Paul Coro reporting the Suns will go even smaller

They did not make an announcement about what the new starting lineup would be but it sounds like Grant Hill could be sliding to power forward with Jason Richardson and Leandro Barbosa on the wings. It's going to mean continued time for Louis Amundson and Jared Dudley and possibly Robin Lopez too. Matt Barnes will also see time at power forward. The Suns think they can continue with the same style and even the pick-and-rolls but that the finishes just won't be the same.

ugh...even smaller? ugh...read this full article though. There's some very interesting stuff in there about Nash and Shaq.

Nash has issues.

I’m disappointed that Steve Nash used this as an opportunity to gripe about the Diaw trade. Now more than ever this squad should be looking forward not back.

Nash

I can’t defend you this team. Man up and play.

Glad I could oblige.

That was pretty bush league of him. Super passive aggressive. To be shocked or disappointed or doubtful of what this means for the team would be one thing, but to go complaining about people no longer on the roster is weak.

Agreed

…although I’m a little hypocritical for saying so since I mentioned Diaw myself in my own “heat of the moment” post on the subject. If we’re buzzkilled over this news, imagine how the Suns feel?

Ditto Shaq.

He’s pissed about being rumored in trades at the deadline? They were to freaking CLEVELAND, you know, his preferred trade destination so he could play with Lebron.

He’s been around long enough to know the drill. Shut up and dunk already.

And, yes, I know, I’m turning on all of them. But this is the point in the season where the rubber meets the road in terms of heart and mental toughness (listen to the podcast, y’all!). The instant reactions from the team are unimpressive so far.

Shaq is probably mad that he DIDN'T get traded

He’s all about the ring.

Wow even my lowly Warriors

getting healthy are a better team than that. WOW!

We can't slow things down

even if we wanted to. We only have one big now. Maybe things were supposed to happen like this. Maybe Gentry took over at the right time. Maybe it’s time to freaking run like they stole something. If we were underdogs before…I don’t know what this makes us now.
