They can have monroe. But we have no interest of any players on their team. Channing for sentimental reasons would be nice, but we’re not giving up value for him. I’d do the Channing shumpert grade if they threw in the Brooklyn pick. But I don’t see them doing it.

Man, that was a bad article. But I read it. Every page.

There’s nothing.

I'd do it just for swap rights.

This +1. I wondering why this hasn't been thought of, but at the same time, I'm sure they already did it.

+1 but I’m taking back some salary, so I might want to swap my second best pick for their best or something like that.

I won't read a slideshow article. I closed it as soon as I saw the "Next" button.

Did this steaming pile for an article need its own thread? It could have easily just been buried in the Suns News thread.

Edit: If you wrote that vlad, know that I'm not trying to rip you. It's not the worst thing I've read. It's just all conjecture and on a slideshow formatted article.

My favorite part is where they call a possible Monroe for Tristan Thompson trade about "as even as it gets".

Yes, if you disregard the extra two years and $36 million remaining on Thompson's contract.

The article also called Monroe a rim protector, which as we all know is pretty far from the truth.

The reason we would not want Tristan Thompson is the same reason they would want to trade him. He is just plain not worth in any way his contract.

Oh, and he is a Klutch client. Done with those.
