What would you guys want for Telfair in a trade? PHX needs backup PG help ASAP.

We'll throw in Nash too if that's the deal breaker :-D

We aren't bursting at the seams with PGs either. If you can figure out a three way where we get a decent PG that plays defense in return, I'd probably sign on.

I think Telfair would work well in PHO, but the MIN posters are correct -- PG is our second biggest hole. Ollie is a third string PG, and we have no other option between Foye and Telfair. Telfair started for us the last game or two. His deal ($2.3 mil) is pretty sweet as well, and he understand the MIN offense, such that it is. He's a good PG for assists and low turnovers.

Unfortunately, the "ASAP" part hurts the deal. Telfair just signed his new contract, and won't be available until Dec. 15th.

If you can wait that long, the way to appeal to MIN is to include Robin Lopez, filling their biggest need .. center. There'd need to be some balancing (I think Carney would be fun in PHO), but that's the way to pry a PG away from MIN.

I'm curious what offer you'd make for Randy Foye? There's no Dec 15th waiting period on him.
