Woelfel says "we're in serious talks for Caron Butler"......doesn't mention names but Brewhoop suggests it will be a combination of Udoh, Slava Kratsov & 2nd round pick

Hopefully it's a heavily protected pick that never actually changes hands. We should include Ish and try and get Kendall Marshall out of the deal.

If it goes down, Woelfel had it first. Got to give him that.

dont see the big deal Butler will have no impact on the wins/losses this season.

Remember when this was the reasoning given for getting Marquis Daniels and then he was basically the reason Tobes sat on the bench and we traded him?

Wait, why on earth should we supposedly be giving up players and picks, even seconds for Butler? He is barely a starting SF at this stage of his career and if it's a guy like Udoh, surely he has more value than Caron? Young good defensive big a few years removed from being a lotto pick on a nice contract for a rapidly aging 33 year old with $8 mil due this year that PHX don't even want on their roster?

They get a better, younger player in Udoh, can have Kravhstov as a throw in and save themselves $2-3 million dollars. Why wouldn't PHX be giving us some seconds to take him?

Hashing out details?

We're screwed

This is gonna be official. He's on our team. Why would've caron tweeted that out. Also with that Kennedy tweet, it's now just a waiting game to find out what we gave up. Here is to hoping its ish and a 2nd

[Larry Hensen]

If its for udoh I'm all for it but this is all stupid considering bledsoe.

[Max Green]

I'm guessing Delfino might not be ready at the start of the season as they hoped. Other then possible taking away minutes from Middleton/Yanni I don't really feel one way or another by this, Caron won't affect our wins/losses in any meaningful way. Would've preferred to have stayed with what we have giving minutes to Middleton/Yanni.

Bye, Ekpe.

Hello less minutes for Greek Freak

Good move on that one Hammond.

[Garbs_7]

I know it's probably only a 2nd, but we should not be giving up picks to bring in Caron. His value is rock bottom, especially to Phoenix who want to lose and would be more than happy for another team to pay his $8 mil this year. We have to be getting the pick if we are saving the Suns a couple mil and giving them back younger players who could become decent rotation guys.

I. Hate. This. Team.

[TheWig]

Why didn't Buckpack mention anything about this trade?

[benultimate]

Great, probably eating into the cap room we could have used during the season to take back a contract and picks...... not that we actually would have done that, but would have been nice to dream.

Caron has one **** up eye.

I need taxpayer funding!!!!! Excuse me. I must light 8 million dollars on fire.

Bogut = 0 All Star appearances, Caron = 1 All Star appearance. Strike up another win for Bone on the trade table.
