Shaq Traded to Cavs



Looks like we're gonna need another bid come draft time...Maybe draft Mullens at 14...

 

Looks like more run-n-gun Suns coming our way  I assume we will get rid of Wallace somehow and maybe keep Pavlovic as a 3 point shooter.  Although waiving him makes some sense as well...

 

Sad to see our team resorting to rebuilding but it's time.  Maybe we can pick us Shawn Marion as a free agent and really start having some fun again.

Well.....

Cant say I’m too happy for not getting their first round pick out of it, but we all knew it was going to happen either way. Maybe we can actually do somethng with the money we saved. Of course that would require our FO to not fail at life.

Goodbye Shaq, you exceeded almost all our expectations except one…….we are still woefully lacking a ring.

Nash sells jerseys and tickets

But I think Sarver would sell his own mother for cap space.

I think it’s pretty clear that Nash was never going to be gone this year (next year remains unclear) since the team has the option. Pretty sure, however, that Nash wanted Shaq gone. Their styles clearly oppose and having Shaq probably created a fair amount of chemistry concerns…

We now have a single center on our roster: Robin Lopez.
Which means that we need some centers. As I see it, BJ Mullens should be available at the 14. There aren’t any other true centers except for Thabeet (who I see as a slightly better Olowokandi) projected in the first round. Certainly a crappy project center will be available in the second round with one of our 3 picks, assuming we keep them.

That leaves us with the option of picking up a center in free agency. There aren’t many options…Maybe Marcin Gortat who would fit in well here, but then again we sold his draft rights once. Zaza Pachulia is a free agent, but he’s not very good. In fact, I can’t find a decent center on the free agent wire. However, we only need someone capable of not getting in the way on offense, and someone who can rebound and guard the Pick n Roll on defense. I wish I knew who that player was though.

I really don’t know what direction this franchise is taking and I’m interested to see what happens tomorrow. I will be at the Suns Draft party at Dave N Busters where I’m sure a ton of propoganda will be spewed to the masses…

The fraud known as "run-n-gun" will not return

It’s over. Nash is old and gettin shittier by the minute.

Re-sign Marion? Have you seen him play at all the past year? Besides, you think he’d take a HUGE paycut to return with HIS ego? I t hink not

Keeping Pavlovic at 5 million is insane….no chance Sarver would do that, its now the era of save a buck
