The Suns have gotten good at spinning their boneheaded moves…“Good for team chemistry” in other words, we didn’t want to bring in somebody who might actually challenge for minutes and make player X unhappy that he had to actually earn his minutes instead of getting them by default.

This move makes NO SENSE! Even if he is buried at the end of the bench we don’t need another 3/4 combo and you’re trying to tell me Dowdell wouldn’t have played for the same amount of money at a position we actually could use some more depth at? At least Amare is going to be a beast this year.

Maybe there is something to him being a good citizen and not causing any headaches, however.

there are definitely guys out there that everyone wants to play with. steve nash is one of those guys. he just seems like a good guy that you can get along with off court, and on the court, he helps make you look good by getting the ball to you when you need it. good chemistry.

while griffin may not make you look good on the court (unless he actually plays, and people say, wow, i guess robin lopez actually ISN’T the worst player on the team), he seems like one of the guys you want to have around in the locker room to joke with, to buddy up with, and to have a good time with.

and, it also helps that that guy that you can joke, buddy up, and have a good time with actually has a sense of work ethic. for the league minimum, why not give him a shot? maybe he really will rub off on clark. maybe there were some things we don’t know about dowdell. (maybe he was a little too much of a prima donna?)

all’s i know is, taylor griffin is now a phoenix sun, whether you like it or not. he seems to be a great guy, a hard worker, and while he may not possess the greatest skill set, he’s an inexpensive player to fill out the roster spot.

and, to end on a question to put things into perspective: selected 57th overall in the 2005 draft, who actually knew that marcin gortat was going to be the player he is today?

Wow, some of those girls couldn’t dance to save their lives!

You’ve watched her a bit more than I…

The Spears article says:

First up: Finding a pair of goggles. Stoudemire never would have needed season-ending surgery if he hadn’t abandoned the goggles he used last fall after his initial injury. His newest pair will be big enough to cover his entire eye area – bigger, he said, than the pair former Los Angeles Lakers forward James Worthy used to wear.

Ah…that explains why he wants to wear goggles indefinitely. I thought he was being superstitious.
