I'm not saying it's a bad sign, it's just unsignificant. You assume it's an "awesome" move by the suns organization and you even say "again" an awesome move like Kurt Thomas for Q was a good one?

Please...you're wrong. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it. Let it go.


You obviously dont understand what I'm talking about. He just didn't perform well with the Lakers.. I like the move to Phoenix because I can see him improving his game there. He's a quality PF or C off the bench. And dont speak for everyone else when you say I'm wrong kid. Once again it was my opinion.

they traded Q to get size basically.
Grant also adds size which they lacking. They lost Steven Hunter as a free agent so grant might fill his shoes as a backup

Ignorant and irrelevant. Enough said. :roll:

Did you ever watch him play when he was on the Heat? He was one of the best rebounders at the time..

I did, he was a decent rebounder in his first 3 years and not even an average in his last year with the heat.

With the lakers, he was a Chris Dudley type of player. He flat out sucked.

03-04 Stats with Miami:
8.7 PPG 6.9 RPG

04-05 Stats with LA:
3.8 PPG 3.7 RPG

The problem with Brian Grant is his knees are failing him. The guy can barely jump.

He just didn't perform well with the Lakers.. I like the move to Phoenix because I can see him improving his game there.

Wrong, he couldnt perform well with the lakers because his knees didnt allow him to. Improve what? Is there room for improvement for a guy his age? A guy with weak knees?

This acquisition is nowhere near "awesome".

it was relevant to a joke I was making about brian grant.. I honestly have no particular stance on the kobe rape allegations, but I'm not beyond exploiting it for humour..

it's up to you whether or not you find it funny, but atleast do me the favour of reading/attempting to understand an entire post before critisizing it

Grant was kickass before his injuries. One of the better Shaq defenders. He had a nice elbow shot and was a good rebounder. If he's relatively healthy he should help in some way, hes deff a guy D'Antoni can trust on the court plus he's got the cool hair goin on.
