I would like to work this trade:

IND <-> MIN
T.J. Ford for B. Cardinal, Corey Brewer, and Nikola Pekovic.

The wolves may need a veteran point guard.
Cardinal will be UFA next summer. Brewer can play defense. Pekovic is tough inside the pain.

Adding Brewer with Cardinal, I like. The Pheonix deal isn't too bad either.

Ford has more value than that, jeez. I honestly think the best Ford deal is the most simple. Trade his ass to Phoenix for Barbosa. Straight up. Wing depth, versatility, shooting, speed. What's not to like?

I'd love it. But it doesn't work financially. We'd have to take on Goran Dragic, Jared Dudley, or Alando Tucker to make it work as well, plus, Phoenix still adds some salary, meaning they won't do it.

Barbosa is not good at defense. Plus, the Suns like him a lot.

A crazy though I just came up with...

http://www.realgm.com/src_checktrade.php?tradeid=5140914

Pacers--
Trade: Murphy, Daniels(Sign and Trade), Ford
Get: Bosh, Banks

**Banks' contract sucks. But it's worthwhile to get Bosh.


Raptors--
Trade: Bosh, Banks
Get: Murphy, J.Richardson

**It seems that Bosh will opt out next year, this trade will help them to get a nice rebounding big man and a super athletic wing player.


Suns--
Trade: J.Richardson
Get: Daniels(Sign and Trade), Ford

**Ford is what have been mentioned. Daniels could play good defense for the Suns.

Ahhh, I thought it did work. I think they would throw in a Dudley or Tucker to make it work if they really liked TJ.

Who cares? He is a 6th man, we don't need him to lock anyone down. I'm not sure the Suns love him anymore either. I have heard his name pop up in trade rumors quite a bit since the Kerr regime took over.

Something for Barbosa makes the most sense to me. Can't imagine us throwing Foster and TJ out there for Richardson. Tucker as the throwin makes some sense for the interium when Dunleavy finishes up his rehab.

I've always liked Barbosa.

Just to clarify, the only time Mo ever started in front of TJ was when he was out with his neck injury. The year that Millwaukee did not make the playoffs while TJ was there.

Suns NOT interested in TJ Ford. Per Yahoo sports

Shame on me for reporting on Wednesday that that the Phoenix Suns had discussed a deal for T.J. Ford with the Indiana Pacers was flawed. The Suns took a call from Indiana on Ford, but had no interest.
