I mean, think back to the 2005 and 2006 Suns. In 2005 they were right there battling the Spurs to 6 games in the WCF, and then the same happened in 2006 against the Mavs... hell, they didn't even have Amare at all in 2006. I firmly believe if the Suns' management stayed patient and wouldn't given Joe Johnson away while keeping all of their first round picks; they would have made it by now, I firmly believe that!
As far as getting rid of those Knicks... well, if James Dolan is crazy enough to give Isiah Thomas a fat extension in 2007, don't be surprised when he throw a "Michael Corleone" and buying everyone out!  Their goal is get under the cap by 2010 for a shot at LeBron, D-Wade, Bosh etc. I might be the only one on the planet to think this way, but something tells me LeBron would leave the Cavs to either the Nets or the Knicks in 2010. |
Think even harder back to the wcf of 2005 and 2006. Why did the suns lose those series? Cause they played against far superior defensive units who were able to shut them down. Mike's approach has been given a chance- with one of the best teams in the nba. What more of a chance to you need to see that it doesn't work? The knicks aren't going to prove anything the suns already have. They aren't going to buyout eddy curry, zach randalph, Steph Marbury, or jamal crawford. Those guys have problems on and off the court but they are proven and valuable nba talents none the less. They could trade them for something I'm sure, my point in the previous post is that they won't get anywhere near equal value because of the weaknesses that their time with the knicks has expossed. Lebron is from cleveland, he wouldn't jump ship. The cavs will always be able to pay him and he has had great success the past 3 years. They are just a player away from a tittle. They simply need a good number 2 option.

what is that suppossed to mean? How have I ever been a fair weather fan? I have talked shit about the celtics since day one. Just cause they are winning know doesn't mean I am a fan. I simply see a talented team. calling it as you see it does not make you a fair weather fan. Further more- I have never claimed to be a celtic fan. I'm not. Never have been, never will be.
