SUNS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Preview: Suns vs. Warriors

The Phoenix Suns are finally about to get the rest they probably need despite playing some of their best basketball of the season. The Suns are coming off a pair of easy home victories and should have a good chance for another one Wednesday night before getting a week off, facing a Golden State Warriors team which hasn't won in Phoenix nearly seven years. No team has played...

Lakers fan, being his normal d-bag self, thought it would be cool to drape homey in his...

Suns gaining ground but still have work to do

PHOENIX -- Sunday's smiting of the recently mighty Los Angeles Lakers did nothing to alter the long-term predicament confronting the Phoenix Suns. "We're behind the 8-ball as far as making up games and trying to get back in the playoff race," Suns coach Alvin Gentry reminded reporters before Monday's furious waltz past the Washington Wizards. OK, let's...

Suns end Lakers' reign, hope for momentum

PHOENIX -- Apparently tired of falling victim to the mighty Lakers, the Suns finally put their foot down Sunday and got their first win over the more prominent L.A. team since November 2010. "I think everybody was probably tired of losing to them," Suns guard Jared Dudley said. "Especially playing them in their place, seeing Kobe (Bryant) going for 48 (points) or...

Steve Nash will not request a trade

  Steve Nash is a free agent after this year, yet you don’t hear his name come up in trade talks. While Chris Paul already forced a trade and Dwight Howard trade rumors are out there every day. Why, because Nash is a true pro and loyal to his current team the Phoenix Suns. I wish they were more pros like Nash. ESPN.com reports that Nash has refused to request a trade. “I’m...

Video: Shannon Brown's monster put-back

  Jason Whitney Last night during the midst of Kobe Bryant’s “once again” trimmin’ the Phoenix Suns, there was a dunk that brought the Laker faithful to their feet. Former Los Angeles Laker Shannon Brown came out of nowhere to throw down a monster two-handed dunk off a Markieff Morris missed three-point attempt. Can somebody tell me why [...] Sports-Kings...

Ron Artest Displays Ron-Artest-Like Tendencies Against The Suns

Ron Artest’s numbers from LA’s 111-99 victory over the Phoenix Suns: 2 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists on 1-4 from the floor with 3 steals, a block, and 2 turnovers.  Honestly?  For present-day Ron Artest, that’s not half bad.  At least he created a few turnovers, blocked a shot, and refrained from attempting any three-pointers.  Based on the box score, one...

Kobe still taking his anger out on Suns

LOS ANGELES -- Whenever Kobe Bryant spots Phoenix coming up on the schedule, he makes it a point to tell anyone within earshot about how much he dislikes the Suns. "Yeah, I definitely feel that way," the league's leading scorer said. "There's a lot of history between these two franchises and things have been said that I'll never forget." On Friday...

Steve Nash, at 38, playing great for mediocre Suns

The Phoenix Suns are a shadow of the frenetic scoring machine they were a few years ago. Maybe that makes the season Steve Nash is having all the more impressive. Not surrounded by an abundance of talent, on a team that stood 12-18 going into Friday night's game against the Lakers in Los Angeles, Nash leads the league in assists at 10.7 and is the top shooter among guards at...

Hill's shutdown skills await toughest test yet

Over the past week, Grant Hill has been asked to do quite a bit, as he's had to guard Tyreke Evans, Monta Ellis and Joe Johnson. On all three occasions, the 39-year-old Suns forward rose to the occasion and shut down his man. Things are about to get even tougher. After strong defensive outings, Hill is now tasked with trying to limit Kobe Bryant for two straight games as part...

Nash on the trading block?

Is it finally time for the Sun to set on Steve Nash’s career in Phoenix? With free agency looming this summer and the Suns going nowhere fast, it seems more and more likely that they’ll have to consider trading Nash before the deadline. SI.com is reporting that one team executive says the Suns are “as close as they’ve ever been” to letting their star point guard go. Nash...

Whitney Houston’s death hits close to home for Shannon Brown

For a lot of athletes, Whitney Houston’s death has had at least some impact on their lives in recent days. Some might have been familiar with her music or movies. Some might have seen her in person at a concert or an event. Others might have come to know her (more unflatteringly) from the covers of supermarket tabloids during her battle with addiction. But perhaps for no athlete...
