So with the season kicking off we looked into the first game of the season for our Suns and if not the biggest challenge of them all, the Oaklahoma City Thunder. You may have thought this was a one sided game but all through out it was full of action. Steve Nash led the Suns to a victory with 19 points and 8 assists over Durant's lowly 33 points and 12 rebound game. After the game Kevin Durant spoke with us and expressed his thoughts:
"The Suns. They just straight up beat us. We executed but they executed more often I guess. Its all good we'll see them again... the Suns."
Russel Westbrook was not available for an interview as he was tending to Kendrick Perkin's damaged ego.
Steve Nash spoke with us after the game as well.
"Um yea I love playing here I want to stay a Sun. Like you saw tonight we can beat the higher ranked teams and this was no fluke! Let us show you Abbot & Rubix!"
Steve Nash then walked off with the rest of his teammates in some sort of
don't trade me march. It was unfortunate for Nash that he had demanded such high praise from the new owners because I don't think he realized he was on the Suns of new and not of old. The team went on to lose seven of the next nine games. After this horrible start Grant Hill spoke after their last game and most recent loss to the Bulls.
"I am fed up with the management. If they want to trade me, trade me, all I know is if I'm here next season I might as well hang it up."
Grant Hill retirement talk has been in the air for a while now but now it is out in the open, and as a threat to boot. So as it is right now we see Grant Hill gone anytime between now and the trade deadline, but probably sooner rather than later. I won't be surprised if one of those upper echelon teams would throw a draft pick at the Suns for the vet just to get that extra push. I'm not sure how much of a push Hill will give you but I definitely don't think it would hurt. Maybe the Mavs could pick him up and they could all write their grandchildren together or whatever the elderly do. Either way, Grant Hill will be gone but hopefully for Kensei Abbot he can find some value.
"I am torn at the moment. I hoped to see hill retire here as a Sun but the situation he has placed us in requires us to take a different route. I want to see him happy, I'd hate to see an NBA great mistreated."
Now that basically both Hill and Nash are on the outs with the organization we wonder what type of package deals the Suns could put together to get a big trade happening that could jump start this rebuilding process.
"We've narrowed down a few candidates that might be attracted to the Sun's 'package' of Nash, Hill, either Gortat or Lopez and possibly another such as Channing Frye.." A deal could happen any time soon said Don Rubix, it should also be noted he does not give a fuck.
"I still can't believe we've lost all these games. I don't know what Kensei is doing holding on to some of these guys. Don't worry I'll make sure I take care of business. Ha.. ha.. ha."
So according to our scouts these are currently the players on the 800 Bills radar:
Oj Mayo
Michael Beasley
Lou Williams
Danny Granger
Monta Ellis
Devin Harris
Woah woah, fans I must say that the way these trade talks are developing it is possible to say that the trade may go down before I finish writing this very article. Yep, the trade is in! But, with a few minor details that were not included in the original deal. Suns fans welcome Josh Smith, Kirk Hinrich, Eric Dampier and say goodbye to Nash, Hill and Shannon Brown. Also the Phoenix Suns will be sending over a 2013 2nd round pick for the Hawks first round pick this year. Seems as if the Hawks are loading up to make a big playoff run this post-season. Don Rubix & Kensei Abbot will be available for questioning later tonight at the press conference, hopefully I will see you all there.
