A few days ago, while discussing my best of the west with a friend, he posed a question: “So what happens if Steve Nash gets traded?” “So what if he does,” I replied. “And besides, there aren’t any rumors surrounding a trade with Nash.” I didn’t understand what he was getting at. “No, I know,” he told me. “I just wanted to see if you’re really a Phoenix Suns fan or if you just like [...]

Steve Kerr's drafting ability has been the butt of Suns' fans jokes for the better part of three years. Even I, your humble Sports Retorter, wasn't above dropping the occasional satirical reference at the Suns' general manager's expense. I'm here to say I'm sorry (Don't tell my wife, she doesn't think that word is part of my vocabulary). Sure, Steve Kerr traded the rights to Rudy Fernandez and selected Alando Tucker and [...]

Suns Clippers Basketball
Photo: Hector Mata/AP I know it's only two huge wins against the Los Angeles Clippers, who were without several key components of their already sorry team, but I'm liking the Alvin Gentry version of the Suns.
