The Suns are playing very well.. All that trade talk revolving Marion was bullshit, he shouldn't have even been mentioned. He does a lot of things well, and is a good defender on a team that lacked a lot of it last year.
They remind me of the Mavericks a couple years ago. I think this team will make the playoffs, but are a big man short of doing damage. They cause matchup problems, have a lot of energy, etc.
Its often mentioned that Nash is a liability on defense, and I think its completely true. Its not a lack of effort, but he doesn't have the size to fight through screens and bump players out of position.
Kudos to the Sun's management. They got rid of Steph and contracts (Hardaway made 13.5 million last year) for three expiring contracts and a couple draft picks. Theoretically you could say that they traded Steph for Nash and Q-Rich.
