Steve Kerr on 670 the Score Recap (February 10th, 2009)

teve Kerr appeared on 670 the Score this morning on the Mully and Hanley show to discuss the looming NBA trade deadline. Here is a recap of what was said.

Steve Kerr is doing fantastic.
Wouldn’t mind Derrick Rose to help get an Amare deal done. (Jokingly)
The Suns are a team that is in transition and needs to make some decisions. They are listening to what’s out there for the entire team.
He has a great relationship with Amare Stoudemire. He feels it is best to be really open with the players. Players need to understand that they’re probably going to be traded at one point in their career.
Certain guys around the league are untouchable. Kobe, Lebron, Wade, but those are the exceptions rather than the rule.
These things usually go right down to the deadline, with deals not being made until Wednesday or Thursday.

Feels he must be related to Johnny Red Kerr because all Kerr’s are somehow related. He enjoyed being around Johnny and listening to his broadcasts. He remembers that three or four times a year that he would be stuck with Johnny’s bar tab when he was checking out of a hotel.
Steve Kerr will miss the ceremony tonight because he has business to tend to in Phoenix.
Finished the interview off by saying, “Hopefully I will see you soon down the road.”
The most intriguing part about the interview was how Kerr ended it, by saying, “Hopefully I will see you soon down the road.” Why is the general manager of the Phoenix Suns hopeful that he will see some Chicago radio hosts again?

Otherwise, Kerr didn’t offer too much new on potential trades. He just stated what everyone knows, the Suns are a team in transition and they are talking to a lot of teams about trades for lots of their players.
