Here’s what went down Monday on G&A:
* The Suns are 1-2 since the Shaq deal including Sunday’s blowout loss to the Pistons. G&A aren’t panicking yet - both agree Shaq needs time to adjust to the Suns’ system and vice versa. Ash thinks DJ Strawberry is gaining Mike D’Antoni’s trust and could get extra minutes if he keeps playing good, tough defense.
* Gambo believes the Suns are closing in on a deal for Brent Berry - a decision could come down any time. The Spurs, Rockets and others also want Berry’s services.
* We were joined by Grizzlies starting point guard Mike Conley. Conley says he is enjoying the extended minutes he’s getting from Marc Iavaroni since the team parted ways with Damon Stoudemire. Grizz host the Suns tomorrow in Memphis.
* The Tampa Bay Rays are pondering signing free-agent Barry Bonds. Gambo thinks this is little more than a publicity stunt to fill seats at Tropicana Field and feels Bonds wouldn’t be a positive mentor for some of the young Rays’ players. Ash thinks this a total joke and would love to never see Bonds on the field again. Gambo doesn’t want to see Barroid reach some other attainable milestones.
* Roger Clemens is under the microscope again. There’s a pictures of him at Jose Canseco’s 1998 pool party-just as Brian McNamee told Congress. Ash thinks these photos could ruin “The Rocket” once and for all, especially since he completely denied being at the party-under oath, no less.
* Tennessee is the new No. 1 in men’s college hoops following Saturday’s win over previously unbeaten Memphis. G&A discussed the game - it was a classic. Why didn’t J.P. Prince play at UA, again? Ash loves Bruce Pearl.
* ASU is closing in on a NCAA tourney bid following Saturday’s win in Seattle over Washington. G&A agree if the Devils go 2-2 in their last 4 Pac-10 regular season games they’ll be dancin’ next month.
