Talk to Findog and Monosylab1k about how to handle SpursDynasty. They're doing great so far.
Yeah, your way probably works better in the long run.

One thing I will say is that although Golden State took a step back by dumping Richardson and his salary, that 06-07 team could match up well with Phoenix. I'm not saying they would've beaten Phoenix too, but they wouldn't have been an easy out for the Suns.Yeah, your way probably works better in the long run.
Hey Findog, have you heard anymore about whether the Mavs are getting PJ Brown or Chris Webber? It sure seems like those two are taking their sweet time deciding which team to play for if at all this year.
I noticed that. Keep up the good work guys!
No, I don't think they would have been an easy out for the Suns, but I think Amare would have destroyed them on the inside. That is why I think the Mavs need a guy that can score on the inside so it will open up for Dirk and some of your other guys to be able to shoot.
Last I heard there was a report that P.J. Brown was in the Phoenix area, but his agent denied it. I don't think he makes much sense for the Suns, but they need a big to bang with Duncan and Yao.

Last I heard on Webber, he's a strong candidate to return to Detroit and maybe even the Lakers have interest.
Yeah, the Mavs don't need a Duncan, Amare or Yao, they just need some consistent inside scoring. We don't get any offense from Diop or Dampier and that's probably never going to change. Diop played in SL this year to work on his offense and couldn't reliably score there. Juwan Howard wants out of Minny. He'd be a better fit for us than Webber or PJ -- he will dish out hard fouls, as Spurs fans with long memories can attest, and he has a decent post game. Just something to keep defenses honest. Golden State and Phoenix, up-tempo teams like them, are just kryptonite to us. I wouldn't pick us to beat Phoenix in a 7-game series with a healthy Amare.
Yeah, I don't know, I just think he is a taller and cheaper version of Kurt Thomas. We need someone since our front court is way too thin and small. I don't know why the Suns are putting all their apples in one basket, doesn't make sense to me. I kind of hate small ball in some ways because it puts us at a serious disadvantage against bigger front court teams except Houston since we seem to tire Yao out by running against them.
Who are the Mavs looking at if PJ and Webber choose other teams?
James Posey and Pietrius.
The Suns would beat any Eastern team, but to get out of the West, they have to hope somebody takes care of San Antonio for them, because I just don't see them ever doing it with their current group. Right now the only team capable of doing that is Dallas, which is still a 50/50 proposition at best, and mayyyybe Houston, on paper anyway they match up well with San Antonio, but they need to get out of the first round first.
It would be nice if you could have a Duncan or Amare but there aren't too many of them around. Yao is a good shooter but would put you at a serious disadvantage over fast teams. I haven't watched Juwan Howard much to know if he is good in the post or not. You guy's match up well with the Spurs and we match up well with the Mavs when we have Amare. Both teams are probably trying to figure out how to beat either one of those teams by trying to find players that are more versitile.
If they don't sign either, I'd give Pops more minutes.
Howard has a reliable post game. We haven't had a consistent inside scorer since we traded him away, aside from Jamison. I like Webber for us better than PJ. People can call him a soft choker and chuckle about adding him to a team that has that rep as well, but as a 15-20 mpg backup for Dirk, he's a huge upgrade over KVH or Cro. He would've really come in handy against Golden State.
He's an energy, hustle guy, but he doesn't have a refined offensive game yet. Mavs seem to be down on him for some reason.
James Posey or Pietrius would be good choices.
I think our front office is trying to solve that problem against the Spurs but I am not sure they will be successful. I think the Suns can beat other Western teams but the Spurs are a thorn in our side.
They've really goofed selling off all the draft picks. Signing Banks to the full MLE and selling a pick that turned into Marcus Williams. Marion's contract is killing them.
I think Webber might good for the Mavs since your team doesn't run much and he could keep up. Also he is a great passer and could open up the floor for Dirk and get him more wide open looks at the basket. Man, I hate the summer with all this waiting to see how are teams will look for next season. Basketball season can't get here fast enough for me.
Same here. Anybody posting on ST during the middle of August is a hoops junkie.I think Webber might good for the Mavs since your team doesn't run much and he could keep up.

All true and has a lot of Suns fans very angry with the front office. We have no idea what they are doing. They better hold on to Atlanta's first round pick or I think heads will roll.
That I am. I have even thought about watching the Phoenix Mercury in the playoffs this year just to see some sort of basketball, but I don't know, that is really pushing it.
Marion is a fine player, but he's not a $17/million a year player. Nash is so good he can make an average player good, and a good player look great. Marion can't create for himself, the Suns don't run plays or run the offense through him, he gets most of his stuff on putbacks and in totally improvised situations.All true and has a lot of Suns fans very angry with the front office.

Suns need two things: a reliable backup for Nash and two strong interior defenders.
I agree that Marion is not worth #17 million a year. Marbury made Marion look good also, so it isn't just Nash. I just wish Marion could creat his own shot like Joe Johnson did for us. I agree also that we need a reliable backup for Nash and two strong interior defenders, but try telling that to our coach.
Since Sarver won't go into luxury tax territory, it's kind of a moot point. I don't really fault D'Antoni for the lack of emphasis on defense. Give him two more scorers and Mark Cuban's payroll and the Suns could do it. They play Nash way too much, he should have his minutes held down to around 32 mpg. It might mean 53-55 wins instead of 60 but I think it would be worth it to have him fresher for the playoffs. He broke down in May every year in Dallas.I agree that Marion is not worth #17 million a year. Marbury made Marion look good also, so it isn't just Nash.

I wish we would play more defense though. I agree they play Nash way too much and he wears down. I think that is why they brought Grant Hill in to help take some of the playmaking off of Nash. At least Grant Hill can create his own shot unlike Marion and I have heard he has a high basketball IQ. I just don't know how healthy he is. Oh well, just have to wait until this season to see how it all plays out. I think I am going to sign out now, getting tired and starting to make mistakes typing.
NOOkay, that was the stupidest I've ever read. Dallas is going to miss the pllayoffs? So is Houston? You're ing stupid dude.
Houston and Dallas were both 1st round elimination teams last year.
Or did you forget that the better teams, Utah and Golden State, schooled your team's asses.
