Suns can’t, won’t get equal value for Steve Nash

Though they are consistently denying the possibility, if the Phoenix Suns were to trade Steve Nash they would be faced with an unfortunate reality. “I think the window, they’ve missed the window on getting equal or better value for their piece known as Steve Nash,” Sports 620 KTAR’s Ron Wolfley said on the Doug and […]

Jimmer could adopt a Nash-like mentality

One of the more favorable comparisons for BYU’s Jimmer Fredette has been Steve Nash. Excellent shooters who also share the ability to…umm…play basketball, Ron Wolfley from Sports 620 KTAR’s Doug and Wolf show said the soon-to-be-rookie could prove the comparison right — if he can handle the ball. “I think Jimmer Fredette could adopt a […]

Teams keep asking about Nash, Suns keep turning them down

Some NBA teams are like the guy that keeps hitting on the same woman despite being turned down over and over again, they just can’t take a hint. That’s because, despite the Phoenix Suns front office claiming a zillion times — make that a zillion and one — they won’t trade Steve Nash, teams still […]

What happens if Suns trade up and D-Will is gone?

Rumors have circulated that the Suns are interested in trading up to get the No. 2 selection in the NBA Draft and, presumably, Arizona’s Derrick Williams. What if, though, they make a deal with Minnesota only to watch Cleveland take Williams with the first-overall pick? “That would be the risk, you move up to number […]

Suns ready for anything in Thursday’s draft

What does visiting eight different countries and attending 120 practices and or games over a five month period get an NBA franchise? Other than jet lag and a serious case of home sickness, it gets them a completed draft board. That’s the path the Phoenix Suns director of player personnel John Treloar traveled to help […]

Suns call Gortat trade rumors unfounded

Marcin Gortat shouldn’t hand in his t-shirts and shorts for parkas and show boots just yet. Despite trade rumors that suggest the Phoenix Suns are looking to deal their center and the No. 13 pick to Minnesota for the No. 2 pick and Nikola Pekovic, the team’s front office sounds like they don’t want to […]

One analyst compares Jimmer to Steve Nash

Most experts have wondered whether Jimmer Fredette is a point guard or a shooting guard in the NBA. His size would suggest the former but his play at BYU would suggest the latter. Don’t tell that to CBS’ Seth Davis though, he’d like you to believe Jimmer can play the point like someone near and […]

Trading Robin Lopez this year isn’t a good idea

It’s no secret that Robin Lopez was a disappointment last season for the Phoenix Suns. That disappointment has lead many people to speculate that the center’s day’s in the desert are numbered. Don’t count Sports 620 KTAR’s Ron Wolfley as one of them. On the Doug and Wolf show Tuesday he made it very clear […]

Marcin Gortat is like Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant

You can put Marcin Gortat in the same category as Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant. No, not as one of the greatest players in the game — although he is the greatest Polish basketball player — but rather as a player who has turned to Hakeem Olajuwon for help with his low post moves. Gortat, […]

Suns would likely pass on Jimmer to take Iman Shumpert

Suns fans have been pretty vocal about who they don’t want the team to select with the No. 13 pick, but by the time the Houston Rockets are on the clock for No. 14 they may be yearning for the days when they were afraid of hearing “Phoenix Suns select Jimmer Fredette.” “What player are […]
