Stoudemire Out Until February

Postby kibaxx7 on Wed Dec 28, 2005 1:26 pm

Image
Suns Prepared to Go at It
Without Stoudemire


Resigned to the fact that Amaré Stoudemire will be out of action for four months due to microfracture surgery on his left knee, the Phoenix Suns are doing the only thing they can at this point – gearing up to win without him.

While piling up the victories without the All-Star forward-center is easier said than done, Head Coach Mike D’Antoni believes spreading the offensive wealth for the next few months will help ease the burden of temporarily losing the team’s scoring leader from a season ago.

“We have a lot of offensive weapons on the floor, D’Antoni explained. “We lost our biggest weapon, but we have a lot of others. We’re not hanging our heads at all. It’s just too bad for Amaré, but the Phoenix Suns will go on. Steve Nash has played a lot of years without Amaré and his teams have scored up into the hundreds. He’ll find out, as we will as a team, how to score 110 points anyway. That’s our focus, our goal, and if we do that, we’ll be successful. Shawn Marion will have to step up. Steve will have to up his game. Then we have Kurt Thomas, Raja Bell, James Jones.... well, we have a lot of guys to score the basketball. No one will replace Amaré’s 26 points, but four or five guys will add up to that.”

With more minutes to be had all around, the team’s offseason additions will factor heavily into the Suns’ success in the first half of the season.

“We all signed on with this team with the belief we are going to have success,” Brian Grant said. “We understand injuries are a part of it, and it just so happens that it was one of our most dominating players that went down. We also understand that that is opportunity for other guys to step up and show what they can do to fill that void. If we respond early on, when we do get Amaré back, it’ll be that much better come playoffs.”

The Suns will be without the services of Amaré
Stoudemire for four months while their
All-Star forward-center recovers from knee
surgery.


Like he did when Amaré moved to the five spot last season, Marion will most likely bounce back to power forward again -- the position where he found so much success, not to mention an All-Star selection, last year.

“I’m going to play a little more forward than expected this year, but we just have to keep our minds focused on these games and just play our ball,” The Matrix said. “We’ll be able to hold it down until Amaré gets back.”

As for Nash, the All-Star playmaker may have lost one of his favorite passing recipients for the time being, but he thinks it’s way too early to count the Suns down and out. If nothing else, Stoudemire’s injury will force the rest of the Suns to improvise and, in turn, become an all-around better team.

“Obviously it’s not the best news we’ve had all year," Nash said. “It’s out of our control, so we just need to go out and make the most of what we have and hopefully we’ll be a better team when he returns. Who knows how this team is going to manifest itself. We have a bunch of new pieces. We only have four guys back from last year without Amaré, so it’s all unknown. We’ll be ready to attack it any way we can. We have to be optimists and not cry over it right now. We have to go out there and be the best team we can be, and hope for a healthy recovery.”

Why do you think I picked Suns? Because Amare was injured, and it would be a good challenge...

Suns Exercise 4th Year Option on Diaw & Barbosa

Postby kibaxx7 on Thu Dec 29, 2005 3:11 am

Suns Exercise Fourth-Year
Options on Barbosa, Diaw


The Phoenix Suns today extended the contracts of Leandro Barbosa and Boris Diaw by exercising the fourth-year options of their rookie scale contracts. Both players will remain under contract with the team through at least the 2006-07 season with the Suns holding the right of first refusal when Barbosa and Diaw become restricted free agents in the summer of 2007.

“Leandro and Boris are two very exciting and talented young players,” said Suns President and General Manager Bryan Colangelo. “We look forward to their continued development and contributions.”

Barbosa, 22, whose draft rights (28th overall in the 2003 NBA Draft) were acquired from the San Antonio Spurs for a future first-round pick on June 26, 2003, owns career averages of 7.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 133 games (52 starts) over two seasons with the Suns.

In the 2005 preseason, Barbosa is averaging 9.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists (tied for 27th in the NBA) in 24.5 minutes in six games.

The 6-3, 188-pound guard led his native Brazil to the gold medal last summer at the 2005 FIBA Americas Championship in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and was named to the All-Tournament Team after averaging 20.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.1 steals in eight games.

Diaw & Barbosa

Diaw, 23, who was acquired from the Atlanta Hawks in a sign-and-trade deal along with two conditional first-round draft picks for guard Joe Johnson on August 19, 2005, averaged 4.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 142 career games (62 starts) in his first two NBA seasons with Atlanta.

In the 2005 preseason, the 6-8, 215-pound swingman is averaging 5.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists (16th) and 1.57 blocks (18th) in 22.6 minutes in seven games.

Diaw earned a bronze medal at the 2005 European Championships last summer and was named to the All-Tournament Team after averaging 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists in seven contests for France.
