This off season for the suns has not been as impressive as the year before. Trading "Q" and draft pick Nate Robinson for Kurt Thomas wasn't their best move. Nate Robinson might be the most under rated player in this years draft. The suns offensive style is fast paced uptempo basketball. You think that Kurt Thomas can run the fast break? What about Brian Grant? If he plays more than 40 games I'd be surprised. Heck, he did a great job with the lake show. Oh wait, he didnt. Both Grant and Thomas are undersized centers slowing the suns down. However, I understand not resigning Joe Johnson, he is a solid defender/scorer, but is no way worth 70 million. Enjoy Atlanta! If the suns land Finley for the 1.1 million they have left, he will be the perfect replacement. However, it looks like Miami is the front runner being able to offer him 5 million and better chance to win a title. The last straw was losing Steven Hunter. The only true sized center on the team, with exception to the phenomenal job done by Amare, was able to bring rebounds and shot blocking to the table. The void is still missing for the true center in Phoenix. I say leave Amare at the 5 and go from there. He could possibly be on the top 5 list for most points in the NBA at the end of his career. He is on pace now... In the scheme of the western conference, the Spurs and Rockets will probably be ahead of the Suns.
Will The Phoenix Suns Be Any Good?
