Phoenix Suns Should Trade Steve Nash Before 2012 Deadline

2012-03-10T03:37:00Z

Fan's rant, open letter to team management, etc... The Phoenix Suns owe Steve Nash an opportunity to get something more out of his career than busting his as* for a .500 level team. Right now, the Phoenix Suns could trade Steve Nash to a number of NBA teams that would be able to provide some valuable players in return. Wait until the summer and let him walk away... get nothing. Oh, you want to save cap room for free agents in the summer? Who exactly do you think you can get? Dwight Howard isn't coming...(read more)

Missing the NBA... But not as much as those depending on an income

2011-11-11T18:45:00Z

I've been thoroughly disgusted by the NBA and player's union's inability to come to a compromise and get the season started. Not only did they each have 2 years to plan for this situation, neither side appears willing to bend on the issues that are important to making it a financial stable game again. This is not a win-win situation now - it's a lose-lose for both the NBA & the players. The players' rep is tarnished because you're all being exceptionally greedy and protecting their own interests...(read more)

I Can't Lie - I'm an Amare Stoudemire Fan

2010-12-10T19:05:00Z

I've been a die-hard Phoenix Suns fan since I moved the valley back in 1997 & continuing today - through the days of Jason Kidd, Stephon Marbury, Shawn Marion, Antonio McDyess, etc. Despite my strong interest even back then, it paled in comparison to how I felt about the run 'n gun Suns of the current era w/ Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire. Something about that team drew my interest and had me watching games, reading articles and it even inspired me to start this blog. I now feel that I know...(read more)

Sionar-Amare - (Former) Suns PF Leaves to Greener Pastures in NY

2010-07-07T14:49:00Z

The Phoenix Suns have officially downgraded their 2010-11 roster - expect an announcement any minute. While Grant Hill and Channing Frye were retained, one of the biggest free agents of the 2010 summer has officially declared his new destination. Undoubtedly, the team is downgrading after reaching the Western Conference Finals and coming within a hussle-shot by Ron Artest of taking a series lead over the Lakers. Amare was our guilty pleasure - the highlight reel player we love; but he was also our...(read more)

Grant Hills Opts-In w/ Suns for 1 More Year - $3.2m Player Option for 2010 Season

2010-06-10T14:51:00Z

Good news for the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, as forward Grant Hill exercised his player option for another year with the team . His salary is minimal at $3.2 million, but he's probably made enough on prior contracts that money wasn't really an issue for him. In his 3rd year w/ the Suns ($3m salary), Hill helped lead Phoenix to the Western Conference Finals and within 2 wins of the NBA Finals. He routinely had the toughest defensive assignments (e.g. Roy, Bryant, Parker/Ginobili) throughout the playoffs...(read more)

Phoenix Suns vs. San Antonio Spurs 2010 NBA Playoff Preview

2010-05-03T19:58:00Z

The Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs look to battle once again starting tonight in a best of 7 playoff series. The Spurs have gotten the best of Phoenix over the past decade, but we're hopeful that this is our year to exact our revenge. Vulnerable in several areas and certainly aging quickly, the Spurs are not the same team from 2, 3 or 4 years ago. Tim Duncan is still playing solid, but his overall contributions have declined (or slowed). Tony Parker is coming off the bench, but not for any really...(read more)

Amare Stoudemire Dunking on Anthony Tolliver - "Throwdown in Oaktown" - Video

2010-03-23T14:44:00Z

A must-see NBA highlight last night, the Suns' Amare Stoudemire dunks on Anthony Tolliver of the Golden State Warriors : Amare's dunk was quickly dubbed the " Throwdown in Oaktown " and many are suggesting it's the best dunk of his career. I'm not sure you could go that far this early - it's definitely one of the best in recent memory, but the timeliness itself has an affect on people's opinion. The dunk made Sportscenter's Top 10 plays last night and will surely be a YouTube hit as people wake up...(read more)

