Here’s to hoping Chris Webber likes gyros and feta cheese …
Out of nowhere, ESPN’s Chris Sheridan reports that the Greek powerhouse Olympiakos has offered Chris Webber a two-year dea worth $10-12 million (that’s between $10 million and $12 million, not ten dollars and twelve million dollars. As a writer, I agonize about how to accurately yet…

Carousel of the Sun
The Suns have had a long history of being a team that will "make the deal". This theoretical deal, of course, is the deal where they will make a big trade in order to get better, or to fix the team. From the deal sending Jeff Hornacek, Tim Perry and Andrew Lang to Philly for the off beat yet…

The Marion Paradox
Everyone who follows the NBA knows about the Suns by now. They know about the Suns style, they know about the Suns players. They know about the run and the gun, they know about the Steve Nash alley oops and the Amare dunks, the three point barrages, the ups and downs the Suns go through over the…

Amare Stoudemire - Chris Bosh
Boshosaurus Rex and STAT, respectively.I wrote this elsewhere (in a forum) in a discussion as to whether or not you would rather have Amare Stoudemire or Chris Bosh on your team. I found that this practically wrote itself, as there's so much to talk about on both subjects, so I imagine I will be…

Being Amare Stoudemire
This is the man who wants revenge.Amare seems to respond best when people question his ability to accomplish something. So here are a few questions for Amare.You've said you want to be Most Improved Player and Finals MVP this season, will that improvement be on defense?You've mentioned adding a…

Being Raja Bell
If there is one player who wants another shot at the Finals, it's Raja Bell. Raja got a chance as a rookie to run with the Sixers and ended up guarding Kobe Bryant in their 2001 NBA Finals loss. He's come a long way as a player . Raja turned his buzz-worthy '06 postseason into a great '07 season…

Being Leandro Barbosa
The long summer continues as we wait for the Suns to bounce back and get Revenge. Next up is Leandro Barbosa. LB had a terrific season in 06-07. He won the Sixth Man of the Year Award, he gained some nationwide popularity and he became yet another star in the Suns' lineup. Barbosa emerged as one of…

Being Boris Diaw
Once again, returning to Amare Stoudemire's suggestion that the theme for the 07-08 season should be 'Revenge,' let's take another look at a player returning next season. While there was plenty of discussion about what Marcus Banks could have done last season, Boris Diaw had a letdown after winning…

I’m as excited about Amir Johnson as the next guy (more so, probably), but it’s a bit early to talk about him as Detroit’s first max contract player, no? Man, our expectations shot through the roof this summer …

What, another Zei post?

Thoughts on the Draft
So the iPhone came out yesterday. I'm on the iPhone team at Apple and it was a pretty fun night. In between calls, we'd read about the lines all over the country and the folks on the East coast trying to cash in on ebay and Craigslist. It was an energetic night that all of us had been looking…

Being Marcus Banks
So Amare suggests the motto for the 2007-08 season should be 'Revenge.' To regroup, run through the league and topple the Spurs- the Suns have to get better. The effort may or may not include Kevin Garnett but as the summer moves on I'm going to write about Suns who are likely returning next…
