Official Trade Thread: Part 4

Guys, just a warning to all who decide to venture onto the Knicks board, Be Respectful.

No worries on Shumpert. Actually, I don't want the trade to go through anymore, mostly so when the playoffs come around Shumpert will get exposed for his raw talent. And then when the season is done and over with, the Knicks are in the same position as the Suns, without a championship. Except the Suns will get a high draft pick.

F*ck that, I'm going to give them a piece of my mind! Oops, I forgot I don't post on other team's boards.

PHX/ATL/LAC/IND: Rebuild

PHX trades: Dragic, Gortat, Dudley, Marshall, Morris, Telfair, Beasely, Brown, O'neal, MIN/MEM 2013 #1
PHX receives: Billups, Granger, Smith, Jenkins

Billups/ Garrett/ Vet min FA
Jenkins/ Johnson
Granger/ Tucker/ Vet min FA
Smith/ Scola/ Zeller
Vet min FA/ Frye

PHX takes that squad for the rest of the year, and goes into the FA season with 2 high picks, and up to $33 million to spend. If Smith re-ups, then half that. That could be used to attract Dwight Howard to the Valley of the Sun to rekindle the LAL-PHX rivalry with this lineup:

Billups/ CJ McCollum?/ FA
Jenkins/ Hardaway Jr.?
Granger/ Tucker/ Elias Harris (2nd)
Smith/ Scola
Howard/ Frye/ Bachynski (2nd)

ATL trades: Smith, Jenkins, Scott
ATL receives: Gortat, Beasely, Brown, Marshall, MIN/MEM 2013 #1
Atlanta cashes in Josh Smith for positions of need replacement players and an additional #1 pick in this years draft.

LAC trades: Billups
LAC receives: Telfair, Morris, Scott
LAC cashes in on Billups since they have Gordon, or they could still send out Gordon and give Telfair the backup reigns. They won't want to give up Billups, but with a replacement and a decent prospect in Morris coming back, I think they say yes.

IND trades: Granger
IND receives: Dragic, Dudley, O'neal
IND trades out Granger for better help on the bench. Dragic would battle with Hill for starters minutes, Dudley fills in well behind George, and O'neal provdes great veteran leadership for a team he once was very successful in for his last swan song.

Absolutely nuts. Not bashing you here Sir but this would never happen. I just fail to see why the Suns would ever even consider this. Besides the Howard and Smith attraction this is just disaster for the Suns.
