Relax, I just don't think a team can win a championship with a true star.

good! because the Suns don't have a true star.

If we couldn't win a ring with the sun, moon and stars...

We aren't winning a ring until after Stern dies. :wink:

That's the million dollar question I want answered. We are competing with young guys and people want to get rid of them because they don't suck enough?

They guys are still growing, I wish our fans could understand that. I wouldn't be mad if we gave Kieff another shot, thus I am not proposing a million trades for him..... I like our team.

I think I am the only one.

I'm with you on Kieff and young bucks. This 5 year drought of no playoffs has got some people trippin'.

Thanks rayray

But Joe Johnson

That would be so, so, supremely terrible

Second of all, Warren would never play

Hopefully we can acquire a starting calibre PF with our remaining cap space to complement Bled/ Knight/ Tucker/ Chandler. I'd really enjoy watching bench lineups of:

Knight, Goodwin, Warren, Markieff, Len (end of 1st and 3rd)
&
Bledsoe, Booker, Warren, Markieff, Len (start of 2nd and 4th)

Now we have to deal with the white walkers

We tried like hell.

Could have changed your franchise from a treadmill to a legit contender if not this year the year then in the near future.
What do you think you are gonna do next season? what would you wanna do?

Also, how do you want to acquire JJ? how can you match the salaries at all?

I doubt we trade for a 34 year old guy making 22 million. I think we try to develop the young guys, try to squeeze into the playoffs and try free agency next offseason again. Who knows though. Our GM is kind of mysterious.

This is garbage logic. Swap Lebron with Tucker and/or prime Duncan with Chandler/Len. It's not who starts but the overall makeup of the team that matters.
I will agree though, as I think most here would, that Markieff is better as a sixth man.

I don't know. I'm still on the fence about him. I don't think he is as bad as Alex Kennedy, Steve Kyler or Chris Broussard, but I'm not sure. We were not discussing trading Markieff or Ryan Anderson when he posted his tweet. Both had been brought of previously but was likely buried.

I think the PhxSunsInsider twitter account could very well be a poster here, or someone who reads the forum, because every time there is a post, it is about exactly what we are talking about.

Just tell Durant his only way of fixing his leg and salvaging his career is to come to Phoenix medical facility.
use that to your advantage

Hey, we all (or many of us) have our great drinking moments. Best of luck to the Browns, because they may be more tortured than the Suns....but we can certainly relate.

Suns and Browns fans:
The only fans to cordially Invite our teams to be our pallbearers so they can let us down one final time.
