PHX could use a better center or another 2-guard.

He's not going anywhere that fast. If anyone's traded, I'd think Green makes the most sense.

I assume they'll keep him, as Goodwin is no sure thing, and it's very possible that Dragic could walk at year's end. What now appears as too deep could quickly become completely bare.

Yup. Green could have value on the market, and could cost too much for them at year's end. Or, just crash back to Earth.

Yep, personally I'd look to move him now if I were them, just b/c I worry about the latter. They'd still have Dragic/Bledsoe/Goodwin/Ennis/Thomas and are rumored to be looking at Dragic's brother. I think they may want to sign him as it would likely mean Goran would resign next year for sure.

Ennis is a nice prospect, but I don't see what team would give up proper value until they see him play. He isn't a high potential player IMO, he just projects to be good.. Rookies like that don't have value until they show some signs of it.

Just my opinion obviously but rookies outside the top "10" (ish) aren't really valued too high until they play. And with Dragic/IT/Bledsoe I don't see how he is playing. Doesn't mean he has no value obviously, but I imagine he is a better player than his value will suggest. Using him as a throw in is a waste, but might be the best thing for the Suns given their collection of assets and lack of a quality big man.. Obviously Keiff/Plumlee are good players, but looking for something better than that. Milwaukee seems like the best spot for Ennis .. But lets not make any Milwaukee/Phx trades for a few months.

And now I'm very confused what happens with IT. Is he immediately available December 15th?

I'd hold on to him, maybe stash him in the D-League OKC style because you never know what's going to happen with Dragic and Bledsoe. Dragic's a free agent in 2015 and Bledsoe misses like 1/3 of each season like clockwork.

That said, if I'm Phoenix, I'm shopping just about everybody in hopes of swinging a trade for a legit star the way Houston did with Harden. Ennis could be a nice filler piece that could catch the attention of a team wanting a young point guard with good potential.

Randy Foye for Ennis. Denver will need a pg since Nate us coming back from an injury and they can free up some minutes for Gary Harris. I also think Ennis and faried would play well together.

Doesn't really make sense for Phoenix. I think they'd want frontcourt help, not another tweener guard.

Ennis (and a touch of filler) for Amir.

What about sending him to Philly for their Miami pick?

Phx doesn't need any SGs.

PF/C is the position that's needed the most.

Bledsoe
Dragic
Tucker
Morris
Plumlee


Thomas
Green
Morris
Tolliver
Len


This is probably greens final year in PHX because
You have to pay dragic and markieff. If Meeks gets paid green will get that and then some.


They have insurance in ennis, Goodwin and that euro guy they stashed overseas.
They also have two first round picks next year (maybe 3)

LAL 2015
PHX 2015
Minn 2015 (unlikely)

I had a good run.

I don't think we move Green.
I also don't think he's going to get paid like many of you do because of how many times he's let people down.
We'll pay him somewhere in the $4M-$6M range, likely a short 2 year deal once again.
Don't see very many teams going head over heels to sign Green based on his history regardless of how well he plays in our system.

Ennis is definitely available, but the problem is that we won't be getting the return we would expect for him because everyone knows our position. Our best bet is to hold on to him and use him in case of injuries (highly likely) or a Dragic departure (highly unlikely).

If I were the Hornets GM, I'd resign Kemba, Al, and Biz first in 2015, and after that, there's no doubt I'd use the full MLE (4/24?) to sign Green assuming there's enough room under the apron (there definitely should be unless Kemba really blows up and warrants the max or something). Only problem is I see teams offering plenty more. I'd be bracing for a Jeff Green-esque contract, personally.

Meyers Leonard?

If you don't think Pho would trade their recent 1st round pick for a mediocre 2 guard that would be behind Dragic/Bledsoe/Thomas/Green in the guard rotation than you are obviously a Pho homer.

If they want to play a lotto bust center they already have Len.

I had a good run.

Johnson would be a great fit as a running 5 for Pho.

And Ennis, arguably makes sense in Toronto. And it's hard to hard Johnson is worth a lot more than this (unless you just hate Ennis).

It feels about right, but the need for Pho is a lot higher so I think they'd probably have to give up more at the end of the day.
