The Golden State Warriors have perennially been one of the more favorable NBA teams for fantasy basketball fans. The arrival of new head coach Mark Jackson may mean more energy spent on the defensive end of the court, but make no mistake – the crew from Oakland still has plenty of appeal for fantasy purposes. After all, not many teams boast four players who can potentially be drafted in the first three rounds of drafts whenever the NBA resumes. Read More »

And we’re back to no basketball. The day after the World Championship wrapped up, reality set in that we’re still a couple of weeks away from NBA training camp and even farther away from preseason action.

Once the Big Three was formed in Miami, it seems Louis Amundson was the most coveted NBA free agent on the market. And while last week the Hornets appeared to be the front-runner to sign him, according to his agent Mark Bartelstein, the Warriors snuck in to sign him to a two-year, $5 million deal. The second year is a player option. Read More »

For almost a month now, it’s kind of crazy to think that Louis Amundson has been the most coveted free agent left on the market. And in that time, he’s been rumored to land with the Bobcats, Warriors, Raptors, Hornets or Pacers.

Big men who hustle usually do not have problems finding work. After solid contributions to the Suns’ Western Conference Finals playoff run, Louis Amundson may finally come off the free agent market really soon. According to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein of ESPN, the Warriors, Hornets and Pacers are looking into obtaining his services (which is different from previous reports).

During the playoffs, Louis Amundson transcended from the NBA’s All-Undrafted Team into a sought after free agent on the open market this summer. And while he was hoping he could have stayed in the Valley of the Sun, the signings of Hakim Warrick and Channing Frye have him looking for a new home. And according to Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic, that could very well be with the Bobcats, Warriors or Raptors. Read More »

This past year the Phoenix Suns scorched the NBA, as they averaged just over 110 points per contest. Amar’e Stoudemire definitely did his thing, as he averaged 23 and almost 9 boards, but is it possible the Suns could put up even more points next season without Amar’e?

Outside of the Cavs losing LeBron, Phoenix may have suffered the biggest single loss in free agency with Amar’e moving to New York. He was the Suns’ only legit interior scorer, and finished a lot of what Steve Nash started. Read More »

The Suns’ bench is made up of home-grown talent, free agents signees, and guys acquired through trades, and here is a look at how the unit was put together and what each player brings to the court.

We gotta admit, even we jumped the gun about a week ago, all but booking the Lakers’ ticket into the 2010 NBA Finals. But with the Suns taking care of business at home in last night’s Game 4, the Western Conference Finals is now tied up, Steve Nash and Co. have all the momentum, Kobe is frustrated, and the guys in purple and gold look like a college team unable to figure out a simple zone defense. Kobe might want to break out his Team USA phone book before Game 5, hit up Jim Boeheim and talk about how to attack the zone … The Suns were up one going into the fourth quarter, before their bench put the game away with an 18-3 run against the L.A. starters.
