The tension builds as the NBA trade deadline inches closer. Will he stay or will he go? The "he" of course, is Amare Stoudemire. The "will he" seems more of a matter of when than if. Two weeks ago it seemed a guarantee Stoudemire would be gone before the February 18 deadline. Now, a five-game winning streak and Stoudemire's talk of not opting out of his contract have [...]

Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports a three-way trade between Detroit, Philly and Phoenix has at least been talked about. Keaton (a.k.a. the Trade Talker) doesn't like the frontcourt return for Phoenix, while Matt marvels at trades happening (or not happening) because of finances rather than basketball. As for Stoudemire himself, if you have a better trade in mind for Phoenix, or other questions/comments, please e-mail them to [...]

Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns

While the Suns are in the midst of a five-game win streak in which Nash averaged 17.6 points and 11.8 assists, trade speculation and rumors have surrounded [...]

Today, Feb. 7th Steve Nash (Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via Getty Images) turns 36 (it's already 2010) and for the Sons of Steve Nash it feels like Christmas. February 7th, 1974 it's the day it all begun in sunny South Africa. So, to remind everyone about the importance of this date in Suns (and World's) history, I'd like us to think why we love Steve without even mentioning MVP [...]

NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge
The starting center for the Western Conference All-Stars feels he's underappreciated in the NBA. It's not that Amare Stoudemire feels his current skills are underappreciated, he doesn't even feel that people lack respect for what he's accomplished since 2005. He isn't even frustrated because of current trade rumors or the lack of a contract extension. No, Stoudemire, the Phoenix Suns leading [...]
