What should the Phoenix Suns?

For the past few days, especially as you approach the trade deadline, the Suns want to do something with your template. It is understandable that owners of the franchise does not want to pay the luxury tax (one dollar for every dollar spend salary cap imposed by the NBA) when your team is struggling to take the final spot in the playoffs access.

John Hollinger, ESPN, is blunt: "I hope you enjoyed the Shaquille O'Neal era, because it will cost Amare Stoudemire." Displaying the age of the team's key players, the reconstruction of the template seems the only solution to the Arizona franchise.

Why so hard to pass to Amare Stoudemire? If you transfer the power forward, the Suns would be left with three players in the past, despite the strong performance gives the team right now. Steve Nash is 35, and Shaquille O'Neal and Grant Hill have 36 each. However, Amare Stoudemire is not happy in Phoenix, also understood by the change of role that marked the arrival of O'Neal Twister.

John Hollinger is launched to give advice: move to Steve Nash, now that still produces and has an acceptable wage. Reconstruction should start with the young greats: Amare Stoudemire, Jason Richardson and Leandro Barbosa.

Ay, but not all that simple. How to remove the fans in one fell swoop for the player to feel more sympathy, now that is becoming uneconomic to have him on the team? The transfer of Shaquille O'Neal, with its spectacular salary of 20 million, is highly unlikely.

John Hollinger also has words for Robert Sarver, owner of the Suns after Brian Colangelo. Their draft picks have been a sovereign ruin. Not for the election itself, if not for transfers made on draft night. Players like Nate Robinson, Rajon Rondo or our Rudy Fernandez are succeeding in their teams, while the Suns have been with men like Robin Lopez, Alando Tucker and Goran Dragic, that no one knows them.
