Suns trade Kurt Thomas and 2 picks for nothing.

[Bruno]

The thing I don't get about Suns FO is that they have spend $100M last summer with Diaw, Barbosa and Banks while they still have players with big contracts and their owner didn't want to pay the luxury tax.

[Shred]

This is glorious news! Victory is at hand!

Kerr really is a Spurs homer.

[JamStone]

Too bad you all couldn't hear the spin Kerr put on this.. What a fookin joke..

How could Kerr possibly spin it? What did he say? It's obviously a cost cutting move. There's no way to spin it.

1) Says we still have the Atlanta pick and our own 09 (well thats good).

2) Says this allows Mike D'Antoni to play fast

3) Says this allows Diaw to take that position.

4) More than likely, he says they will probably get a big man type player who WONT PLAY!!!

5) Mentions Grant Hill A LOT...never mentions that Hill can be counted on for 60 games at best

6) Says he believes Sean Marks will "surprise some people" and be a bigger part of things.

7) Says he would be perfectly satisfied taking this roster to training camp.

8) Says most teams play 8 guys....most don't see the ninth guy very much.


I caught similar bits and pieces on the ride home from another station.

There's talk of PJ Brown filling the void, but honestly, this team is screwed.. This past season was their prime opportunity and they didn't get it done.

Why couldn't Dumars picked up the phone?

Thomas is a FA at season's end and Seattle has no use for him. I'm sure he gets dealt at the deadline.

[itzsoweezee]

well this proves beyond all doubt that the brains behind the spurs front office is now sitting in seattle.

6) Says he believes Sean Marks will "surprise some people" and be a bigger part of things.

Pfft.

[baseline bum]

OMFG, that trade makes the Scola deal look like nothing. Kurt Thomas is the one guy Phoenix had who could put up any kind of legitimate threat to Tim defensively. Every game against Phoenix is going to be game 6 for Duncan next year!

[jacobdrj]

That sucks for Suns fan. I feel for ya.

Wow, what a dumb movie by the Suns. Less defense. Less depth. He was a good hard worker who could hit shots in the half court...

Just a dumb dumb move. Would have only made sense if they acquired KG, which they didn't.

Sorry Suns-Fans, your team isn't going to win a le with this core. And I feel bad for you.

And I thought I had lost respect for Steve Kerr when he became a broadcaster...

[jacobdrj]

Why couldn't Dumars picked up the phone?

Because we didn't have cap-space to offer, which is all the Suns were looking for.

Most teams don't win championships. Even the Lakers played into their rotation. Even if only for the season...

This is absurd.

[RonMexico]

Sucks because Kurt was quality offensively (mid-range) and defensively (at least he wore down Duncan even if he fouled him a lot). Plus, he was a quality vet who could help keep Amare in his place emotionally, if you know what I mean. Trust me, if I had a quality father figure, I wouldn't be facing a Federal indictment.

Why do I get the feeling that, if Thomas were still a Sun, we'd be hearing about the Suns' total lack of D?

[Leetonidas]

Every fan on this board will openly admit that Thomas can guard Duncan to some extent.

[Jeremy]

Suns fans need to start up a fund to fund ourselves a championship. If we could raise $8 or $16 million in donations, maybe Sarver could use the trade exception (and the ATL pick?) to get Marcus Camby. (TE = $8 million, Camby's salary = $8 million. Fits perfectly.)

[justanotherspursfan]

Maybe next they can trade Marion and some first round picks for the right to resign Greg Ostertag.

Donaghy was ref for Game 3 of the WC Semis (Spurs 108 Suns 101).

Thanks for sharing. Did he execute this trade too, or are you just posting that fact to every thread with any connection to the Suns, regardless of its relevance?

[CubanMustGo]

Those that can, win championships.

Those that can't, and moan and try to demean the accomplishments of those who do.

that was beautiful...

[Mister Sinister]

Because it's a lot easier to say that the Suns don't play D at all than to say they don't play enough D?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

o earth to Suns come in WTF are you doing?
