Suns interested in Jimmer. He’s interested in Suns.

Depending on which reports or rumors you believe the Phoenix Suns are either very interested in Jimmer Fredette or hesitant because of his reported defensive shortcomings. Today we got definitive word — well, at least as definitive a word as we can before the draft — that they have interest in the BYU standout. On […]

If D’Antoni and Colangelo reunite in Toronto, could Nash be next?

Steve Nash will be the subject of trade rumors until he either leaves the Suns or retires from the NBA.

Don’t teach the Suns how to ‘Jimmer’ just yet

You may not need to get someone to teach you how to Jimmer anytime soon to be cool in Phoenix. That’s because the Suns interest in the BYU guard may not be as large as it was once believed to be. ESPN’s Chad Ford, who was the main perpetrator of Fredette to Phoenix rumors, has […]

Nash on gay NBA players: ‘It won’t be the O.J. Simpson trial’

Steve Nash doesn’t think that openly gay players in the NBA would be a problem. In fact, he seems rather dismissive of the whole issue. “I think it will be something that won’t take on this life of its own. It won’t be the O. J. trial,” Nash said. In an interview with The New […]

G&A: Coaching is nice, but bad defenders are bad defenders

The Phoenix Suns want to improve on the defensive end of the court. A report came out Thursday saying the Suns will likely interview Lakers assistant Jim Cleamons to be the team’s defensive coordinator, giving credence to what has been said by Lance Blanks, Lon Babby and Alvin Gentry since the season ended. Unfortunately, it […]

Serious about defense, Suns to hire a coordinator?

The Phoenix Suns talk about defense like politicians talk about fixing the budget: lip service is paid, but generally nothing gets done to actually address the problem. Neither is an easy fix, due to a multitude of reasons, but at least the Suns may be taking a step — albeit a small one — in […]

Vince Carter: ‘I still plan on playing 15 years’

Even though Vince Carter looked more ‘half-man, half-mediocre athlete’ than the human highlight reel in Phoenix last season, it doesn’t mean he’ll call it a career anytime soon. As a matter of fact, he plans on hanging around for another three seasons. At least that’s what he told the Orlando Sentinel. Follow @AZSports

Majerle doesn’t think Jimmer will be a great pro

While many mock drafts say Jimmer Mania might be relocating to Phoenix this summer, Suns assistant coach Dan Majerle doesn’t sound completely sold on Fredette. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t want to get a closer look at the guard prior to the draft. On Monday morning Majerle shared his thoughts about the BYU sensation with […]

Odds are the Phoenix Suns will be drafting 13th during the NBA Draft on June 23rd. There is no guarantee, though, as the Suns do have a .6 percent chance of winning the number one overall selection, which would likely turn out to be either Duke’s Kyrie Irving or Arizona’s Derrick Williams.
