The trade deadline will pass and the Suns will call a press conference. McD will come walking out with Babby and Watson at his side and they will announce a new deal for Watson. Then spend 15 minutes talking up how great Watson is then Watson will get 15 minutes to talk about how great of a leader Markieff is.

I don't get the love that front office have for PJ Tucker. Maybe they think he is going to help them land his former college teammate superstar in the offseason. :roll:

Meanwhile Tucker and Kieff will be so mad at not being traded that they will choke out the first young player to walk into the locker room with a smile on his face. They of course will choke the player out in a loving playful way that shows true leadership.

So this actually sounds likely... This is so depressing.

They'll probably present Watson as "Our First-Round Pick!!"

Oklahoma City will DJ Augustin, Steve Novak and two second-round picks to Denver for Randy Foye, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Poor Novak. Been traded the last 4 deadlines

They don't call him Steve "Deadline" Novak for nothing.

If they don't get anything done at the trade deadline I'm going to have to give the front office an "F" for the season. They could have saved something by making some deals.

Varejao and a first rounder for Frye? It isn't even like it saves them much money. It saves them like 1.5 mill next year and 2.5 the following. Wow.

Actually scratch that. The last year of Varejao's contract is a team option. So they actually lose money on this.

They are clearly looking to add some scoring options at every position. Maybe they have something else up their sleeve, like Love to Boston.

Will be so dissapointed if we do NOTHING.

Still time...

I am hoping we are just such a bad team that nobody cares what we do, so nobody is picking up the phone and leaking anything.
