Take my word for it...Howard Eisley is the next big thing. He's got great handle, a sweet, consistent 3-point shot and he can dunk with the best of them. He just keeps it all packaged up and doesn't want to show the world "everything" ya know.

Re: Starbury returns to NYC?!?

I think Knicks are a playoff team with the trade now i love the trade for them. If they can trade Van Horn or Shandon Anderson wow i think they might be able to if they package Kurt Thomas/Frank Williams with one of them remember Kurt is in the last year of his contract and Frank wont see a-lot of playing time with starchild.

Yeah, another gripe I had about this one for Phoenix is that usually when you give away arguably the best player on one team (Marbury) your supposed to get something of relative equal value in return.

I think for a Phoenix fan, such as yourself, I think you have to be really happy with the deal. The seriousness of it is, "What were the Suns going to do this season with Marbury? Or even next season?" A first round loss in the playoffs to one of the top four teams in the west? With this deal, the Suns could be really competetive during the 04 - 05 season. Just think how sweet this deal becomes if one, or both, of those draft picks are lottery choices? Lampe and Vujanic are very good prospects, and the cap room is a great addition.

With that money, the Suns could make a run at a point guard, who would be much cheaper than Marbury, but I think would mesh well with Amare and Shawn, Steve Nash. SI rumored that they may be interested in him or possibly a multi-team trade for another star (maybe, Kobe?).

Bottom line, the Suns get a chance for a fresh start next season, possibly lottery picks, cap room, and two prospects who could contribute greatly in a season or two.

Re: Starbury returns to NYC?!?

Oh yeah, definately. As time goes on and I review the trade over and over, it looks better each and every time for us. Dont get me wrong, I'm thrilled at the possibilities. I just hope we dont try for Kobe, thats all I ask. I doubt we'll go for him anyway, since Colangelo runs a squeaky clean first class organization.

I dont think we're goin after Nash. I really think that they believe this Vujanic guy is gonna fit in, and hopefully he does. Barbosa filled in nicely tonight for Stephon....he's gonna be a good bench player for years to come, and might be able to start for us till the end of the season.

Re: Starbury returns to NYC?!?

On draft day when they drafted barbosia i told myself what the hell are they doing? now it seems like a good pick for them. I doubt the pick next year will be a lottery pick because i have a feeling knicks will make it to the playoffs because the east is weak. Now if Isiah can get rid of kvh the knicks look better then ever.
