Top Phoenix News & Rumors for Week of 9/10 - 9/16
While the Suns season is still several weeks away from starting, there's a good amount of news and rumors abound this week.
Perhaps the biggest news of the week, is a rumor that the Suns considered (or were proposed) a trade that included Shawn Marion and AK-47 (Andrei Kirilenko) - this is another stab at Marion's confidence and feelings toward the Suns organization. As fans, we can only hope that the situation works itself out (for everyone) and that Marion & Co. advance to win this year's NBA Championship.
