Thats the Cavs Anderson rumor link. Saying NO/Boston/Cle

Thanks for the link SF4L. Having spent a lot of time in Boston, I guess I'd be looking out for the Celtics' interests in any such trade, and I wouldn't want to do that if it meant giving up Crowder. I'd probably rather send out any one of the other big men in the trade, and use Lee to match salaries. Sullinger, Amir Johnson, Jerebko, and maybe even Marcus Smart. But I think Crowder is the glue that's holding the whole thing together and losing him will hurt a lot.

Ok, tired reading a million pages of what we think could happen. IF something DOES happen, somebody promise to make a new thread with the trade name on it please.

and somehow the suns end up with Michael Beasley again...............

He's playing in China. So that would be odd.

If it somehow happens, I'm blaming DS.

Be careful with the idiotic shit you suggest. They might read the site for ideas and take the worst ones.

what would it take?

Good question.

according to Philly, they want picks and will take on bad contracts...

Morris+ our 2nd pick this year etc etc etc

I kind of don't want us going after a PF of the future before we know how the draft plays out. I guess it all depends who's available and at what cost.

I don't think Okafor would have to be anointed the PF of the future.

That's not their asking price for Okafor, though.

I would probably offer Archie Goodwin, 2017 second round pick, and the draft rights to Bogdan Bogdanovic.

That wasn't really directed at the Okafor question. More of a general feeling. As it stands, I think Okafor is probably best at the 5.

And if I couldn't get Utah to budge on Exum, I'd consider sending Knight, Tucker, and Markieff to Brooklyn for Joe Johnson, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Markel Brown. Buy-out JJ after the deal was done.

I'd also look at sending P.J. Tucker to OKC in a deal that would net the Suns Mitch McGary.

That's one I've proposed before as well.

I read somewhere that Gambo said he heard that PJ was told by the front office that he wouldn't be moved. So little speculation concerning the Suns. You would think something might have leaked at least from the other teams. I have a bad feeling we aren't making any deals.

Just not sure why you wouldn't move PJ now if you were planning on going with the young guys. His value is high. So if he stays he is probably back with us next season making sure TJ gets 10 or less minutes a game. Can you imagine if they bring back everyone under contract for next season? So depressing. The icing on the cake would be them giving Watson a 4 year deal or some shit.

Kill me now.

edit: The only thing worse would be if McD trades our young guys and picks for Howard. If that happens I would have to change my E to a S and go crazy.

Do this McDoormat, do all of this.

No more brothers!

They aren't even from the same country

I do have interest in Okafor but Archie and Bog is a ridiculous offer, although if the 76rs take it by all means go for it. Jahill is not a perfect player but come on.

If the Suns got him I'd envision an offense similar to what Mike D did when we first got Shaq. Then if Okafor learns to make an impact on both ends of the floor and doesn't become a liability, you hand him the keys. But first we'd need someone better than Bledsoe-Knight to feed him.


How about something around Len to Atlanta, Schroder/Teague to the 76rs and Okafor to Phoenix.

Dumping everything on the Nets has been proposed a couple of times, as well as PJ for McGary. The OKC deal should be doable, but I don't see McD giving up Knight+ for RHJ, cap space and no picks.

If I am Utah I don't see why I even entertain offers for Exum at this point unless something huge came up. My priority would be moving Burke so I don't have to pay him, aiming for a stopgag PG and something else as the floor of a deal. Houston is said to be interested, and it makes sense as they could use a Jason Terry type off the bench. Under that light, Knight could be appealing to HOU too.

Whats the difference between him and say Enes Kanter?
