Calling for change

Let's make a trade already.

This is frustrating, either the Suns staff comes out and says that they're going to salvage this season and aim for lottery or they trade everyone they really don't need to win.

Get high profile names, players that can benefit the owner by putting fans in the seats while playing quality basketball. How could San Antonio get someone like Tim Duncan and keep him for 12 years ? How about Dirk in Dallas? I know that we got Steve Nash, but there's always been enough money in the valley to bring in a sidekick.

We let Amare go and got nothing in return. And that really hurts anyway you look at .

Here's how we should look at it, the following people should stay : Alvin Gentry, Steve Nash, Grant Hill, Jared Dudley, Goran Dragic, Marcin Gortat ... Everyone else is expendable.

Get a new starting five, get some more size, this team we have now is just not working. I wish we can fall all the way down to get a decent PF, but we are usually too proud to do it and end up making a run by April . The money generated by Carter's contract and the departure of whoever will not be handy unless we use it, and use it wisely.

I hate to see Steve Nash's last stint in a Suns uniform go down as a failure, there's a difference between adapting and giving up and all we've been doing lately is giving up

Kevin Love

What are your guys thoughts about trying to acquire him?

He wants to win now as quoted in the above link.

What would it take to get him here?

A boat load.

Minnesota is a dumb franchise, but not that dumb.

In fairness,

with the addition of an elite power forward, we were a top four team last playoffs.

Does he believe he can do and/or improve on what Amare did for us?

Phoenix Suns really need a center who can rebound. If Phoenix really want to reach to the playoffs this year. They should get Kevin Love. Only 3 Suns players should be untouchable & should not be included in the trade they are Steve Nash, Grant Hill, & Jared Dudley. Everybody in the Suns Roster are expendable even Lopez & Dragic. Trade Lopez, Dragic, Warrick & some 1st round draft picks for Kevin Love, Wayne Ellington & Sebastian Telfair. I think Minnosta will go for it.

We have a center who can rebound

It’s just that he can’t rebound when he’s constantly forced to cover up guards who get past our initial defenses on the perimeter.

We need a PF who can rebound to play next to our center who can rebound. Either that, or use Channing to cover up penetration, so that Gortat can be a rebounder first.

Trade Warrick!!!

1st of all we did just make a trade
2nd The two guys you mentioned that stuck around are the only two guys in the entire league that has stuck with their teams (and are all stars). I dont count kobe because he was ready to jet until they got gasol.
your ready to sell the farm on Kevin Love when i think if we are going to sell the farm lets see what else is available. I like the idea of Ellington, i think he could be our new JRich.
Telfair seems to have too much attitude. Either way, i dont think we are ready to blow up that much YET. Maybe by all star.

NYC Suns Fan!!!
