Here's My Deal With The Suns Trade...

Sure, they've got good value coming back. My problem is with the fact that this team tried to find a way to go back towards an analog phase. They were moving toward something conventional, and all of the sudden? They go back and get themselves something digital for a stud at defense and three pointers.

Jared Dudley's defensive gifts are negated by his tweener status. But that's a digression. Why this trade is bad for Phoenix is that in search of an identity? The moves made are going to force mediocrity upon them. You cannot have your cake and eat it too in these situations. You can't keep switching plans every six months.

That is why Kansas City cannot win in baseball. And that is why Phoenix will be dead by next year.
