I don’t know if you guys really watch the suns play or not but if you do you will see a pattern. When Amar’e is involved in the game we rarely ever lose point blank. There have been games where they don’t give him the ball enough I think he has every right to want the ball over Marion and Joe Johnson. Marion as much as i liked him was as inconsistent as it gets when it came to the playoffs. Stoudamire is the best big man in the league anyone who can average 37 points on Tim Duncan is a beast. Kerr better do his damnest to sign this man because if he gets with Wade or Lebron they will never stop winning championships. Kerr go out there and get this team so help what are you waiting for? You have screwed the team and the fans i refuse to order the nba package again to look at the suns unless this man gets some help. I have a suggestion look at a real backup point guard and get big men that is all we need

Heck , it is worth reading the entire article from Toronto. Here’s the link:

It is just oooozzzzing with optimism. I think the suns fan in me will go and cry somewhere in a dark closet now.

what a minute here folks, i think that we are all forgetting that joe jonhson and the matrix also wanted to be then number 1 gut so they were outed. as far as amare is concerned, he should be given the same treatment. he absolutely refuses to play defense or rebound. he himself cannot will his team to victory like the elite players can. one cannot complain about his lack of recruiting on the suns behalf howver, cuz lets face it, where the hell are we going. i have mixed emotins about keeping him. as for the sund in general, they need just that a general. steve kerr is the one that absolutely needs to go this guy is the biggest bonehead in gm history. he blew up a great team that just needed a little tweeking, and everyone knew that. fire him and get someone in there that has a plan. and for better or worse, sign amare and bite the bullet and bring in the help he needs (tyson chandler for a start) or trade him now get what we can and rebuild now!

I have to give disagree (with almost everyone) that Amar’e is still DEFINITELY a top 10 player in this league. Going back to the 1st time the Suns were introduced in the NBA, they always lucked out to have that dominate big man, who is in their prime and an impact player, which could take them to contention. It is very hard to find that big man, and Amar’e is one of them. He has always expressed his desire and dedication to this team. He deserves a max contract, even more than Nash. Whether the Suns want to give another shot at contention, or rebuild for the future, it only makes sense that they do it around STAT.

Good point. I use to love the guy but you gotta wonder if the suns can bring anyone in that can truly work with him. I think steve kerr is doing the right thing by being cautious and fielding offers. Man, i just want the suns to make some moves! It seems as if we’re in no mans land!

How about a peek at another non-playoff team? frustrated and stagnant like the suns right?

From Tronto:

"Let it not be said that BryCo doesn’t do work. In what is the craziest trade this franchise ever made, B.C. Colangelo turned Marion, Humphries and Uni-brow (Douby) into Hedo (don’t call me Hedu) Turkoglu, Devean George, Antoine Wright while being able to keep our mid-level exception (actually they have just under $8mil to sign whoever they want "

Must be really nice to have a Colangelo in the organization!!! Man I really really miss those days!

here's an intro to a similar blog spot for the sanantonio spurs.

"This last week has been exciting for Spurs fans. Between trading for Richard Jefferson and drafting DeJuan Blair, most of us have been caught in a state of exuberance that borders on delirium."

Must be nice!!! maybe i'll convert to a damn spurs fan just to feel good about my team for a change!!!!!!

stat basically just blew the suns "poker game" by saying he wouldn't resign with golden state. anything this guy is to benifit himself. there is no team in amare, on the court, off the court, where ever. if he had to choose between making 2$ of feeding some hungry kid, he'd probably take the 2$. This guy is never going to win a championship as "the number one guy" and he won't be happy unless he is the number one guy, so there you go. as for the suns plan, it is try to win as many regular season games as possible while spending as little money as possible, with a facade of title contenders. their current path is win regular season games and maybe make the playoffs every now and again and maybe take a first round series. there is no feasible championship here for the next 5-7 years with this management style.

Instead of demanding some "money love", Amare should demand a competitive team. Wanna be like Paul Pierce? So stop whinning and work the backstages to bring some talent to the team.

People seem to forget that despite all Sarver cheapness, Joe Johnson and Marion left also because of Amare's ego and his "alpha-dog-needness".

I miss JJ and Marion.

Gosh, I hate this guy…
