As long as the self-proclaimed STAT, (who gives themselves nicknames, besides Starberry?) remains a Sun they will never play D! This guy is so over-rated. No matter how many points he puts up his guy on the opposing end always sets career highs for points in a game. How can a guy 6'10" with that much athletisism not rebound? Desire, that's how. All he wants to do is score and be the "man" on a team. If he cared about winning he'd play a little D. If it wasn't for his weak-side blocks he'd be considered what his is - soft. I say let him go, as a matter of fact assist his transition, trade "STAT"! He's got great trade value, and his knee problems, lack of defensive play, and the in-ability to rebound will AGAIN come back to bite the Suns!

I guess he could've said worse things, but I'm not too encouraged that he will stay. With D'Antoni and Colangelo gone, we don't have the best reputation anymore that has players lining up to sign with us. I saw that article as well.
