Turmoil, All-Star Festivities In Phoenix

So, it looks like Terry Porter could be out as Suns' head coach come Monday. I've never been a huge advocate of mid-season firings, but the players have clearly stopped responding to Porter, and really, the team's record is unacceptable given the assemblage of contracts and talent. Unfortunately, this doesn't change the fact that the team's GM has no clue what he's doing. A lot of Amare Stoudemire trade rumors have been floating around, some interesting, some laughable. I would have been happy with the Amare for Marion/Beasley trade (not happening with Trix in Toronto), and a swap with the Pistons involving Sheed, Jason Maxiell + draft picks also doesn't sound too bad right about now. Should be an interesting couple of days.

I'm not a real big Nate Robinson fan, but those neon green "kryptonite" Foamosite Lites on his feet during the dunk contest were wild.



They probably won't see a general release, but I imagine that the sneaker community will be buzzing about them for a while.

That dunk competition was a joke.. It was so underwhelming and so gimmicky.

Dwight should have dunked it with the kryptonite ball, have it bounce back to his face and collapse to the ground like he died. Now that would have been spectacular.

Looks like they're keeping Amare now that they got rid of coach Porter.
