Newman Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Orlando definitely got the better of the deal. VC has been pretty nonexistent for Phoenix. he was good last night, but that doesn't happen often. Pietrus will always be a bench player and yeah, Gortat's good, but Orlando already had Dwight. Just from the Suns' point of view though, they dumped Hedo's terrible contract (it was terrible when he was with the Suns/Raptors), albeit sacrificing Jason Richardson in the process, and got a good big man in Gortat which they desperately needed, got a third/fourth scorer in VC and a player who fits the system perfectly on paper in Pietrus. In retrorespect, this means the Suns' overall moves before and during the season to date is: Amare Stoudemire, Jason Richardson, Earl Clark for Hakim Warrick, Pietrus, Gortat, VC, Josh Childress and possibly Channing Frye due to the cap space created It may not be the greatest of deals, but since Amare was definitely set on leaving unless given max money, they tried their best in getting players which fit the system or fill a need.

Newman Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 No suspension is expected for Kevin Garnett's actions. They didn't want to ruin KG's effort to get special shoes to wear against the Lakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashty Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 ^ Pretty sure Van Gundy said that, unless Barkley also said it after the game.Good call. It was Van Gundy. My bad, I got caught up in the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
