Official Trade Thread: New Year, New Thread, New Laughs

Come on guys, we do not have a better guard rotation than the Warriors. Curry alone makes their guards way better than ours and way better than any guards combos or trios in the NBA.

For example, Curry, Ish Smith, and Sebastian telfair is a better trio than Bledsoe, Dragic and IT imo.

Now you add in the fact that Curry isn't playing with scrubs, his backcourt teammate is actually the guy who will probably will MIP in Klay Thompson and the answer is a no brainer.

WTF have you been smoking. Ish Smith and Telfair ... SMH

Yes...Steph Curry is that good.

Him and any 2 scrubs in the NBA are better than any backcourt in the NBA.

How bout Isaiah Thomas/Miles Plumlee for Joakim Noah. Noah hasn't been playing well at all this year, and I think it's mostly because Pau Gasol is such a beast. This trade gives them stability at the PG spot since D-Rose is consistently injured. IT is a better option than both Kirk and Brooks offensively. Plumlee gives the Bulls an added body for the 4/5 position since they like to rotate those guys out frequently. This also gives them a little less salary so when they offer Jimmy Butler that max contract they won't be so heavily taxed next year.
For the Suns, we finally get a rebounder/shot blocker. Noah has an ugly Shawn Marion style jumper, but it is surprisingly reliable, though I'm not sure about this year. He has absolutely no post-up game (to me) but he has a high motor. I'd rather take Pau, but I think the Bulls consider him untouchable even if we offered the Lakers and our own pick.
Anyway, we would obviously have to start Len and Noah so it might not work out chemistry wise or spacing wise. We might have to give up Green for someone like Kirk Hinrich or Aaron Brooks just to make it more fair for the Bulls.

[Frank Lee]

Dangle Bledsoe or Dragic... you might get Noah.

Our cast offs and un-neededs are not going to get marquis players back. I don't think Thomas or Plum have much value in trade land. Nor Green , nor Tucker. The MoBros may be our best chip, aside from Bled, Goran, and the Kraine

McDo has put us in a position to go forward with what we have and make a legitimate run at #7 or #8 spot. (the likely goal from the top) We improved slightly (Wright), perhaps enough to assure a play off birth if all goes well. But the FO has also accumulated enough assets to be able to entertain/attract solicitation from teams who may have that disgruntling superstar who has yet to publicly demand a trade. I imagine we are taking calls, listening, but really do not have to do anything more this year.

If a legit allstar-ish player, a difference maker both on the court and in the seats, becomes available, we can put together as attractive as a package as anyone.

Lol not sure you grasped the true value of a young C who can rebound, defend and make a play with a ball in their hands.

You'll have to offer them everything and the kitchen sink just to get them to listen

[BobbieL]

Suns need to move four players to move forward and make this team a long term success

The Morri twins
Isiah Thomas
Gerald Green

These guys are all about putting the ball in the hoop; a bit selfish in their play. And I say the Morri are selfish as how many T's do they have. That is selfish. Green and Thomas stop the ball. Not the best defenders or rebounders. When they are scoring, they all are good. But Friday, Kieff was 1 for 12; Green took like 19 shots to make 18 points with many turnovers.

Addition by subtraction - get rid of these four and figure out how to get a TEAM. If Philly, who are doing a good job of winning right now and its obvious Minn and NYK are the worst teams - if they would take the Morri - that would be ideal for both teams. Plus, they are a package deal - you have to have both of them

Green - just done with his inconsistent play. He is more style than substance, - also a free agent

Thomas - just stops the damn ball. Yes, he scores points but at the expense of the team

The two guards maybe, but not the Morri.

I think he means chemistry and team impact wise.
Curry with two other PGs who understand their role and sacrifice stats > team with multiple very good PGs that aren't in sync or don't sacrifice for each other.

[JDLAW]

Jeez some of you guys are sounding like the crazy Rockets fans. There is one of them who thinks they can trade Terrance Jones for Alex Len. It is not much different than trading our young players and scraps for Cousins, Bosh or Noah. Or just throwing away players like Thomas and Green and pronouncing "Addition by Subtraction".

Get a grip on reality.

[NavLDO]

Love that we got Wright, but bummed that we didn't work something out to get Sullinger as well. Doubt that we would do a 2nd trade with Boston, but here's another option:

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nxepkb9

Suns In: Bass, Sullinger, Pressey

Celtics In: KieffMo, CusMo, Ennis, Suns 2016 1st (Top 13 protected)

Gets us our banger down low, and Bass to back him up. For Boston, we're swapping young PGs, with them getting the better. They get the Morri which are decent trade assets, and our 2016 1st, yet another asset for them. Probably still not enough from us for Sullinger on such a cheap contract.

Here are a couple of other options to get us that PF.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=odnjsyq

Suns In: B. Biyombo - Good rebounder and upgrades our PF position in that aspect.

Hornets In: G. Green, Suns 2015 1st (Top 13 protected) - They get some offense with Green and our 1st this year.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=luyf99h

Suns In: O'Quinn, Ridnour -- Get a bigger body developmental type in O'Quinn, and a downgrade in PGs for the trouble

Orl In: I. Thomas -- Upgrade their PG position while opening up their overcrowded PF position.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=oyghurj

Admittedly, this one is a bit off-kilter; not sure if we'd have to give a pick as well???

Suns In: Bennett, T. Young

Minny In: PJ, Plumlee, Green

You should go propose that trade on the Bulls board to see if they are game.

LOL...all of them??

[JDLAW]

Yes but keep trying - it's entertaining. lol

[bwgood77]

LOL...all of them??

I don't think the O'Quinn one is bad.

[kennydorglas]

I love Biyombo, but Green+1st is TOO MUCH for him.

[NavLDO]

I love Biyombo, but Green+1st is TOO MUCH for him.

Green and a 2nd? Just trying to account for the fact that a big is worth more than wing.

Did you bother to read the so called rumor/article ?

It is no more news worthy than any trade proposed here.
