If we can't get a draft pick for Tucker we might as well just hold onto him until the end of the season. Knight, of course, I'd be happy to be rid of even if we got literally nothing in return. As long as we don't take back long-term salary, get him outta here.

By the way, I just have to say that if my man RICKY RUBIO gets moved today, and it is *not* to our Phoenix Suns, I will need a lot of support, sympathy, and hunky-Rubio pic postings to get through it. <3

We will have to pay above market value to keep Tucker this summer. If it comes down to equal money he will probably chose a winning team. Most likely he is gone this summer either way so why have him soak up minutes for the rest of the season. He manages to take minutes away from our young guys at 3 different positions.

If the price is just a broken down Rose I think we could beat that. You aren't the only one who would love to see him here. Give them Knight and maybe a future top 10 protected pick. Then move Bledsoe for picks. He probably wouldn't increase our win totals over what Bledsoe brings but it would be nice for our team to try and move away from the selfish play and actually start passing the basketball. :)

3.5 hours to go...

So yeah Mori, an NES Classic is what they are asking. Teams only offering an N64 however.

If PJ resigns with us I will find another team. I can't root for him again. He is the most annoying Sun I have ever cheered for. He plays out of his element. He barks at his own teammates as an excuse any time he gets beat defensively . And he's a 3 and D player who quite frankly is average at both. He's too slow as a SF and too stumpy as a PF. Please please be gone. I want him gone more than Knight personally.

https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/834805506841649153 Danny Ainge's eyes have just rolled back into his head and he has entered full "Ainge mode." I can see this getting done actually. Bird is itching to make a terrible deal.

That would be a coup. Those Switches are hard to find!

If you think Bledsoe might be traded, you're fooling yourself.

Ainge will give up that pick to get Butler. He's worth it, and he will give them a legit shot at making the Finals this year. You have to do a deal like that.

OK, N64 with Super Mario 64 and Zelda Ocarina of Time and you've got yourself a deal.

You've got a special hate for him like no other.

Butler? They're talking about Paul George.

Sean Deveney: Suns patiently waiting on PJ Tucker. Offers on the table, but they’re hoping a slow trade day boosts value, gets back a decent 1st rd pick
– via Twitter SeanDeveney

So looks like "he gone" just a matter of where.

At least there is a GM out there that will always make a worse deal than ours.
