The 2016 Offseason Thread

[alldayeveryday]

So we signed both Dudley and Barbosa.

The next question is what are they going to offer Amare. I dont want him back, but i really feel like its coming.

McD is going to sacrifice relics of Suns past to bring the franchise back to life.

For some reason your post just gave me the mental image of pre-tip off of opening day, them trotting out Dudley, Barbosa, and Amare to center court, each one waving at the fans as their name and accomplishments are called, then Booker, Bender, and Chriss come up from behind and slit the 3's throats, spilling blood onto the Suns logo at center court.

Someone has been watching GoT a little too much.

i was going with more of the burning angle but that works too haha

Okay, Woj Bomb

Why do the Suns need Barbosa with Bledsoe, Knight, Ulis, Booker and Goodwin?

Well, the Heat need a two guard

Riley is aggressive


Knight to the Heat perhaps for Justice Winslow

Zero reason to sign Leandro unless one of the above - specifically Knght, is moved. And I like the signing by the way

Winslow and Roberts for Knight and Warren

that's my Wojbomb prediction

We're going to have to give up a lot more to get Winslow. But if that does happen, I think I might cry from happiness...

[Mulhollanddrive]

Even Brandon Knight is thinking I see my role changing now.

[lilfishi22]

Loooove me some LB! One of my favorite Suns player.

[GetYourPHX]

Are we really going to fun and gun again next year?

This is great!

[Kjdills13]

You claim that getting Love for a truckload of young assets (that's what it would cost) is worth it if it nets us Westbrook, while I point out you weren't a fan of that approach when Aldridge was the prize for signing Chandler. That's a one to one comp.

Aside from the Chandler/Aldridge thing not making any sense to me... here is the original post and trade that was in discussion

Note the 'Boatload' so just stop with the false claims and assumptions

No one else pays attention or responds to these trades of yours, so I will. If the Suns traded Bender and Knight for Love that would be awful. For everyone other than maybe you and casual fans.

...........

Why did you drag me into this BWood? Im done here.


PS.... sorry FoReal.... I just don't like people misrepresenting my comments in order to feather their own cap

I have no idea what exactly you are talking about, and what makes you think I brought you into a discussion...I just saw you quoted me. That pipe you are smoking makes things a bit rough.

I do see you seem to have given me the Big Wood nickname. Thanks for such an assumption, though I'm straight.

If you think KJDills trades are real propositions out there, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but they are not. Please don't smoke any more after reading that and realizing it would TAKE a lot more to get Love. I think you've had enough.

Strange to see you quoting my posts while arguing with Miyagi and now quoting this guys post and referring to me and my "B" Wood. Getting a little concerned.

I'm going to settle this, going back to the original post
The cavs would never do that ( I just throw **** out there BC I like to hear people talk about how they wouldn't trade rookies for ANY BODY BC IT MAKES ME LAUGH)

Everyone knows if that trade was on the table the Suns would accept without blinking.

I think "B" Wood was referring to the point that it would take more than this to get love and what it would take to get him wouldn't be worth it which I agree.

[Mulhollanddrive]

If Tucker and Dudley aren't a complete disaster, I can see us winning 40 games.

[RunDogGun]

Lou!

We're getting the band back together!

I don't think everyone knows. I think it would be pretty split

Actually who has a better bench than:

Barbosa, Knight, Warren, better of Bender / Chriss, Len

Probably would beat our starters, tbh. Not sure what that tell us tho

From a risk/reward standpoint, I'd rather have Brandon Jennings on $5m per.

But locker room wise, this makes more sense.

[JMac1]

That 05' team was exciting but flawed. The two best players were allergic to defense and had a horrible bench. Q-Rich was fugazi.

They played together for one year. But hey, you have the right to your opinion.

My opinion was regarding that year so... I mean Steven Hunter was getting significant playoff minutes for that team. BC knew that team was flawed in the front court. He acquired both Diaw/ Thomas and that was BEFORE it was announced Amare needed microfracture.

Btw looking at the timeline BC quit mid season. When has a GM has ever left one team for another in February?

Every team is flawed somewhere. Our flaw was TD and injuries. Dallas took care of them for us in 05, but no Amare and JJ in 05 and we know what happened in 06-07, but that's cool, every can feel how they want, at the end of the day 04-05 Suns with experience in 05 and 06 and 07 would have at least one title.

Gale Sayers would have been insane if he hadn't had his injury, same with Kerry Wood and Mark Prior, **** happens and when it does all you can do is believe what could have been and make piece with it. As far as I am concerned that was our championship run, now we are starting over. If other people here feel different, that's on them.

It tells us you are either ridiculous or angry.

[Kerrsed]

Kind of crazy to think that a team that was 1 game away from winning back-2-back titles has had such a high roster turnover this year.

Sure, the got Durant, but they also lost Barnes/Bogut/Barbosa/Rush/Ezeli/Clark. I guess it doesnt matter when the ring chasers are starting to come out the woodwork like West (Rumored Ray Allen, Jermain O'Neal, David Lee, Kendrick Perkins, Mario Chalmers).

No way! If we swapped Knight for Winslow, that would put Mc'D in the Theo Epstein league

[PhxSunsFan13]

LEAAAANNNDDDRRRROOO BAARRRRBBOOOOSSSSAAAA!! Meep-meep!

[JMac1]

Okafor for Knight and Chandler w/ Tucker or Goodwin.

Nah....doesn't fit anymore. Don't forget fellas, we had to spend 10 million more to reach the cap minimum, so it could mean nothing.

[Stix]

It's like Christmas Eve, someone is getting traded. I trust McD won't give us coal. In all honesty I think it could be Bledsoe.

As far as they are concerned, who cares if they lost all those guys? You'd trade that package for Durant wouldn't you and expect your team to be better?
