Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the trade was terrible because the big fella is still producing some solid numbers; but when was the last time the suns dropped 3 in a row at home?  When was the last time the Suns posted 85 points?  I've also noticed that Steve Nash's game was strugglin.  How many times can Suns fans say "we just need to get our chemistry together?"  

The losses that we have seen in the Shaq era are respectable, but what about that loss to the Sixers?  Or how we struggled to beat the Grizzlies?  Or how we blew another 20 point lead against the Blazers?  Is Shawn Marion saying "ha-haaaa (insert Nelson's laugh here)" in the 305?  These dudes need to get it together before its too late.  No more excuses, the western conference is tough and we need to prove we can win in the regular season; if not, how the hell are we going to survive in the playoffs against these juggernauts in the west?

Former Phoenix Suns great Kevin Johnson used to run the courts at the "Madhouse On McDowell."  Now he wants to run the streets of Sacramento?  I think it would be a good look for the city of Sactown because he's a proven leader.  I'm not sure how much he knows about politics, but he'll be surrounded by a good team of legal advisers.