Steve Nash Encourages Suns Fans & Arizona Residents to Observe Earth Hour

2010-03-16T20:28:00Z

In a public service announcement (PSA), Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash encourages people to conserve energy by observing Earth Hour. Thursday, March 11, 2010 – Two-time NBA MVP and Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash has recently shown his support for WWF’s Earth Hour by filming a video that encourages people around the world to join him in turning off their lights for Earth Hour on Saturday, March 27th at 8:30 pm . He joins fellow celebrity supporters, NFL great Tom Brady, his wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen...(read more)

Amare Stoudemire Remains a Sun (for now); Phoenix Readies for Playoff Run

2010-02-20T15:58:00Z

With all the hype surrounding Amare Stoudemire and whether or not he would be traded before Thursday's deadline, most assumed that STAT would be wearing another team's jersey to start his next game. Stoudemire played (& played well) last night @ home in a win for the Suns (vs. Atlanta) - this continues a streak of Amare scoring over 20 pts (now 9 straight games). Even w/ his name being mentioned in trades w/ the Cavs & Heat for the past few weeks - he still remains a Sun & he's handled...(read more)

Suns Looking to Rebound after Consecutive Bashing(s)

2009-12-04T18:39:00Z

The Phoenix Suns are coming off of two embarrassing losses in a row to the NY Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers , respectively. In both games, the Suns simply looked like a team that didn't have much energy and/or were kind of on auto-pilot. Against Cleveland, they looked tentative, avoiding Shaq & LeBron James defensively as if they had H1N1. The game vs. New York was unexpected and really should have been a Win for Phoenix. Former coach Mike D'Antoni certainly got the best of his former team ...(read more)

Suns Escape L.A. Victorious - 109-107

2009-10-29T19:40:00Z

The Phoenix Suns entered a new era on Wednesday night some would say... lowered expecations era. While the team is still exciting to watch and can play with virtually any team on a given night, many NBA analysts are writing the Suns off as a likely playoff team, but nothing more. That's all fine & dandy, but the season is long, players get traded and really, anything is possible. I'm not writing this team off until they're a) out of playoff contention or b) eliminated in the playoffs. I expect...(read more)

Suns Lose Annual Outdoor Game, 104-101 to Warriors

2009-10-11T14:57:00Z

Highlights from the Suns annual outdoor preseason game: Just a preseason game, but the highlights don't show Phoenix too favorably. They are regularly out of position and being caught off guard on defense. I would hope we're better than Golden State overall at season's end, but we couldn't take care of this one. They probably could have one easily, had Steve Nash (1-6 FG), Earl Clark (4-16 FG), Leandro Barbosa (2-8 FG) and others just hit their shots. The Suns shot 40.4% FG on the game - that's not...(read more)

Robin Lopez Out 6-8 Weeks for Phoenix Suns

2009-10-06T02:11:00Z

The Phoenix Suns , already short on reliable players in the post, will lose 2nd year center Robin Lopez for 6-8 weeks due to a foot injury. Lopez broke his fifth metatarsal—the long bone on the outside of his foot that connects to the little toe—in the second half of the team’s intrasquad scrimmage Saturday in San Diego. Team officials say the procedure to insert a screw in Lopez’s foot will be performed Tuesday at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix. Source: Yahoo Sports (AP) The loss of Lopez may...(read more)

Suns Sign 1st Round Draft Pick Earl Clark; Suns News

2009-07-14T04:58:00Z

The 14th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, Earl Clark, officially signed a contract w/ your Phoenix Suns last Friday. An established big-game performer, the 21-year-old Clark averaged 15.0 points and 8.0 rebounds and shot 56.8 percent from the field in NCAA Tournament games during his final two seasons at Louisville. Clark adds versatility and athleticism off the bench, but it is unclear how well he'll perform in the NBA. He will be a welcome sight off the Suns' bench, however, as their lack of...(read more)
