Classic SDC.

[TOO]

DP.

[SDC]

how much are the suns willing to give up for a love rental?

[SDC]

it's difficult to contruct a trade that benefits both side because the suns have so many player restrictions (according to realgm trade machine).

[TOO]

I don't think anyone is giving up assets for Love w/o agreeing upon an extension first. So I wouldn't worry about Love as a rental.

[SDC]

why are bledsoe, pj trucker's name unselectable in the trade machine?

[TOO]

RFA?

then i guess phoenix is out of the question since love would rather sign a big extension somewhere else?

[SDC]

even channing frye has a trade restriction.

anyway, here's how i did it

i'm okay with a rental (because it may lead to him extending by end of next season if he liked the experience here).

i dont want the suns to give up so much just to get him to extend now that they decimate their lineup and end up being worse off that last season.

Love has said nothing about not wanting to go to PHX, all I read is that he's not looking for another rebuilding situation.

he'll probably not sign that extension for a phx trade (UNLIKE LETS SAY A BULLS OR WARRIORS TRADE), but the suns could still get him for a lower price without the guarantee of love staying long term.

Quite a leap you made there. First of all, the article was about one star. Secondly, nowhere does it say he doesn't want to play here.

The Phoenix Suns have enough assets to presumably trade for Love, but his interest in joining the Suns is unclear.

I wouldn't quite call us a rebuilding situation...

[TOO]

I didnt.

We didn't even make the playoffs. We are in a rebuilding situation. Maybe ahead of schedule thanks to the Bledsoe trade and Goran and Kieff's emergence, but rebuilding after all.

[In2ition]

If the off-season is a hit this summer, they go from rebuilding on the verge, to then contending. But it would take a great off-season and will take picking up a couple big pieces along with the maturation and development of the players on the roster already.

We arent really a Rebuilding situationΔ Remember we would of been a mid playoff seed in the east and were about one game from 8th seed in the westΔ If Eric didnt get injured then I hold no doubt that we would of been IN the playoffΔ Now, Kevin Love never said he didnt want to go to the suns either and I believe in honesty and honestly he is the best pick up for the Fan base of Arizona ( A cacuasain American man, like it or not some fans dont like how Goran sounds on a mic and even that his name is Goran, its doesnt sound americanΔ I like the name Goran, It sounds strong and full of stamina)Δ
Kevin Love seems to be able to fit what we need in the moment as far as a go to scorer with stats of 26.1 PTS 12.5 REB 4.4 AST, But the key factor is chemistry and even more of a factor is who we would need to trade to get a oppertunity to see how this chemirsty might gel Δ If we need to trade Gerald Green, Either of the Morris twins, Goodwin, Plumlee or Goran then I would strike down that Trade with the Force of Zeus Light Bolt charged from Jupiter (Juno or Jupiter is just another name for Zeus)Δ Give up almost any of the Draft picks or all of them for LOVE is a good idealΔ Hopefully we dont need to give up all the picks but can give a few with someone like PJ Tucker & or Alex Len (who I just dont believe will do good in Phoenix, but in another city might become a player)Δ Personally I am a being who honors Loyality and I love PJ tucker Hustle (its akin to shawn marions but PJ is more rugged) so I rather see them trade Alex Len and very much hope they doΔ

BY ALL MEANS DO NOT TRADE GERALD GREEN, He is the type of Player that will Blossom with Big Man who can open the Post with a Money JumperΔ I rather us loose Eric Bledsoe (because we still got Goran and A young Archie ) then lose GERALD GREEN but we need not lose eitherΔ Adding Kevin Love for 2-4 Draft picks (between this years and next), Alex Len and maybe if needed PJ Tucker (rather it be money), We WILL be a contender‼ The only factors that play against this are injuries and If Kevin Love can find his 'Role' or 'Proper-Position' with the suns If we get himΔ

This is Channing and Gorans Team, They were present when we last had a chance! Just like a Trail, they know how to map it out to at least feel there way back to the western conference championship; floppin or no floppinΔ

I am hopeful yes, but still a inteligent "Black" fan and I know what this city and state and team wants to cheer forΔ If Robert doesnt want to get a bucket of $#it from the folks and fam who remember Jerrys Leadership (and Jerry is gonna be still Running this town) then Robert and dem gonna need to know
