Sorry but Kerr doesn’t get a genius point for Shaq winning All-Star co-MVP in my book. It doesn’t matter how great Shaq individually has played (and he has). What matters is that the Suns are far worse as a team, and in far greater disarray than they ever were when the biggest problem they had was figuring out what to do about the the Marion "cancer". The only way Kerr can earn genius points for Shaq is if he manages to trade him for someone who fits this team as well or better than Marion did—i.e., until he manages to bring in the type of player he should have traded Marion for to begin with. In fact, given that this trade has possibly led indirectly to the loss of Amare (not to mention the D’Antoni debacle), even that is being generous. In the meantime, I’ll be giving Kerr a moron point each day until Shaq retires, or until the aforementioned hypothetical trade is made.

…from a non Suns fan’s perspective, I’d give Kerr about a thousand Moron Points. As someone who has watched Kevin McHale for over a decade, I know boobery when I see it and you, my friend, have it in spades in the Suns’ front office. Amare is young and productive but he can opt out wherever he goes. If Kerr holds on to him, next year is an even tighter market at the trade deadline, especially if the cap is lowered.

One of the best lessons of the KG trade is that you get the best single player you can and live with the rest of the deal. Is this Ty Thomas? I’m not sure they could do much better at this time. They certainly aren’t going to get the full boat (big expiring deals, draft picks, and a young starter) for Amare.

I feel for you. It’s going to suck for a while. Just hope that they get the best young player available and…well, Nash and Shaq are gone in two years so I’d be hoping for draft picks and cheap stashed Euros more than anything else.

Marion to Boston, Jefferson to Minnesota, and KG to Phoenix, right?

makes me so sad

Unless Sarver demands it. But I doubt Kerr wants to be looked at as the guy who completely ruined this team.

Also, let’s keep in mind that before Danny Ainge obtained KG, the people of Bosting thought he was the worst GM ever. Now they praise him.

I say don’t trade him, not because he’s the future but because we just fired Porter. I would like to see the season out with these players. If we didn’t make the coaching change then I would’ve liked to see what trades we could get.

I don’t. Your writing is good, your coverage is wonderful, and that’s all that matters. It’s the internet, you can be whomever you would like to be…

I wished you could be a brain, and then i would be able to give you to jason richardson.

I think, it was a brilliant play on Phoenix Fan, and unmasking yourself now will only ruin it……. :D

what’s behind the mask is quite frightening

Either that, or think of a clever name incorporating your real name. just sayin’

What’s wrong with Stan? Whoever told you that is crazy…
What matters is how you run this site, and you do it just perfect. When you are doing interviews you can just say “Hi, my name is _ from BSTS, aka Phx Stan”
lol, I think that’s cooler.

i don’t see the problem with using that name, even to get an interview. You’re fmaous in this town

is much more important than the name that it’s posted under. That’s what gets you credibility in this industry. Since you’ve already mentioned that you use your real name in interviews and all that jazz, I really wouldn’t sweat it.

There’s a huge difference between trying to hide who you are and simply using a harmless pseudonym. You’ve put yourself out there through Twitter — hell, your son has a post on the site. I think things are fine the way they are.

I vote for Richardson. I’ve been clamoring for LB start, and let’s get rid of Rich
