Adam,
Re: “Calling out Amare Stoudemire”. You can “call out” a Kevin Garnett and get results. Trying to “call out” Amare is like trying to teach your pet cat to “sit”.
Let’s face it. The young “stars” of the league can call their own shots. Some, like D Wade do it with class. Others lack that attribute. If you were in that position, how would you act knowing that you had about ten years to make the money you and your entire family would need to live a lifetime?

I would give management a C-, if you look at all the great draft picks we have traded away for virtually nothing but salary considerations plus the impact of the Shaq trade (mismanagement of Shawn Marion) and hiring Terry Porter I could not go any higher. However, retaining Grant Hill, Steve Nash, Alvin Gentry and Amare Stoudemire while picking up a decent role player in Channing Frye is why I don’t give them a failing grade

Adam,
Nice post and gives us Suns fans some hope for a successful season. However, it is only a pre-season game. While the Sun have a good core of players, the other teams in the league also have a lot of talent. Can the Suns compete with the Lakers? Both the Spurs and the Mavs look very much improved.
The Suns still do not have a center or a substitute point guard. How many years has this lack of a second point guard gone unaddressed?
It always (like in any business) comes back to management. The Suns have traditionally had average or slightly better than average management. Their record over the years reflects this fact. How would you grade the Suns management at this time?
