Re: Suns News: Week of 4/7 to 4/13
So I'm seeing on Twitter that the Suns are putting together a plan to get Melo and surround him with young talent. Really?!?

Not gonna happen. Melo isn't leaving NY for Phoenix regardless of who else is on either team.
Send me a PM if you're interested in joining the phx-suns.net fantasy basketball league.

Agreed. Realized that it was a single Tweet with no merit. Move along, nothing to see here

Melo fits what we do offensively with all the isolations. Melo at the 4 for us would be dynamic. 'm probably the only guy that would welcome him in Phoenix. After the season he's had with that turd of a situation, he's changed my mind about him.

No Melo. Selfish me first player.

That would change here. He couldn't dominate the ball because the offense wouldn't run through him.Sunsfan4life wrote:No Melo. Selfish me first player.

I don't like him, but it would be a significant talent upgrade. If the Suns are hellbent on retaining Bledsoe, then I couldn't care less if they brought in Melo.
Free Agency
DeMar Derozan for the minimum!
PG: Jordan McLaughlin, Killian Hayes, Kris Dunn, Spencer Dinwiddie, Monte Morris
C: Mo Bamba, Andre Drummond, James Wiseman, Goga Bitadze, Jay Huff

Re: Suns News: Week of 4/7 to 4/13
I'm not a huge Melo fan, but I'd take him here. As INFy says, he would be such a gigantic talent upgrade for us that we'd have to do it.
Re: Suns News: Week of 4/7 to 4/13
Dragic and Melo would be incredibly hard to stop. Would probably cost us Bledsoe, but there are a lot of good PGs in the draft.
Re: Suns News: Week of 4/7 to 4/13
Why would it cost us Bledsoe? Just sign Melo outright. I'm sure you could move the Morris Twins for cap space.

Re: Suns News: Week of 4/7 to 4/13
Then it'll cost us Dragic after next year, no way they pay all 3 huge money. I think Bledsoe will price himself out of the equation.
Re: Suns News: Week of 4/7 to 4/13
Sure you can. Dragic isn't going to command the max. If you get Bledsoe under the max, it would be very manageable, especially if Len actually becomes an impact player (he would still be on his rookie deal).no way they pay all 3 huge money

Re: Suns News: Week of 4/7 to 4/13
I enjoy your optimism. We'd be awfully hard to guard with that trio.
Re: Suns News: Week of 4/7 to 4/13
The team would need a defensive anchor. Move Plumlee and Frye to Houston for Asik, and that team could contend.

Re: Suns News: Week of 4/7 to 4/13
To each there own, but no way I bring Melo here. I rather spend that money in other places.
Carmelo Anthony will never be the best player on a championship team IMO...atleast not the way he plays, he is an incredibly talented scorer who is a bad defender and a ball stopper...Especially on this team that sorely lacks interior defense or scoring.
I get the argument for bringing him here, its just not a move I would do as a GM...he isn't worth it to me.

Re: Suns News: Week of 4/7 to 4/13
I agree. I wouldn't bring him here either. But I also wouldn't bring back Bledsoe, and that isn't happening.

Re: Suns News: Week of 4/7 to 4/13
I wouldn't have guessed it but probably time to finally bury the whiff.Morris has scored more points than any NBA reserve this season and the fourth most of any Suns sub, behind Sixth Man Award winners Leandro Barbosa, Dan Majerle, and Eddie Johnson.
Go Suns!
