Contract Jerod Mustaf to take care of Robert Sarver.
Have they essentially thrown the towel in, or is Amare really that important? They made the WCF before with him injured, but Nash was still close to his prime back them.
Who can step up to pick up Amare's scoring/or who can the Suns get right now? I know nothing about their recent pickup, Warrick. Does he rotate on D?
Signing Frye is interesting, I liked him last year, but hated his inability to play on the road behaving like a rookie.
On the plus side, Dragic should grow and hopefully Lopez continues to improve and doesn't f'up his back any more.
I do wonder what's going to happen with Jrich, as in is he on the trading block, or are they keeping him for scoring and boxouts? (yes joking)

well, they can send lopez and dragic to the spurs for matt bonner and keith bogans...
that might salvage the season (for the spurs)

it was a joke you uptight suns
Nothing.
ohhh and such a damn good one at that.
sporks fans have a great sense of humor.
And no, Warrick does not rotate on D. He got benched for his bad D on the Memphis Grizzlies of all teams. He only weighs 210 pounds so he gets roughed up inside. My guess is this system gets his scoring to 17 points and 7 rebounds but he doesn't have near the impact Amare does on offense he just looks decent on paper.
They got to the WCF without Amare but Nash was SO much better back then. In 2006 Nash would abuse big men who were switched onto him and now he's too slow to do that. The two month slump Phoenix had was in large part because switching big men onto Nash was so effective and he needed to figure out ways to counter it. With Amare you can dump it down to him if a small guy is switched onto him, now any team that can switch effectively is gonna neutralize the Nash pick and roll because he's too slow to abuse big men like he used to, and Warrick is miserable in the post so he won't help the situation.
Chances are by January they're gonna have Nash, Hill, J-Rich, etc. on the trading block while also realizing how re ed the contract they gave Frye was. At the same time AZCentral is gonna start feeding the masses articles about how successful OKC and Portland were by scrapping their team and starting from scratch, while neglecting to mention how that method has led to decade long misery for countless teams.
how creative...ohhh and such a damn good one at that.

you changed your team AGAIN, louis...still cant resist using that sporks tag though...good to see you have come to the silver & blk side,too...
This thread is about the Suns, the Spurs circle jerk is upstairs.
suns should trade nash and start over
This. Trade JRich too.
O & 43!
you silverblack mystix, you are a moron
The Suns can't salvage anything. They will always be our . Hey Suns, how many championships do you have? That's right, zero!
^True, then you rolled over and let 'em pack yer caca/skunk style.
Really all they can do now is get more experience for Dragic and Lopez.
yeah and the suns msgboard is located on another URL. go google and get the out of here!
Has Frye signed a deal with Phoenix yet? Or is he still holding out?
Once it looked certain Amare was leaving, I would have targeted Tyrus Thomas for a contract starting out with $7-8 million, since they would have had some cap space available. Hakim Warrick and re-signing Frye would have not been my first priorities.
Also, maybe Earl Clark will show something now that he should get some minutes. I thought he had a chance at being a good player when he was drafted. I don't know if he ever got a chance to play any significant minutes or not. Maybe he did and didn't look very good. But they need to see what he can do now.
Can Lopez play 48min bc a frontcourt consisting of Frye and Warrick will get torched. You add Nash on the floor with those guys, it could get pretty ugly
Frye has agreed to a deal already. So has Warrick. It's beyond frustrating how inept Sarver is yet how smart he thinks he is. If Amare's knees were not worth a 5 year deal, fine, I can live with it, I wouldn't have held it against Sarver. At that point though, it was time to rebuild and hold onto the cap space they had for the future when it could be put to better use. Tyrus Thomas replacing Amare still means lottery. Now the Suns future beyond Nash is ed even more because we have two scrubs taking 10,000,000 in cap room.
The frustrating thing is the amount of fans who think Sarver knows what he's doing and are happy with the off season so far. For some reason replacing Amare with Hakeem Warrick has been deamed a huge defensive upgrade as if Amare was such a bad presence on defense that the grass is going to be way greener with any player, and as if the Suns would be an elite defensive team if anyone replaced Amare. They don't have any idea how bad Warrick is on defense and it's in annoying how Sarver gets away with this .
Suns are throwing in the towel on the 2010-11 season and waiting for the new CBA and/or lockout. After that J-Rich will expire and we can re-assess. They won't trade J-Rich's expiring for a player during the coming season, because there's no way Saver will take on salary right before the new CBA kicks in. Anybody with long term big-money contracts after that time will regret it. Suns' future looks pretty bleak for next season, but you have to consider the fact that they won't have any huge contracts at all once the new CBA starts. That's extremely valuable. They'll be able to adjust quickly to the new state of the NBA once the deals go way down and salaries level out.
Maybe you and I know so, but Sarver obviously has some delusional belief the team can be compe ive if he's overpaying Frye and Warrick.
