What is the trade? They are saying it involves our resident knuckle-head SG, but where they talking about the Suns? I wouldn't call Goodwin a knuckle-head.

These RealGM posters claiming to be "insiders" are full of shit.

^ I get that feeling too Mori. All their shit is so vague anyone could be an insider with Twitter.

Because he and his buddy Skippy are paid to be. 90% of ESPN personalities are unwatchable.

Some of them are alright. Ray Ray is a guy who has broken news before and been right. They won't reveal the players, but I'm pretty sure it is something involving Indy and Boston again.

Not sure about this NotTraxxe guy, but he is a mod.

He's claiming very arrogantly that Phoenix and Houston aren't marquee cities to lure marquee players. Even though the last big free agent to go to NY was Amare, only because the Suns couldn't guarantee him for anything past 3 years. If I'm right, didn't Howard pick to go to Houston?

Phoenix has been a destination city for NBA free agents since the beginning of free agency.

Well theres the Boston connection with McD, and we've had good dealings with Indiana before. You never know.

Really hope Green stays. We need a Q/Raja type streaky 3 point shooter. He was great last year. Had his breakout season with us!

If he could bring a similar player at the 4 position like Ryan Anderson I think we'd be crazy not to do it. We could just sign Morrow if you want a 3pt shooting swing that doesn't play D.

Bro, Ryno had a big time injury and makes quite a bit of scratch. I just don't know...

I know that, but we're also paper thun at the 4 spot with just the MoBros there. He's also a pretty decent rebounder. So, as with any trade, if our med staff gives him the ok, I'm all over that deal.

Stu Jackson (NBATV) proposed Suns trade for Love:

Signed and traded Bledsoe, Plumlee or Len, Lakers first round pick for Love and Kevin Martin.

The problem with this proposal is that Bledsoe wouldn't agree to it.

Call me crazy but I'd rather have Bledsoe and keep our bigs. Bledsoe is going to really blow up this season. Our backcourt is going to kill it with a healthy Bledsoe and Dragic. Keep the core together and sign a stretch big.

I was in favor of that rumored trade for Anderson if the meds ok'd it, although I would have tried to keep the pick. Now that Frye is gone, this is the perfect replacement. I don't think there is a better stretch PF in the L, leaving aside Kevin Love, Dirk and maybe Bosh.

And the salary is not crazy compared to what teams are dishing out this summer. Just 0.5M per more than Frye is almost a bargain, with the health asterisk, of course.
