Suns Offseason Thread 2: The Hunt for a Blazer Continues!

[sunsfever68]

Suns insider says Tuck/Kieff to Dal in S&T for Chandler.

Said Aldridge wanted PDX to sign Chandler.

Requested Bledsoe be at meeting w idea of playing w him

So Lamarcus has only 9 years of experience. The max salary for a player with 9 years is roughly $18.9M. Incoming salary can be $5M more than the outgoing salary in a trade for him. So we would need to move about $13.9M to sign Aldridge. Maybe we can work a reasonable deal with Portland where they get the Morri and one more young player plus a few draft picks for LMA. Get to keep Len, Warren, Granger, Booker, Tucker, etc

Hmm I read somewhere it was 20.3.

Weird ... says $18.9M is max on realgm for a player with 9 years in 2015/2016

That's based on a cap of 67.1 (28.234%), and I think it's going to be more like 69, so applying the same %, if that is how it works, would make it roughly $20.01 million.

Keef is good but Aldridge?

Does this guy realize that Markieff is still on the roster?

That guy is just packaging/regurgitating everything that the other reporters say

[bigfoot]

Bosh and Aldridge are like mirror images of each other. Why on earth do they want him in Miami?

Portland and Miami swap Bosh and LMA. Plus Miami throws in some cash, young player, and future draft picks.

Fuqqq. That actually sounds like the best possible scenario for PDX, they would take that in a heartbeat. But LMA would really want to play in South Beach and has to willingly force an S&T since the Blazers brass are unwilling to facilitate one to clear cap space for a pursuing team

WTF! Nobody even knows if Bosh will ever be healthy again. Not happening

[TheXgasm]

From the way reporters are talking, it's possible the Suns are expecting Detroit to waive Granger and sign him back here afterward, plus go for STAT.

I'm leery of the Suns giving up both players in a S&T.


PG-Bledsoe
SG-Knight
SF-Warren
PF-Aldridge
C-Chandler


Bench
Len
Goodwin
Booker
Leuer
Alec Brown
Gerald Green(maybe)




Bench game looks a little weak. Now if they were able to acquire Stoudemire and some backup PG, it would look a lot better.

Bosh is more of a liability for Portland than an asset, don't see them agreeing to that.

[bigfoot]

Suns gotta have a handshake deal with Dallas on a sign-and-trade for Chandler. Kieff plus a first round pick is really good value to get LMA.

[Cutter]

Keef butt hurt about trading his brother. I don't know how to post tweets, but if someone can please post Keefs most recent tweet.

[batsmasher]

Lol I can just imagine now how Mook's going to go on a mission when we play him and score a whopping 15 points on 50 shots to prove trading him was mistake.

He won't be able to keep his mouth shut. Two techs before the second half starts.

[sunsfever68]

Best case scenario.

Tucker plus 2nd round picks to Dallas for Chandler.
Sign Aldridge.
Sign Chandler.
Sign Knight.

Resign Granger when he's waived if he has anything left.

Sign Mo Williams as a backup PG
Sign best available shooter in free agency.

I'm hearing conflicting reports. Can Phoenix not just trade Tucker to Dallas for Chandler and keep Kieff?

And can we work the trade exception via a 3 way trade with Grizzlies, throwing them a future 2nd for their trouble, in order to keep Kieff?

[JacobHoward]

David Aldridge just reported LMA cancelled his meeting with the Knicks.

Kinda bummed about Granger. We could have used him if he was healthy.
