Millsap is a great player, but he's too old for this group of players and is also a free agent after the season. I imagine he would prefer to play for a better team. Rather ironically, I think he'd be great in Utah

But those "stretch 4's" are still true PF's. Kevin Love, Draymond Green, Serge Ibaka, a healthy Chris Bosh, Boris Diaw, LaMarcus Aldridge (who the Suns would've gotten if it weren't for Darth Popovich), Dirk Nowitski, Karl Anthony Towns, etc.
PJ Tucker and Jared Dudley are really small forwards. Ryan McDonough wants to make it seem like they are PF's but they're not.
ESPN put up an article that the Hawks are checking the trade value for Paul Millsap. Anyone interested in him ?
If he was 20, yes. Or if he wants a reduced role and a teaching job with us.

We don't need a 31yr old Paul Milsapp unless McD wants to keep going with the two-teams-on-one-roster strategy.

Surely the knight wrist injury was just a smoke screen for an upcoming trade. Anyone else got anything on this?

Knicks interested in trading for PJ Tucker. The article suggests KO or Willie as trade bait. I would accept either. I do not think we resign PJ this summer anyway.

Getting Williy Hernangómez for Tucker would be a major heist. If that's on the table, Jackson is senile and the Suns should get it done before he gets locked in an asylum. Doubt there's any truth to it, though. KO, I could see it, but what's the point.

Kinda makes sense. They need depth at the 2/3 and can't defend (two nights ago Hornacek whether they were capable of playing defense). I'd take either guy, tho Hermangomez has a ton of potential. KOQ is kind of a throwback player whose effort comes and goes. Hermangomez is a player tho. Just wonder where he'd fit in. He's kind of a 4/5, high IQ, can shoot, grabs boards, not a shotblocker. Can't figure out if he's a 4 or 5.
(of course the first highlight is a block)

Do we really want to add another lesser of nba brothers?
JK, Willie seems like a decent player, I haven't seen him play much though.
Side note, I thought Willie and Juan were brothers, am I correct in that assumption or am I just making things up?

Shit, I thought Willie was a nickname for Juan. I wondered when juan got traded to the knicks without my knowing!

I believe Juan is known as Juancho. Which is weird because his nickname is longer than his actual name.

That's puts him in such distinguished company as Pauly Shore.

I cant find anything new on knight
some fan bait rumours going around about:
Blazers looking at Pj and Chandler
Celtics interested in Chandler for Amir Johnson
Knicks looking at PJ. Seems Hornacek is addicted to PJ.
Ah, so this is where the Hornacek interest in PJ discussion went. I'd love to take Hernangomez. Not really interested in KOQ unless we can flip him somewhere else for a 2nd rounder... Maybe Minnesota?

Somebody else said it, but we already have Sauce. We don't need KOQ and we shouldn't want him. Again, if Willy is on the table, we need to make it happen. Even offer up a second rounder in '18 or something. That kid is smart, plays the right way and does a lot of things that don't show in the box score. He reminds be a lot to Felipe Reyes, but with an NBA body. That's a real player. Hard to see even the Knicks being so stupid, although I guess you never know.

Any chance we could pull this off:
Phoenix out: Bledsoe, Knight, Tucker, Chandler
Phoenix in: Jeff Green, Ed Davis, Nerlens Noel, TJ McConnell, Lakers 2017 1st via Philly
Philly out: Noel, McConnell, Lakers 2017 1st
Philly in: Bledsoe, Festus Ezeli, Rights to Magic 2017 1st
Magic out: Jeff Green, 2017 1st
Magic in: Brandon Knight, PJ Tucker, Cavs 2018 1st via Portland
It works in trade checker, spare parts could be mixed and matched a little. Aminu could replace either ezeli or Davis from Portland. Sergio Rodriguez could replace McConnell.

So Split T, the Suns starting PG after that trade scenario is.......Ullis ? Or Barbosa ?

Probably McConnell for the rest of the season. Could try and add Shabazz Napier from Portland in the trade if need be. In reality, I wouldn't be too worried as we'd be drafting our pg of the future in the upcoming draft. Or we could hang onto Bledsoe and just do the trade without philly. We'd end up with Davis, Ezeli, Green, and the Orlando 1st in that scenario.
