He is not an SF. No way.

Thanks. either way with the Lakers current roster I can see the Lakers taking a chance on Kieff.. The Lakers were a determined suitor for Lawson despite his offcourt problems so I dont think its gonna be a issue. But pelton must be smoking the greens if he thinks the Lakers would give up Randle for Kieff especially for a guy who is not gonna net you a lot of value.

Funny thing is that if Suns wouldn't trade for Marcus (to make Kieff happy) this all would never happen.
Don't want any more freaking brothers on that team. Never.

Morris is a frustrating cause but not a lost one. He is high-maintenance and needy, which puts him in good company in the NBA. He is also a hard worker who loves his teammates and hates to lose.

He really demonstrates that by not calling back his team mates

Of course those are stars, but if the players are better than alternatives, you play them and then find out if it is clear they are a disruption. There is no evidence whatsoever at this point that the team will be a better team (without another addition) with him not playing. That might be the case, but we don't need to jump to conclusions yet.

Yeah, but did those players outline their plan of non cooperation like NoMoBro did ? Seem like there would not be any legal beef in this unless it was pushed by Queef...he's still getting his dough.

Don't know what to think of Bolvin... she might as well ask for the moon rather than him to be contrite.

Oh, I haven't seen his outline yet. All I heard was Gambo saying he had a source that said something like that which I think I mentioned was rampant speculation at best.

So if there is an outline out there, I may change my tune. If by "Bolvin", you mean Paola Boivin, she's a person I trust to not report nonsense and not call their own opinions in their head "sources".

Give us Boozer and his son (Sacre) in return and I'd call that fair value.

i was hoping there would be some way to talk to kieff and get him to realize he's being an ass, come to his senses and be apart of this team. after watching this, noticing there is no highlights shown of him, it's becoming clear that was wishful thinking and he will no longer be a part of the suns.

Would you guys do a straight up faired for Morris deal? Faired Loves to run and is a great energy guy and I could see him and Bledsoe connecting on as many oops as CP3 and Blake or DeAndre. And Morris helps us with shooting while spacing the floor for Nurkic

I doubt the Suns are interested in Faried. I'm certain they would prefer a stretch 4.

I think if Faried is out there you go get him. His range is a bit of a killer, but his ability to rebound, run the break and finish would be very good in PHX as things speed up even more. Need to have him out there with three shooters and one of Chandler/Len. Maybe play him at the three as well, some. I might be a little reticent to give up Tucker for salary matching without getting something else in return from DEN as well.

Bled, Knight, Teletovic, Faried, Chandler

Rebounding on the front line would be great and could lead to great fast break opportunities.

Let's not forget Faried's new deal will kick in this season. It's approx $12.5m a year!

I can't and one anyone.

Don't want anything to do with Faried and that deal. He's a good player but isn't what we need, nor is his skillset suited to the 'new' NBA.

I'd be trying for a 3-teamer, sending Kieff out and trying to get back Sullinger to play the 4. Send Kieff to PHI or TOR, picks/filler to Celtics, Sullinger + filler to the Suns...

Something like

Markieff to TOR
Sullinger + James Johnson to PHX
Terrence Ross to BOS

TOR get to keep 2Pat for that bench role, while Celtics get a 3pt gunner they can easily shift if they don't want him.

NTB · Post #239 » by **NTB** » Fri Aug 14, 2015 10:56 am

Celtics trade Sullinger for Ross? And they have like 3939202 guards in their team. I'd trade Markieff for James Johnson.

Suns have no interest in trading kieff as of right now. He is under contract and is expected to perform.
