Damn, PHX has some toxic contracts. They're actually worse than us! Otis hands out 4yr deals, their GM gives away 5 yr deals. Wow, Props to Nash for not requesting a trade from that.

Question for you guys.......

Would you do a Howard for Melo swap straight up?

Sunsdeuce · Post #445 » by **Sunsdeuce** » Tue Feb 28, 2012 1:50 am

I can tell you suns don't want j Nelson... Along with 98 percent of suns fans want no part of so those of you who like j Nelson it would be great cause your gonna keep him. Suns already have Arron Brooks as our restricted free agent. Which all but guarantees his return.

Suns want salary dump along with youth and draft picks. A third team would almost certainly need to be added.

Will see how aggressive Otis is. Cause it's gonna take alot. Nash in phx is money in sarvers pocket. It's gonna take more then a measly j Nelson and redick. There is no benefit for the suns there. Even throwing in Ryan Anderson isn't enough. Sarver see no ca$h there.

The Suns can kiss ass then, because a 38 year old Nash isn't worth it. Hopefully Otis isn't that dumb.

This may be better as it saves PHX $12 mil over the next few years (with Orlando, Minny, and LAL sending a pick to PHX):

Add Chandler for us and Hedo for you and I definitely would if Dwight's leaving for sure.

Probably not, Chandler and other players from the Magic would probably be involved.

Wouldn't that just be a three team trade? What is L.A. giving up? Lol.

thelead · Post #452 » by **thelead** » Tue Feb 28, 2012 1:57 am

Lost in all of this is the fact that Dwight is requesting players to come to Orlando. I like our chances of keeping him IF (BIG IG) Otis can come through for us.

LAL give up picks and cap space (to PHX) in my adjusted trade:

Somebody sneak over to Otis' house and leave this on his door step tonight. Be sure to draw arrows to where everyone is going in colorful marker so he can understand.

That's fine and all but the Suns have 10 home games left after the trade deadline this entire season. How much money is Nash in PHX for 10 games? How many tickets can he sell in 10 games?

Send J Rich to Minnesota instead and I'm in.

I think they are absorbing Jameer with the Odom exemption.

But of course, we all know Otis & he'll probably give in to trading Anderson cause he's gonna be so desperate to trade for Nash

I doubt it. But this is a prime example of Otis being in a lose, lose situation. If Phoenix says no Anderson, No deal and he pulls the trigger then he's an "idiot for making the deal.."
If he doesn't then he's an " idiot for NOT taking the deal" ....so does it really matter what we think? Bottom line is, if Dwight says "Get Nash" then you get Nash. What we as fans prefer or not prefer doesn't matter, It's whats best for the team and if they think losing Anderson means we have a better chance at keeping Dwight so be it. I dont want Smith's job.

If this is the tone of your FO, Otis Smith should just say kick rocks with no shoes on.
