The messed up thing is that while Kerr was fumbling around, he let Nash lose 2 Seasons of his precious career as the the Suns dropped down with the Shaq Experiment and the Porter Fiasco, before he put something together that made sense. He tried to change up too much of what the team was, which is fine if you commit fully to a new style, but he went halfway adding Shaq while the rest of the roster was still made to run. Just getting back to where you were doesn't count as a positive when you have a team that is as close as his was to making the finals.
The Amare issue is more interesting. The more guys that hit the open market the better for us. We're a top 3 destination so if you put Bosh, Amare and Johnson out there as pretty sure bets to be looking to move it really helps our cause. It makes me wonder even more about what Dirk wants to do. As old as Dirk is i'd take him over Boozer in a micro second if we missed out on Bosh. Since he's more of a finesse player, he likely will be good another 4-5 years. I'd do a 5 yr contract with Dirk.
