Stay tuned

Stay tuned fellow Suns citizens....Camp will open on Tuesday.
There will be some basketball played....Finally !

Go Suns !

Suns sign Dragic...finally

The Suns will open camp in a few days with their back up PG ready to go. Goran Dragic is officially a Sun as yesterday signed a three-year deal (with an option on a fourth season).
It's quite important to have a PG in camp from day one as he'll need all the time he can to know his teammates, learn the plays and get ready for life in the NBA.
Goran has talent, that's a given, has size (6-4) and a tremendous upside at 22 years of age.
Whether those qualities will make him a good NBA guard will be seen. We'll try not to put too much pressure on him...so please stop all those Tony Parker comparisons.

In the meantime, welcome to the Valley!

I can smell training camp around the corner, finally.

Go Suns !

Two meaningless news of the week

I can't wait for the season to begin...I am looking to see that damn basketball bounce again...please. Can't stand any more weeks of Suns news of this great relevance...

First, the Suns invite 3 players to camp, non of whom will have a chance to make the Opening Day roster. In case you care those invited are Robert Hite, former Heat player, Trey Johnson, last seen in Summer League play following a year in Serbia, and Jiri Hubalek from Jackson State...Huba who?
In case you wonder, Suns already have 13 players under contract for next year.

Then, The Big Cactus declares he will retire at the end of his current contract....Really? I believed Shaq was gonna play until 50.

Whatever, Camp opens in Tucson in less then three weeks. Looking forward to Year I of the Porter Era

Go Suns !

2008/2009 The Top 5 Suns Dancers

It's the off season, I'd rather check the Suns Dancers roster then reading about Thunder Dan producing a movie.

Having a look at the new cheerleading squad, selected from a very crowded auditions (tough choice must have been).

I have to admit this year's group looks promising. The road to catch the NBA finest, The 3-time NBA Dance Bracket champ Miami Heat Dancers, is still a long one, but Suns dancers are on their way.

Anyway, here's my preseason top 5.

1. Kayla (Arizona, 3rd year). Still the best, an All Star for years to come. The "Steve Nash" of dancing. This season KTAR poster girl.

2. Brooke (Arizona, 1st year). Could replace Brandy if give playing time. Rookie of the year stuff.

3. Brittany A (Wyoming, 2nd year) Could be the year of the Brittanys' ?

4. Brittany B (Arizona, 3rd year) Former KTAR Billboard girl

5. Amanda R (Indiana, 2nd year) Hoping to avoid a sophmore slump. Looks just great

Way to go, Girls !

Go Suns !

Nothing to write

This is possible the worst part of the year for basketball fans as the new season is getting closer but it's still a good two months away.

Draft is forgotten, unless you consider Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur recent "off the field" performance. I know boys will be boys....as they say, but are these kids dumb or what? The NBA rookies Orientation program is basically about Women, Drugs and Finance.

Trade talks and free agent signings are done.

Of course, since the season is getting closer a few Suns players are actually coming to the Valley for various activities: support the Mercury, announce the Suns will go solar in 2009 and talking to the press like STAT did last week on Suns.com.

So nothing really to write about. I thinks I'll check the 2009 Suns Dancers over the weekend, maybe the season will look better.

Go Suns!
