News from the Suns Front Office
You don't have to go look very far past the logo to know that Fusion management looks up to the Suns organization in many ways. In fact, the Fusion logo may be one reason for a premium on Suns players coming to Phoenix and one reason for a lack of Suns representation on the Fusion team, but that story is for another time.
This story is about a player of interest, Amare Stoudemire. The news on him here in Phoenix is not very promising...
D'Antoni's post-practice comments Tuesday were some of the most revealing ones to come from the organization in the past year of tip-toes.
"He went normal today and stuff but it's day to day," D'Antoni said. "Hopefully, he can make it. I don't see why not. We just have to have patience and let him work through things. He's not there.
"Somehow, he's just got to get through the stiffness or the soreness or whatever. I just don't know what it is. He's going to have to do it. You know what? It might be two or three months. He's not going to hold us back. We're going on. Whenever he's ready, he's ready.
"Right now, we can't figure him in because we don't know. If he makes some progress, we'll be able to put him in. Right now, we've just got to figure out how we go forward in this situation."
Phoenix responded with a collective gasp at D'Antoni's comments...did he say "two or three months??"
Now the hope is that last year is not repeated again this year.
Even though Stoudemire is wearing red in our league, I still root for him and hope for the best.
