Not many free agents in any sport elect to play in New York because of 'family reasons.'' According to a source, it looks like Grant

Wow! I can't wait! Well, actually I can wait but you know, this is exciting news somewhere
What grabbing Shawn Marion means to Dallas - Ball Don't Lie - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
We have no doubt that, like every free agent out there, he wanted to go where the money is best. But the money was great in Phoenix, and Marion had issues not being the center of attention. I'm not going to tell you that he preferred life with two lottery teams in Miami and Toronto following his trade from Phoenix, but you never heard rumors of him griping, despite the losing, despite constant trade rumors that dogged him in both cities.

Yup...it's rough out there

Big rumors now are around Boozer to Chicago and perhaps Hinrich to Portland. Portland also is looking at Milsap

Suns add Japanese guard.

Does this remind anybody else of the movie major league or is it just me? Maybe they can get a cutout of Shaq and everytime they lose a game an article of clothing is removed.

This poll is extremely difficult to participate in

I’ve experienced everything from #1 to #6 in the recent past (yeah, even #6).

And I’ll say that such emotional roller coastering is even worse than feeling consistently depressed.

With the 14th pick of the 2009 NBA draft, the Pheonix Suns select... 3 million dollars!

For the love of God

Why in the hell hasn’t Kerr done a single thing but talk?!
Apparently “Financial Freedom is a few moves away!” http://ktar.com/index.php?nid=112&sid=1187377

That’s the thing it might be….but not if you don’t make a move.
This is just getting ridiculous. They say they want Hill. Why haven’t I heard the Suns make him an offer yet? They have interest in all these free agents but it’s all simply talk.
I think I’m genuinely becoming pissed off now.
Stop talking and start acting. (Easier said than done right? Sure)

36% percent of you are "close to ejecting"?

REALLY? REALLY?

That’s just embarrassing. 1 bad season on the heels of 4 amazing ones and you’re ready to jump ship? Please do. Quickly. And don’t look back. Maybe there’s room for you over on the Cardinals’ bandwagon.
