Re: Official Trade Thread: The Block Is Hot!!
OK. Rose is NOT better than dragic. How the **** do you people complain about Goran not being g a championship piece yet you want to trade for taj **** Gibson? That dude just screams role player, and certainly not one that's going to make us any better if Goran is gone. This board has a bad case of trade fever.
"Mannnnn I’m like the guy that pissed this whole board off saying literally all year no Mikal, no Mikal in the KD trade."

With Love out tonight and the Baby interview, my thought was that a PHX trade for Love is about to happen. I hope it's not Dragic but it might be.

Re: Official Trade Thread: The Block Is Hot!!
On the Babster's comments: you'd be shooting yourself in the foot if you didn't have Goran in trade conversations. I'm inclined to think they're probably not actively shopping him but using him when targeting players. My guess is he's a 50/50 to stay. Side note: Woelful is a dud.

Yeah, Jordan was too. Kobe was/is a POS as well. Lots of the greats get that rap. Would i take any of those guys in their prime? HELL YES! Why? Because when it comes to what they do on the court, THEY GET S**T DONE!
Fact of the matter is Cousins is one of the most promising dominant bigs in the game. He is also former teammates with Bledsoe and they are friends. Cousins on the Suns would immediately boost us into contender status and we would remain there for years to come.
Yeah but F a championship, we're all about sportsmanship

Jordan, Olajuwon, Duncan, Bryant, Wade, Pierce, Nowitzki.
The last 22/23 championships have been built on 7 drafting decisions.
How you interprete that, determines what strategy you take, and how much skill v luck is involved.

I can see it now. Trade Bledsoe for Love. Love bolts to LA this offseason, Goran leaves to NY.

Like I mentioned before, it would probably be DragicBros/MoBros for Love/Shumpert. It fits both teams. I think Love is more suited for the Western Conference up-tempo style of play.
Bled/Shump/Tucker/Love/Len
IT/Green/Warren/Wright/Plumlee
Ideally, you put four solid defenders around Love and that counteracts his defense deficiencies. We still have plenty of trade pieces to make another deal for a better rotation player if we wanted.

No way does Dragic to CLE make any sense. He thinks he plays off the ball now. Yikes.

Has Shump been with the Cavs long enough to be in a multiple player trade?

So you're saying LeBron and Shaq didn't impact any of those? I'd throw quite a few more players in there, including Pippen, who Jordan couldn't have won without. KG too..Pierce gets nowhere without him.

Imagine how happy some will be with a starting lineup of Ennis, Goodwin, Warren, Kieff (though he'd have to be included in a Love deal) so whoever else we could get if Love left, and Len.
Then we could get all those superstars that are guarantees if you get a top 5 pick and win a championship!
Or no, we'd still have IT, so the IT lovers would be happy.
That lineup up there would be fun to watch, at least for a little while until I remembered why guards were developing in practice and the D league....because they were not ready yet.

Can' be Love/ Shump- Shump was just traded together with Smith to the Cavs. There should be a 60 day moratorium on trading him in a package again.
I think it's Love/Marion for Bledsoe, PJ and Suns Pick. IT/Plum go to LAL for Ed Davis, Nash, protection moved from top 5 to top 3, with unprotected next year. Amare gets bought out and signed.
Nash (word is he is healthy)/ Archie/ Ennis
Dragic/ Green/ Dragic
Marion/ Mook/ Warren/ Bullock
Love/ Kieff/ Davis
Amare/ Len/ Wright
The three amigos join together with the youngsters for a great last ride into the playoffs......

Re: Official Trade Thread: The Block Is Hot!!
Bickley gives a very interesting outlook on what the Suns are going to be doing: http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/n ... /23322929/
Pretty much how I feel about the Suns. I really think they need to trade away all the Lance Blanks era players and also Isaiah Thomas. I remember some of the most fun I had going to Suns games was in the 2003-2004 season after the Suns traded Marbury and Hardaway. Watching Amare Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, and Shawn Marion blossom was a beautiful thing. I would love to watch the Suns young guys grow right now with Bledsoe and Len rather than the product the Suns are currently putting out there on the court. Obviously Goodwin, Warren, and Ennis are nowhere near where Stoudemire, Marion, and Johnson were in 2004, but who cares. This Suns team right now lacks heart and effort. I guarantee those rookies would play every game as hard as they can. Suns have nothing to lose turning the team over to the young players.

You don't think Gibson would help our defense?

As in all players brought in or drafted by Lance Blanks?
including Goran?

I pretty much agree with him too. Doesn't mean I want to trade Dragic because I think re-signing him makes him a valuable asset, much more valuable than he has now for trade purposes and he could be a guy a team would love to get in a BIG trade for a star. You've got to match salaries in a trade like that and you have to trade out a solid player or two along with picks.
If he walks, then so be it, but I don't think the likely return is worth dumping him if there is a pretty good chance we lock him up and make him a good asset for the future. Trading him now isn't accumulating assets. Not valuable ones.

I guess I should have mentioned it would have to be two separate deals. Dragon bros/Kieff for Love, then Marcus for Shump.
