Yea I would have to agree that Eisley is a little better than Moochie. I just really don't want him back because of his salary. We need to transform this team's image from old overpaid vets to younger and talented players that don't have ridiculous contracts. The only time I think we should take back a bad contract is if it is a player that can help us (i.e Jerome Williams) like what we did with Penny.

No way jose, id pass on that. Just watch and wait to see how much trouble pheonix will have trading marions contract. To me TT is enough because of the back end of that contract.

eisley is better than Norris but to me its just a salary swap. But if im playing someone 5-10 minutes here and there---giving starbury and FW all the time other than FT or injury--id favor Eisley.

"TT & KT for Matrix & Eisley...would you make that trade?"




As much as I hate Eisley, I might do that trade since Marion is easily a top 3 SF. I really do think Tim is gonna surprise people this year but if you have a shot to add a player like Marion you probably should take it. I just don't think the Suns would do that trade because if they do trade Marion it will most likely be for a C.

i don't know dude...i don't see the Suns doing that...remember we're talking about Colangelo here...the same guy who is unwilling to give up Randy Johnson to the Yankees because he's not getting what he feels is equal talent in return...i don't think he'd give up Marion, who the fans of Phoenix love, for just Tim Thomas, a notorious underachiever...it will take something else to get them to make the deal...& imo, offering them KT for Eisley might just get it done.

exaclty. marion has a seriously bloated contract and now the suns will have to trade one of their forwards or swingmen. Because of his contract, JJ could be the odd man out and out of the starting five.

Besides Sweetney, I can't see any of these young players (Like Marion, or Joe Johnson) not demanding a ridiculous contract when it's time to resign. That is one thing about the NBA id on't like. When it's time to pay these players, you wind up giving an arm and leg to get them. Some might even give up their whole man-hood (if u know what I mean).
