Phoenix Suns News

According to the story, a source with knowledge of the situation reported that the contract talks have apparently become strained, and that the "very far apart", in regard to the ongoing contract negotiations that have been taking place since the beginning of free agency.

The premium on shooting in the NBA has quietly become a bigger story over the past decade or so, but it reached a point at which it was no longer possible to ignore during this summer's free-agency period.

The Phoenix Suns have gone through such a stunning transformation in such a short period of time that they are now trading in good pieces for better ones.

In the world of basketball anything can happen. Look back at the times an 8-seed knocked off the top team in the conference in the NBA, the NCAA Tournament madness, and teams of destiny making it to the top of the mountain through the unlikeliest of odds.

"I can understand the Suns are using restricted free agency against me." The unsigned Eric Bledsoe speaks on his free agency.

With all the hoopla over Eric Bledsoe this past month, those of us who are true Suns fans haven't taken the time to really savor this past season.

The Phoenix Suns had three first-round draft picks, were in the conversation for LeBron James and could still land Kevin Love.

P.J. Tucker, the Phoenix Suns' forward who recently re-signed with the Phoenix Suns for a three-year, $16.5 million dollar contract, was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona for "Super-Extreme D.U.I." on May 10th, according to a story by Paul Coro of the AZ Republic.

Tucker's blood alcohol content registered at .201 on a preliminary breath test in the field on May 10, according to Scottsdale police.

The addition of Luke Ridnour likely completed the Orlando Magic's offseason tweaks, as it gave them a full complement of 15 players more than two months ahead of training camp.

Bledsoe wants the max. The Phoenix Suns don't want to give it to him. And there's ample evidence for both sides to make a point.

As the NBA off-season drags along, the Detroit Pistons appear no closer to resolving the contract impasse with restricted free agent power forward Greg Monroe.

A few years ago, ValleyoftheSuns founder Michael Schwartz got as close as anyone has in trying to understand how the Phoenix Suns' training staff prevents injury .

Two weeks ago, Suns center Miles Plumlee was in Las Vegas as an inexperienced player who needed his skills to be developed during a NBA Summer League composed of mostly non-NBA players.

At first, Mason Plumlee's trip to Las Vegas was expected to be nothing more than a chance for the Nets' big man to get his feet wet with the US Men's National Team.

It's not a stretch to say the Phoenix Suns training and medical staff are considered to be a cabal of sorcerers.

According to noted player development coach David Thorpe, who also writes for ESPN, Suns rookie T.J. Warren showed enough skills to make him the draft's best offensive player.

So while there appears to be a lull in overall off-season activity for your Phoenix Suns, I thought I might go over some of the things that have happened, and tell you guys A lot of things have happened in the valley.
