I was just thinking about this too and posted it in a comment under the “Get Ariza NOW” post.

I would love for it to happen and couldn’t be more excited to get him back. But that’s just cause he’s my favorite player.
I think he would be a great pick up at probably the MLE. He hasn’t exactly impressed greatly ever since being traded and he was basically perfect for us

Sarver/Kerr can’t admit their mistake in trading away Matrix, therefore, they won’t make a move that would produce wins. Instead, we will trade Amare for spare parts and win 24 games next season without our pick in 2010. I’m not usually like this but I’m feeling a little bitter right now.

I would love to get Anthony Parker and Shawn in Suns uni’s.

Nash/Parker/Marion/Amare/Chander…….BOOOOOOMMMMMMM, but no, Suns brass are idiots.

Yeah I think it would be great to get Marion back, but I too agree that Sarver/Kerr cant admit their mistake and bring the Matrix back but if you can get him at the MLE then why not?

I didn’t like the Shaq trade for Marion….but he did want a max contract at the time. If we brought him back now, after his Miami and Toronto experiences, we might be able to get him for the MLE (especially after what happened w/Toronto yesterday). That would be a good deal.

Regarding our overall roster, I’d keep Nash for the year and not extend him (unless New York were to throw in a couple first rounders) and some young talent to get him this year.

I’d offer Amare a contract worth $14 – 15 mill a year and see if he takes it. Otherwise, I’d either do the same type of trade as with Nash (first round selections and young talent) or let him walk as well.

Building around Nash doesn’t make sense b/c he’s older (from a player standpoint). Building around Amare (at a max contract) is too risky b/c of his issues w/his knees and eyes.

Especially after being way less of a player in Toronto and Miami than he was in Phoenix. Admit you’re mistake Kerr and bring him back!

Miss the team that works together like the D’Antonio days (BK, before Kerr). They were mentally in tune, equally valued, fun to watch, fast, plays-at times-confused opposing teams, clean playing and appeared to really get along. Trading Marion (something was going on behind the scenes) began the broken spirit syndrome. The team got more and more broken/shallow/disjointed as Bell and Barbosa left the Suns bench. Couldn’t find a more Suns dedicated player than The Blur. Kerr doesn’t have that loyalty to the Suns or Phoenix. It’s a paycheck,just a paycheck! I didn’t drop everything to watch the games as before…….too heartbreaking! Of course, I cheered when overrated Shaq was history…did watch that.

Additional notes…..Of course, I remain angered over the referee calls especially when our Suns get kneed and bloodied while the referees fail to “notice” (remember those playoffs?). This year it was changing calls after a call was made. Referees need to get glasses or another job! One last point……Keep coaches off the floor. Where is the NBA? I’ve sent my letters.
