It's been quite some time since I put together a batch of links, but this week gave us more than just a couple that are worth your while. As a new feature of the Friday links, I'm including a music video everyone but myself will probably hate. That's the breaks.[...]

US Airways Centers' parking garage will soon have enough solar panels generating enough energy to power the arena for 26 games.When you think about it for a moment, this is pretty amazing stuff, the kind of thing we would see on the Jetsons as kids or our parents [...]

Thinking her behavior wasn't creepy enough already, she punched his address into Zillow, a popular online real estate site where satellite pictures of homes are often available.According to Zillow, anyone can [...]

(Rate this post) Loading ...The other shoe finally dropped today for DJ Strawberry, as Kerr and Co. traded him to the Houston Snake Eggs for rookie point guard Sean Singletary. The trade according to Kerr:“Sean gives us depth at the point guard spot. We like his instincts and his ability to run a team. He also puts a [...]

(Rate this post) Loading ...I got in line and drank the Kool-Aid when Kerr traded for your bloated contract and insanely large gluteus maximus. I love the charity work you do in what seems like every community you've ever been part of. I even looked the other way when you infamously asked Kobe in front of the whole world how [...]

Our new fearless leader was a guest of Cardinals' coach Ken Whisenhunt yesterday at Cardinals training camp. Sounds like Ken had a nice little Tuesday lined up for he and Terry, as they had some lunch and Coach Porter was asked to [...]

(Rate this post) Loading ...Paul Coro gives us this little tidbit from David Griffin on the newest Sun, Louis Amundson:"defensive intensity, a toughness, a kind of unbridled enthusiasm."No word on whether his story is also one of love, deception, greed, and lust. While it's possible he's a cockeyed optimist, Amundson doesn't look to be a [...]

(Rate this post) Loading ...The Suns signed Louis Amundson to the veteran's minimum contract. Here's the deal: I'm not going to lie. I like to think I know a little something about damn near ever player in the NBA or even guys on the fringe of the league, but I don't have the foggiest idea as to who this [...]

Goran Dragic's situation is a complicated one. Different contracts, buyouts, countries and the NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement combine for some difficulty. To help make this point and maybe even explain the mess a bit (at [...]

The Suns will soon be finalizing a contract with Goran Dragic.Terms have yet to be ironed out, but it looks like Kerr and Co. will get Dragic to sign on the dotted line.This is of course [...]

While I'm not so sure Amare should be described as "mean," he's certainly an intimidating presence when on the floor, as he's been known to unleash a thunderous dunk on an unsuspecting schlub's head from out of nowhere.While his size would be a bonus [...]

The Suns have this tool in Steve Nash and with him leading the charge, they will threaten the Lakers for the Pacific Division title in the National Basketball Association.[...]

Via the great Basketbawful comes this gem, a sampling of Tim Duncan's since corrected wikipedia page:It's funny, I always thought Tony Parker's matching head beard was evidence of a not so secret relationship with Duncan.

The Suns will apparently rescue Matt Barnes from Nellie's doghouse and he'll sign a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum today.There isn't a whole lot to dislike about this deal, as Barnes is a guy who does a little bit [...]

(Rate this post) Loading ...I've had a few run-ins with various Suns players in my life. I've detailed a couple previously, and seeing as we're smack dab in the middle of the offseason and I'm doing nothing but sulking over not being in Vegas for the summer league, I figured today would be good as any to revisit a couple more [...]

As much as I would love to spend a few nights in my favorite Vegas dump and enjoy a few days of watching the Suns youngsters and an assortment of scrubs play in front of minuscule crowds, a trip to Vegas this [...]

(Rate this post) Loading ...Information overload from Paul Coro this bright and sunny morning. We learn the Suns plans for Nash's backup include such young, spry individuals as Sam Cassell and Damon Stoudamire. Other names mentioned include Jason Williams, perhaps Carlos Arroyo, and if a miracle occurs, poor, poor, Shaun Livingston.My thoughts on this news are the same [...]

Ho-hum. Yawn. Meh. Something tells me DJ or LB or (by the grace of God,) Goran, will ably [...]
