    Steve Kerr admits Kurt Thomas trade was horrible

    By the time he left, even you thought so: http://www.arizonasportsfans.com/vb/f7/ktar-reporting-steve-kerr-not-returning-as-gm-153589-11.html

    Steve Kerr admits Kurt Thomas trade was horrible

    Facts? Ok. Fact is, when news broke that Sarver lowballed Kerr and he wasn't staying, the majority of people here were disappointed, because he had done such a nice job getting the Suns back to the WCF. Your reaction to Kerr leaving...

    Steve Kerr admits Kurt Thomas trade was horrible

    Quite the opposite, actually. It just shows that Sarver basically forced him to do it. He even says that he had to do it to "save money for our organization". Translation: didn't want to do it, but had no choice.

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    When did I say that? I just think Nash is not egotistical in the sense you mentioned (which indicated selfishness). At all.

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    What's interesting is that you choose the one post that sounds "black and white" and respond to it, yet when AzStevenCal gives a perfect representation of the way some people see competitiveness that is not at all in black and white terms, you ignore it. I'll give you another chance and quote it...

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    I agree it's not the same, but it is comparable. How many people thought the Mavs had a chance before last season started? Not too many. He could've gone to a contender and had had a better chance. He took a huge risk and it paid off. But the thing is, even if the Mavs hadn't won the title, I'm...

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    I'm not going to argue about this competitiveness thing anymore. Clearly, we see things differently. All I know is that I want the players on the Suns to be competitive and give their all ON THE FLOOR. Hill and Nash are as competitive as any player I've ever seen in that regard. And that's all...

    I was referring to the "all-time greats" thing.

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    EVERYBODY is only competitive to a degree. Dirk had a chance to leave the Mavs last year. People were saying he'd have a better chance of winning if he left, but he stayed. He didn't know he was going to win, but he stayed and his competitiveness and talent willed his team to the title. For me...

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    I just have a different idea of competitiveness, one that doesn't require being a jerk or a primadonna. If that's your idea of competitiveness, doing ANYTHING to win, well, ok, no need to argue with you. We just have very different concepts. NO PLAYER does anything to win. Some players are...

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    It's not about being loyal to Sarver. It's about being loyal to the fans, the community and to the fact that HE SIGNED A CONTRACT and it's his job to honor it. And yeah, Nash and egotistical go hand in hand.

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    I'm not getting into totally subjective concepts like "all-time greats". I think Nash and Hill are just as competitive as everybody else, but winning a title doesn't make or break their lives. Good for them. I think Dirk is just like them, by the way, and he still willed his team to a title. If...

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    "Will to win" is relative. When they're playing, their "will to win" can't be questioned. They just don't want to win at ANY cost. And most people are like that. For Kobe, who is said to be the most competitive guy in the NBA, winning just wasn't enough. He had to be the man. Was he lacking...

    Michael Pietrus traded to Toronto

    I'd be totally fine with it even if it were for "future considerations." The important thing is that Pietrus is gone.

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    That winning it all doesn't define a player's career? That there's more to a career than simply "chasing a championship"? In Grant Hill's case, that there's more to life than basketball? He loves living in Phoenix, doesn't want to uproot his family or spend a year far from it. I give both of...

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    Better chemistry usually leads to a better team, and just getting rid of Vince Carter and Mickael Pietrus accomplishes that. The Suns lost Shaq, replaced him with Frye and still improved a lot. Of course, back then the Suns had Amar'e, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Suns challenged...

    Chandler to NY

    Again, if the Suns wanted to trade Nash, re-signing Hill for 6.5M wouldn't have made any sense. Since the Knicks also wanted him but couldn't offer more than the MLE, they could've simply signed-and-traded him to the Knicks for a second-rounder and then traded Nash for Shumpert, a pick and...

    Chandler to NY

    The reason Billups is being amnestied is to make room for Chandler. The Knicks can't absorb Nash's contract while giving just Shumpert in return. With the new CBA, it's a little easier to make that kind of trade, but you still have to make salaries match to a certain extent.

    Grant Hill Reportedly Leaning Toward Knicks

    Forget it, slin, or you'll be disappointed. A team intending to tank is not going to pay 6.5M to a 39-year-old role player. The plan is clearly to be semi-competitive this year and try to make a splash next year. You might not like it, but now it's pretty clear. The only way they decide to...

    Michael Pietrus traded to Toronto

    According to Coro, Hill will return to Phoenix. 1-year, 6.5M deal.

    Paul to Lakers

    Donald, I actually don't have a problem with the trade and think it would have been reasonably fair. But I don't agree with this. I agree Paul has leverage, but I don't think he should have. He's under a contract he signed being well aware of the fact that, after he signed it, the team had his...

    Michael Pietrus traded to Toronto

    Yeah, do you have a link, slin? Honestly, I don't understand why Toronto does it. Do they need to reach the salary floor or something? But if that's true, it opens up a lot of possibilities for the Suns. 1) They simply wanted to save some more money this season and get a pick for next...
