Steve Nash heaped praise on his teammates following their elimination at the hands of the Lakers on Saturday night and added that he would love to see the team stick together. "It's pretty clear I'd like to keep the group together," Nash said. "It's phenomenal to come to work every day with the group of guys we had, everyone fighting for the same thing, proving when you commit to one another and to what we're trying to do, you know, you really can -- all the clichés really are true. You can maybe be greater than the sum of your parts." Phoenix forward Amar'e Stoudemire can opt out of the final year of his contract, which will pay him $17.7 million. http://espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page/dime-100529/daily-dime
This may sound crazy but I think the Suns would be better if they got Raja Bell back and had him replace Jason Richardson. Bell brought the toughness and scoring to the SG position. When the Suns played the Lakers there was no one to guard Kobe.
