Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

Shawn Marion talks to Phoenix fans about going to Dallas

Shawn Marion joined the Gambo and Ash show on Sports 620 KTAR just moments ago...

Trix doesn't think that the Suns really were interested in him and said that he never heard from the Suns. Ugh ... He talked about going to Dallas and looking forward to playing with the Mavs and playing with Jason Kidd.

He feels sorry for Suns fans ... he doesn't know what's going on here in Phoenix -- a sad look at how this team is viewed.

Shawn did what he needed to do and I wish him all the best in Dallas. It's a shame he couldn't finish his career here, but that was always a long shot.

Be sure to send Shawn your thoughts and best wishes as a Mav at: @matrix31

Shawn definitely is feeling your twitter love

I wish Shawn all the best

Me too

Trix was always my favorite Sun. Try and be merciful on us over there my brother.

As for this current mess, can anybody anywhere explain what the heck we are doing? Is all this hand wringing simply boiling down to a series of economic decisions? Nothing more and nothing less. If I’m Alvin Gentry I guess I’m wondering who I am going to camp with?

pay cut

From $17m to $8m for 5 years
imagine if he stayed the team would have had much better financial flexibility this year maybe we could have won SAS in the first round and maybe gone to nba finals where the celtics would have beaten us.

at all star break we were at the top of the west and at the end we were 2 losses from the top spot oh how our world has changed

Best of luck

when you are not playing against us. This is horrible, you can expect Marion to improve his numbers. The Mavs just got a lot better. Dirk, Howard, Terry, Barea, Matrix….
Good Lord, have mercy on us.

Somewhat hard to stomach...

Best of luck to him but it’s tough watching everyone get better while we just continue to back step.

Sad Day

It was sad when the Suns traded the Matrix,but to hear that the Suns didnt even try to get Shawn back ….. that is so sad. Once the management team of the Suns decided to get rid of Shawn it was all down hill and it will continue to get worse.I hope The Mavericks win the Championship next year…go Matrix. Kerr and Sarver SUCK!!!!!!

Kerr and Sarver

sit in neutral and just counting the ways to save money.
 Marion is one of many players who are wondering what and the hell is Phoenix doing. The sad thing is Kerr and Sarver don’t even know, except how to shave payroll.

AT LEAST HE'S NOT A SPUR!!!!

That would be heart breaking. They asked on KTAR about how the fans will feel seeing him in the uniform. Yeah, it’ll be upsetting, but no more than seeing him in ANY jersey besides a Suns jersey. And what is Kidd? Chopped liver!? He was a Sun, and a damn good one. I dont like seeing HIM in a Mavs uniform. And to see those two together, yikes.

I wish the best of luck

To my favorite player to wear a Sun’s uniform. The Matrix

Damn.

That hurt to hear…

Matrix fan for life…

Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."

The Best plan

Sad to see Shawn in Mavs uni, one of the top 3 teams I hate Mavs,Spurs, Lakers.

But I got the remedy to help fix everything. We shall start a mob with this community of Suns fans. Gather rocks, sticks, boulders, anything you can throw. I got the Molotov cocktails covered and of course I got my lynching rope.

We will go to Kerr and Sarver’s place of residence and threaten their lives, money wont mean so much to them when there life is on the line. Force them to DO SOMETHING, since this is the OFF SEASON.

Honestly at this point, I doesnt matter what road we take, I dont care, Like most of you I am a Suns Lifer. Im not going to cry if we dont win 50 games, or cry if we trade Nash, or cry if we trade amare. Good players come and good players go. But I do know this much, You dont let the 35 year old Steve Nash hold the team hostage and play armchair GM and have all of us fans in limbo about what is going to happen this season.

Its so funny what the Suns are doing right now, actually Im not even going to say the Suns, im blaming this on the “braintrust” and we know who that is because we have been talking about the two until we are blue in the face.

1.) They are petrified to lose Nash, meaning they aren’t trying to rebuild because Nash wont come back unless we are competitive. But now we know extending Nash is going to cost you at 15 million a year. Absolutely not. Sorry Steve, your going to be 36 in Feb.

2.) They are trying to spend the least amount of money to stay some what competitive so they can sell some tickets this season. I dont care how good of destination is PHX is, players go where the money goes. (except for Artest, who I think is a swimfan for Kobe, Kind of creepy.)

3.) We have a owner that is losing his shorts in the banking industry because of the economy, meaning every time we spend money he winches because he knows that is effecting his immediate bottom line. Not only that but he has his investors breathing down his neck to not lose money as well.

4.) Now we have Amare, our best player, coming off an eye surgery, we havent seen him play in months. Of course everyone in the Amare’s camp is going to say the eye is fine and everything is great. why? Becasue they are asking for a MAX deal at about 20 million a year… On top of that we could not extend him try to muster a trade at the deadline or soon, try and get fair value, then Amare could be great but on another team.. Honestly who writes this stuff?
