I got news for anybody who don't think we are a championship contender. We have been a contender for quite sometime and to be honest after the coaching change last year I bet if Amar'e had not went down we would have gone to the western conference finals. We are a running team so we should not change our identity but we have to concentrate on defense which is why I think Chandler is a great fit. Amar'e will play better D with someone like that next to him and we can have bigger lineups and bring more versatility against the elite teams. If they bring Chandler they can beat anyteam no doubt in my mind remember we score more than every team out there so let's get some guys out there that can get a couple more stops and put us in positions to get the games. We have closers all over the place so we can definitely be a contending team

chandler didn't get traded last year because he FAILED the physical. may be something there. none of what the suns did makes them a championship contender, but that's not what we're used to here in phoenix anyhow. its not like we are the lakers or boston, or SA and can back up the championship talk. truth is the suns have NEVER won a championship, and that is not going to change this year. so I guess it can be like the cubs fans (there's so many of them here anyway) and we can say there is always next (10-11 season) year to win a championship (or maybe next owner), but wait even the cubs have won a championship in the past!

I think Tyson Chandlers foot is worst than us fans think i'd love to see us trade jason richardson for Marcus Camby and use Ben Wallaces deal to get a good shooting guard that can defend

Just blueskying – I'd pull the trigger on an LB-for -James Posey deal in a second. Salaries similar, and fills needs of both teams.

Yeah, do that.

Put up or shut up! the suns aint doing anything BIG but they didnt need to to do that when Nash first got here either. They simply did what they do best run and gun offense, crush dunks on the NBA's head and talk smack to dirty players like duncan and Stern. o wait thats the commish…..

Exactly, why not bring in Chandler it will make us a championship team and deeper. It is just a smart thing to do WTF suns?

Assuming Amare returns to form and the Suns stay relatively healthy, this team is going to be better than most people think. I also think that Amundson is going to be a major contributor. He is so much better than how he looks. He has an amazing instinct for the game and just seems to always be in the right place. He sees where the rebound is going before it bounces, much like a Dennis Rodman. Her also beats his man downcourt virtually everytime and in the Suns offense that means he is open for a layup or dunk.

I am not going to make any bold predictions, but I do think we have a chance to surprise a lot of people in the same way that we did in 2004-2005. I'm perfectly content to let everybody talk about the Lakers, Blazers,Spurs, Mavs – we'll see how it tunrs out. We will once again be the most exciting and entertaining team in the NBA and at the end of the day, that will make it a fun and enjoyable ride.

Buckle up!

I don't think the problem this year will be the suns, it's more of the competition. When the were the frontrunners and championship contenders they were equal with the Mavs at the top. Both teams have played similar with similar guys and it's made about 8 spots difference in the standings. Competition has been crazy lately with teams like the Blazers rising up the ranks. With that said I think any team has a chance including the suns. I predict the will shoot over 50%, be the best offensive team of all time and maybe the worst defensive. If anything though, it's good to have my old team back thats why I loved them in the first place. They beat the Lakers last year without Nash, Stoudemire, and maybe one other big name so I def have faith they can surprise this year.
