Yo, Babs, I can't take this Toronto bullshit anymore.

BabsLuvr69

Don't worry, I just got a gig with the Suns. The owner's an idiot. I can bring you aboard.

ClubTurk85

Sweet.

There's just one thing. You'll have to give up your trade kicker and 10% of your salary. But on the brightside, there's Scottsdale!

ClubTurk85

Make it happen!

You folks do realize that Turkoglu is untradable, not just because of his contract, but his relationship with Babby. He won't be traded unless Boston or Miami come calling.

Auld Lang Syne

Love him or hate him, deride his defense or celebrate his progress, we should all be happy for Amar'e Stoudemire. He got his wish to be the leader of a young team in the style that made him famous. Also there's this...

Our little spoiled immature boy is growing into a man. *tear*

He's finally the man on the NBA's biggest stage, he's going to tear up the league, and I'm happy for him. You should be, too.

The 4 Hole

Has an internet meme ever been so appropriate in sports as it is now?

Seriously. WTF? There's a black hole where the power forward should be, all because the basketball retard hired an agent to run his basketball operations. Nothing like hiring a built in conflict of interests to manage your personnel moves. Before picking a GM to oversee basketball moves, Babs picked a former client to play the 4. Slick move, suckering a basketball baboon.

Even more mind-altering in its power to baffle was the move to grab Hakim Warrick off the hot stove before anyone else got him. The Suns have liked Warrick for years, we know, and they finally landed him.

Yup. We finally got the guy to back up Amar'e Stoudemire. Only one problem.

At least we nabbed Josh Childress. That dude should have been here four years ago backing Shawn Marion. Not too little, not too late on that one, though.

The sad thing is, we have all these trade chips, but nothing to trade for. Their costs are more than their values, and we'd be lucky to get a Dwayne Jones for them.

Trade Talk

Someone will be traded by January. Will it be...

Frye? Only if there is a god.

Hill, who deserves a shot at a title?

Richardson to a playoff hopeful?

Nash, who could undercut Chris Paul for D'Antoni's open
point guard position?

We can only hope some desperate GM comes calling for Turkoglu to replace his injured small forward while looking to make some noise in the playoffs.

My Opinion

We're looking at a 48-win season here. Don't count on the playoffs, and don't count on a good bounce in the lottery. To be perfectly candid - our team has been fucked up beyond all recognition. Let's send Nash to New York. Send Hill to Boston. Unload Frye on Miami. Wait for Turkoglu to whine and dine his way out of town.

We haven't seen such a dire need for a rebuild since Michael Jackson's fourth nose.
