I'm not exactly sure when this originally aired so forgive me if you've watched it already and I'm late to the party, but I rather enjoyed Bill Simmons and Suns Summer League baller Rod Benson hanging out and messing around. And if you're thinking to yourself, "jeez, this friggin' guy looooves posting videos, he must have nothing [...]

In continuing our series previewing the Suns Summer League roster, I give you Taquan Dean.
Dean was a standout at Louisville through 2005, when he was considered a lock for the first round of the NBA draft. His example serves as a cautionary tale to NCAA players who choose not to get while the gettin's good. After returning for his senior

After a nice long weekend in which tennis finally became relevant in a way it hasn't been since the movie Wimbledon came out in decades, it's time to get back to basketball.

I hope you had the pleasure today of watching at least part of the epic battle between the reigning five time champion and the upstart Spaniard. It was an incredible match filled with drama, heart and unbelievable talent.

Of course for those of us in Phoenix, the five hour drive north will actually mean a few degrees of relief. For those coming from elsewhere, bring your sun screen.

Of course, I'm not suggesting anybody should actually do this, but the Sonics move is a complete disgrace, and I can't think of a more suitable punishment for big Dave for not stopping it.
But lets be clear here.. the balance of power in the NBA has always been between owners and everybody else. Remember, the other owners

I'm all about optimism. I've been basking in it since the Porter hire, because what's the point of being all gloom and doom before the season has even begun? But...

Paul Coro in the AZ Republic has a great recap and update on the Dragic pick.
Here's the key plot points:
Dragic cannot be bought out of his contract with Spanish club Tau Ceramica until July 2009. The buyout is $1,550,000, with the Suns able to pay $500,000.
In 2010 he would be free, but he likely will

nahyB7a6LVU Not sure which way the Suns are going, but at least Robin Lopez is very a funny guy. After watching his press conference I already love Robin Lopez! But...Lopez is at best an NBA bench player, maybe a solid pro for years but will take time to develop since the guy, based on what I know is very limited with the [...]

This next incarnation of the Phoenix Suns promises to be a noticeable departure from the last few seasons.
Gone are the undersized speed demons and their spiritual leader preaching the mantra of "the best defense is a great offense". Gone too are the lofty expectations of the media and fans which lead our collective eyes to focus (perhaps

Sure, Robin Lopez could turn into a great NBA player, but after waiting four years for the Suns to cash in the Atlanta pick, it was quite anticlimactic. In a draft that touted such talent as OJ Mayo, Derrick Rose, Jerryd Bayless and others the Suns came away with a "defensive minded" player [...]

Thursday, the Phoenix Suns drafted Stanford big man Robin Lopez with the 15th overall pick in the NBA Draft. It got me to thinking about Stanford's reputation as a training ground for the NBA. Certain schools like Wake Forest, Georgetown and North Carolina develop players to succeed at the next level. While schools like [...]

Despite rumor after rumor, the Phoenix Suns stood pat, and kept the number 15 selection in the first round of the NBA Draft on Thursday. With that selection, they chose Stanford big man Robin Lopez, who was rated by most experts as the 2nd best 7-footer named Lopez in this year's draft. Brooke Lopez was [...]
