM BACK PLZZZZZZ

Bobcats get: Warrick and Childress

Suns get: Boris and Livingston( through in)

And can some 1 tell Gentry to start both Lopez and Gortat.

I'd love him back but can we swap Peaches for Chilly? Chilly's younger and fits more into our long-term plans. And he's a mini-Matrix.

He used to fit our system. We aren't running SSOL anymore. Also, he got fat. Really fat. Also, he averages 5 Rebs. a game, which is, you know, bad. Though he's still efficient from the floor he's having a down year scoring too. Pass.

Najera might work out here - limited offense but Lou-like hustle and a good rebounder

I'd like to get Boris back but I'm wary .... we know have two big men who play in the paint. won't this be trouble for him?
How did he play with Kurt?

Dirty Scottsdale Diaw needs to stay away from the Suns as far as possible.

He is fat, lazy and lacks motivation obviously plus he would be another step away from having a conventional lineup. He is not a true PF.

I would pass on Diaw.

We are not the same team as we were, and he is not the same player that he was.

I want no part of Diaw. No Part!

Everybody played good with Kurt. IMO, the most costly error from our FO was getting rid of him. F the tax, we were right there. We could have just sold the first rounders we lost to move him and about broke even. It was the beginning of the end.

I understand all the Diaw hate. His pay check went up along with his appetite. It still does not change he would be our best post player and could significantly help this yr. The guy has mad skill in the paint. I'd gamble, knowing he was here only for a yr and a half. To me, he is a bird in the hand move.... we know what we are getting. Perhaps snag him and Randolf?

i think there were health concerns w kurt after that year and also he didn't play as well as i expected him to with stoudemire. but yah, that was definitely the one FO move i look back on with a sneer. that sucked

I meant more "in what fashion did he make it work with Kurt?"

I would back getting both AR and Diaw - as you say, both are short term deals if it doesn't work and Diaw will be expiring next year, AR this June I believe. Positions the FO nicely for lockout

I loved Boris in that playoffs in 06 - god, what a roster that was, even with Stat and KT out

The Kurt Thomas trade was one of the worst in franchise history. No doubt. KT and two first round unprotected picks for - cash?

And then they flipped KT to San An for another 1st. Incredible.

1 of those picks turning into Serge Ibaka adds insult to injury. A power forward who's gonna be a DPOY candidate for years to come would sure be nice right now.

Has anybody seen how fat he is?
