Phoenix Suns - The Cannon E-mail

Channing Frye

 

Sam Perkins was the last center to be selected for the 3 points shootout, in 1997.

 

In 2010, it will be done again.

 

Channing “Cannon” Frye, an assassin standing just less than 7 feet tall, has not only contended for the Most Improved Player award this season, but is the first player at his position in 13 years to be selected to the contest.

 

That is quite an accomplishment.

 

The Suns starting center last season was Shaquille “Shaq” O’Neal.  During the off season he was given as a “gift” to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

 

The trade was Shaq for “Big Ben” Wallace, whose contract Phoenix bought out because he was set to retire.

 

"Big Ben" did end up being the starting center for his old team, the Detroit Pistons, and is looking like his old defensive moster self.

 

However, Wallace is very close to retirement, and he wouldn’t have fit the Suns system anyway.

 

To make a long story short, Phoenix dumped an old star nearing retirement along with his ridiculous 21 million dollar salary, and ended up spending only 2 million to pick up the underrated young big that received little love from any other team.

 

Shaq is managing 12 points, 7 rebounds and a block, at 37.

 

Frye is posting 12 points, 6 rebounds and a block, at 26.

 

So for an extra rebound and a bad ego, the big name star of the past is being paid 19 million dollars more.

 

Also, Frye doesn’t have the “sucks at free throws” limited range. Thankfully, he strokes the trey from several feet behind the three point line.

 

No diss on Shaq's career, as he will still go down as one of the best of all time.

 

Robert Sarver and Steve Kerr, even though you give Suns fans many reasons to hate you, this was a good deal.

 

As Kerr said when trading Shawn Marion for Shaq, “I’m either a moron or a genius.” He later admitted to being a moron when he gave Shaq away for the best offer.

 

The best offer ending up being a very talented player in Channing Frye, with a much smaller contract.

 

But, I’ll label Steve Kerr a “genius” now that the Suns have Frye.

 

“Cannon” is a 3 point specialist, and we wish him luck representing the Phoenix Suns in the shootout.
