We heard tonight that he could be headed to Phoenix in the Amar'e Stoudemire deal. The Suns, who are getting ripped for their salary-dumping moves that is bringing nothing in return, are demanding...

Someone snuck into US Airways Center in Phoenix with many sticks of dynamite last night and decided it was time to detonate a franchise that began its downward spiral the night Robert Horry hip-checked Steve Nash two years ago.
