Toronto's big Deadline Day decision, of course, is whether to finally surrender a first-rounder (likely with Jared Sullinger) for PJ Tucker.

Unless it includes us tacking on a first rounder.

The Suns continue to shop Brandon Knight and other vets (including Tyson Chandler) but have struggled all week for traction on their guys.

I will even throw some cash Toronto's way if they give us a 1st rounder for PJ. I mean like a dollar or something

No shocker that they are shopping Knight or that they don't have takers. I do find it a little interesting they are shopping Tyson around.

Chandler is only being shopped so we can get rid of Knight. You can't make a Knight trade unless the opposing team actually brings in someone that will help them...hence Chandlers name being out there.

You think someone is taking on $25M worth of Tyson and Knight?

I'm going to be stressing out until the deadline passes. Only because I don't want us to stand pat. Can't keep a team of vets.

If we don't make any deals, I better see the rookies get heavy minutes. Derrick Jones needs to play a lot as well as Williams.

With the rumors that we are hearing I bet for this trade:

Knight + our 2017 2nd for Jeff Green.

Tucker can be traded too, but they need to put a decent pick on that trade...we will see it.

Oh, remember when Rubio was an elite prospect?
Now they're struggling to trade him (w/o Shabazz) for freakin Derrick Rose
Geez, man

"In addition to P.J. Tucker, Toronto has also pursued Wilson Chandler, league sources say. Denver, like Phoenix, wants a first-rounder back"

King4Day · Post #1516 » by **King4Day** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 3:29 pm

Like I said. Buyers market. Toronto will use that against us and force us to take a 2nd rounder or 2.

if we end up with Dummond or Okafor while simultaneously trading Knight PJ and Chandler, and not give up our 2017 pick and our young core; how successful would you say this trade deadline is on a scale of 1-10?

Well if the rumors are true it sounds like our front office is finally embracing the tank. The tough part is, can Mcmagic pull off 2 or 3 trades with such a small window.
