    Anyone think we can ditch Eisley and the number 7 to Utah for one of their late picks and get Anderson Varejao?

    Otherwise we all already kinda knew they'd leave these two open.

    I wish we could send $3 mill, Cavs pick and Eisley instead of White

    those are two smart unprotections. Hopefully we can get rid of them, that would be a nice drop in salary but it will definatley require us losing some picks and what not.

    Okay, new guy here. Suns fan, though I was a bulls fan first during jordan's heydey (hey I lived in Chicago then, sue me). I've only really gotten into suns basketball at the very end of last (ie before spurs championship title) season and on through this most recent season. I have unfortunately missed a lot of suns game since the spring semester began at school, I hadn't missed a single one up to that point.

    Anyway, I liked white's aggressiveness. I've seemed to notice (and talked to about) the suns lack of a big middle guy. Someone to clear the boards and generally have a solid presence underneath. Is there anyone in the (near) future who might be able to come fill that role or are the suns focusing more on the PG position for now?

    There isn't any big man in the draft they're looking at seriously, but there are rumors they are will be going after Detroit's Okur pretty heavily. They want his perimeter finesse to complement Amare's post presence. Otherwise LAmpe night develop into a starting center, though they list him as a forward... If Shaq moves East we might be able to get Dampier in FA. There is a slim chance at Camby (next to none).
    For point guards the draft has three top notch prospects (I dunno about Harris after his recent workouts) however so that is an easier avenue for one of our two problems (PG and C). In free agency there is Nash. We have some chance of getting him but don't hold your breath. We also have Milos Vujanic who might come over (do a google search) from Europe.

    Jahidi has zip for basketball IQ is one of the big problems. I saw him throw an inbounds pass off the back of Marion once when a guard was waiting to take it up. I'm not sure what the whole laundry list of his problems is, but he picks up fouls quickly it seemed. He sure was good against Shaq and Traylor though...

    I dunno the specifics I don't get to see as many games as I'd like. (Next season League Pass!)
