What? Stubbornly? If Amare and Boris didn't get that questionable suspension in the Spurs series, the Suns are probably champions right now. There's little doubt that barring some major offseason event, Vegas will give them the second best odds to win the title next year, even without Garnett.

Someone is always "probably champions right now".

Every year.

If Avery had played our 67 regular season lineup in Game 1 we would probably be champions right now.

Nope..... it works no matter what round.

I really does make you thankful for an owner that is at least willing to dip into luxury tax still, if need be.

Can you imagine the uproar around here if we were selling first round picks for nothing for three years running?

Cuban pays cash to move up from #60 to #44...

Sarver takes cash to dump his #24 pick for nothing...

Yeah "probably." Who knows for sure? The Spurs beat them in game 1 @ phx, they could've done it again.

And didn't Utah beat the Suns 3 times last year?

What's that old saying? "If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got?" or something to that efect.

KG to the Warriors? Looks possible

Wolves want Brandan Wright, Monta Ellis, Patrick O'Bryant and Andris Biedrins

Warriors are Offering Brandan Wright, Monta Ellis, Patrick O'Bryant and Al Harrington

Sounds like it could be the kind of done-deal that Phoenix was. They keep Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson so they could be dangerous.

I don't see how the salaries match... Biedrins and Ellis are still in their rookie contracts.

I just posted it in another thread, but making the salaries match for Golden State will be very difficult. They cannot combine their trade exception with players in a trade. Outside of Baron Davis, they have $34 million in contracts, so in order to pair KG and Baron they would need to trade about 2/3 of their remaining salary (KG makes $22 mil). That means including Harrington, Foyle, and Jackson even before they can sweeten the deal with desirable prospects.

Man, just checked it out.............GSW are in worse shape to get KG now since they can't include the trade exception.

There is another team, or if GSW does this, then KG is just on anther team without any talent.

If Minn doesn't take SJax or AFoyle (which I have heard they don't want) then Harrington, and all those others don't make enough to get KG without BDiddy being included.

If you include Harrington and/or BDiddy --- with JRich gone --- why would KG want to go there. NO talent left.

WOW
