[...] when I was positive Grant Hill was leaving for New York, Hill opted to stay in Phoenix with the Suns. I have learned not to assume anything is official [...]

D. Hayden, Amare is domiant on the offense and yes I agree Nash doesn’t play great defense. Then again he is still one of the best in the NBA offense wise. I don’t think Phoenix would do as well if they had an average offense/defense point guard. Its just give and take. Then again, Nash isn’t the one asking for a Max contract.

I have no problem with Amare getting a max deal if he comes out this year and plays like he deserves one, that means offense (which he is amazing at) defense, and boards that Jay Thatch pointed out. Also showing leadership earns you a max contract as well as the respect of your teamates.

I’m a really getting frustrated with the Suns lack of action in this off season. It has always irritated me how frugal the team is.

Whether or not they are trying to rebuild or not, no moves to better the team are being made.

Steve Kerr and Sarver have made some terrible decisions in my honest opinion. The Suns were a big man and some unlucky bouces away from being champs and they completely changed this team. We all know the choices that were made which let to our predicitment. I think Steve Nash once said something along the lines of its, “its tough to win when managment plays to save money” and he’s right.

Steve Kerr, make a choice, Sarver, open your wallet. Get Chandler, he will offset Amare’s D inefficiencies.

Amare, you don’t deserve a max contract, play some better D fense and be a team leader. Your offense is great but not enough to warrent a max contract. Even though I’m not a fan look a Kobe, he plays offense and defense all the time and is the team leader. Same thing with Wade. Look at KG, a leader. Your not on that level and until then you don’t deserve a max contract.

Go after Odem and Chandler, we have a bench now and can make a serious run. Alight I’m off my soap box.

Amar'e does deserve a max contract he is a dominant player plain and simple. He can play defense but defense is contagious and when u play with a team where everybody let's their man go by them it isn't a good look. When the team has Amar'e involved which a lot of the time they don't want to give him the ball for whatever reason, but when he is scoring his defensive level rises. Nash is the worst defender of all time so there are always defensive breakdowns because of whoever he guards. I watch time and time again players get career highs when nash guards them. All the good things Nash does are cancelled out because he is getting torched on the other end. Amar'e does need to be rebounding 12 to 13 a game. That makes no sense to me that he can jump that high and only is averaging 8 to 9 rebounds. STAT should be averaging 28pts, 12 rbs,2 blocks, 1 stl a game because he can do that. I don't know what Kerr is waiting on go get Chandler
