True, I think maybe the Suns weren't really thinking clearly or looking at the field completely before making that decision. :o

Who knows maybe Shaq will prove us all wrong and bring the Suns a ring?

Right... and like in Miami, the Suns will win an average 15 games a season for the remaining of his career...

So any of you guys been paying attention to the east? I kind of like Orlando's future. I think they are only a decent PG away from taking over the east. Ok, maybe Lewis should move back to the SF spot, but I think their speed and outside shooting offset their size issue for now.

congrats on the win azyiu, and I totally forgot about grant. yeah i guess he tops the list for me too.

You must remember the the initial deal was to have kg got to the suns for amarie. That is why is initially did not happen. The they offered marrion and he put a stop to that saying he didnt want to play in minnesota. Sorry t-wolves...

as far as stat's rebounging being down- diaw seems to be rebounding well since the deal. He had 11 tonight off the bench, so I don't see what amare's problem is. Plus that is what they wanted shaq to do. After tonight he has grabbed double digit rebounds in 3 of 4 games. He has a decent night too. 13 points 11 boards and a block in just 24 minutes. Not bad.

Thanks, dude... so how you doing with your new team (sorry, can't remember which team you are with now)? Is it just me, or do teams actually play MUCH tougher D in the playoffs compared to exhibition games? I remember I am able to beat most teams by double digits in the pre-season

Yeah, I remember the initial deal for KG. Honestly, I think I wouldn't mind it if they would've gotten KG for Amare. I like Amare, but I also think with KG + Thomas (assuming they kept him) + Marion + Nash and Raja "Kobe wrestler" Bell, the Suns ain't that much worse than now. They needed a change, period.

I am a big fan of D-Wade and really wish he'd move to a team I like. :\

[GH0STrider]

As long as Riley finds a way to get that team winning again sometime before wade's contract runs out I don't think wade is going anywhere.

Azyiu, I was with the heat but quit mid season to jump on with the bulls. Big suprise huh? lol. Anyhow I updated the roster to reflect the cavs deal and I'm having a blast with this unit. The guard spot (like in real life) is very crowded. So having a hard time finding minutes for duhon and Sefolosha. But all in all I'm doing pretty good. 4-0 since the change and I uped my difiulty to hof. Once I get a ps3 you and I are going to have to get some games going online.

While I still don't like Riley that much, I think he did the smart thing by trading for Marion. Now the Heat's future looks a bit brighter and they should have some money to extend D-Wade in 2010. If they didn't pull off that trade, I truly think D-Wade would definitely leave in 2010, and now I am not so sure. One thing though, why don't they shut down D-Wade right now? The guy's shoulder is still bothering him... it ain't like they are fighting for a playoffs spot or something.

Along the same line of thinking, I would be pretty worry if I were a Cavs fan. If the Cavs don't play well enough in the post season or next year, what you think King James might be thinking? Plus, I heard him and Jay-Z (Net's part owner) are buddies... woo... scary...

Definitely, dude... but the problem (at least for now) is, my PS3 is in the living room, while my internet router is in my room... I am too lazy to get another router for the PS3 just yet. We will see... I will get it hooked up to the net eventually.

[GH0STrider]

You've got some time to make it happen dude, it will be a while before I can afford a ps3

Interesting, so now Jamaal Magloire is a Mavs?

ESPN - Center Magloire, waived by Nets, joins Mavericks - NBA

Can someone tell me this whole thing is not pre-arranged? It feels like half the Nets are now in Dallas and vice versa... all in all, the Mavs need size. I think they would sign ME too, if I were 7' and weight 280lbs.

Whatever you do, do not get the 40Gb version! They cannot play any PS2 games.

[heavyjeffd]

I.... dunno. The guy isn't exactly a stats monster (not that I know much about him, but looking at his stats). They need production, wonder if they think they'll get it there?
