LAS VEGAS - The Suns are on the verge of acquiring forwards Hedo Turkoglu and Josh Childress, swiftly rebounding from the loss of Amar'e Stoudemire with two quality impact players.

The Suns would send guard Leandro Barbosa to Toronto for Turkoglu, a 6-foot-10 Turkish forward with versatile skills to shoot from long range and be a playmaker.

Phoenix would acquire Childress in a sign-and-trade deal with Atlanta, which still has his rights after he left the Hawks and the NBA to take a three-year, $20 million deal with the Greek team Olympiakos in 2008. Childress, 27, is able to leave Greece early and has agreed to a five-year, $30 million deal with the Suns. He is a 6-foot-8 swingman who averaged 11.1 points over four seasons with Atlanta, shooting 52.2 percent from the field and 36 percent on the 3-pointers.

hmm awesome trade, but sonny,demar,beli,kleiza,barby,childress? there must be a trade

Doubt Childress is in the trade, since Phoenix can't sign him and immediately trade him to us. I think the tweet meant that PHX is getting Childress.

PS Hell yes.

Do you suppose it'll be Turk for Barbosa and Jack for Childress??

Lord Eder · Post #19 » by **Lord Eder** » Mon Jul 12, 2010 3:17 am

Josh Childress?

How exactly does that work? Aren't his rights to Atlanta still? Or is it a 3 way?

Childress is going to Phoenix not to Toronto
