Official Trade Thread: Part 3

Is Amare still an option for a trade?

Dump in all of our bad contracts, and since this FA class sucks anyway, we wont miss out muh on the lack of cap space.

At this point, I actually might do it.

The Suns decline to give him a 5 year max because the doctors said his body only had 1 or 2 high level years left in it... after 2 years the docs have been proven absolutely right so now we trade for 3 years of a broken down shell of a player?

If we're looking for ways to STAY awful that would be a good start.

Well it was an option, this is a "Trade Thread" after all.....

Last order of business would be the Gortat dilemma....which I have no answer for.

I do like Kerrsed's idea of shipping Gortat to Milwaukee.

If we can nab Larry Sanders and a pick I would be happy.

[sunskerr]

I'm telling you guys...Avery Bradley would be a great asset to acquire for Gortat.

Here's 2013

The Suns have a very interesting set of draft picks coming up in 2013, with all kinds of conditions on them. But listed below in the most likely scenario:

2013 Draft:

Top-10 pick (Suns own pick)
15-25 pick (worst of Minnesota or Memphis*)
25-30 pick (worst of Lakers or HEAT**)
30-40 pick (Suns own second round pick)
45-55 pick (Denver's second round pick)
That's five picks, all bunched together. Three of them in the first round. There are some conditions:

*Minnesota must make the playoffs for this pick to transfer in 2013. Otherwise, it rolls into the first year they do.

**If by chance the Lakers MISS the playoffs this season (they are 9-12 right now), the Suns get their pick outright. LOL.

Not sure about the rest of the years

i was under the impression that if Memphis made the playoffs we would get their pick via Minny. Because if Memphis makes the playoffs, their pick would transfer to Minny. if Minny misses the playoffs and Memphis makes, obviously Memphis' pick is less favorable and would transfer to the Suns. the wording i've read is a little cloudy, so i'm not 100%

Yes 'Love' is a fantasy

But that Monster Pekovic ..... I would be pigsh*t pleased if somehow we could turn theG into theP

This team needs a couple of large nutted men to shape things up.

I love Pekovic. We absolutely need somebody like him.


If the Lakers miss the Playoffs and we get their pick, I'd consider this season a huge success. Very unlikely though.
