He does everything really well, has huge wingspan... can play some 5
would put us in a more traditional lineup and maybe free up some space for a scoring SF in the future
(no need for tucker when taj would be rebounding now)

Taj a a small PF at 6'8" and is pretty light in weight. He has been a bench player most of his career. He came off the bench behind Carlos Boozer, and now comes off the bench behind Pau Gasol. Taj is like Markieff. He is not a difference maker as a starter, but he does well as a 6th man.

He's 6'10 and has 7'4 wingspan
I wouldnt call it small by any means.

He isnt bulked up, but he's pretty strong. Really tough to work with him in the post.

I agree, Taj is a hard nosed tough PF that plays no nonsense defense. We haven't seen a PF like him on our team in many many years. :lol:

He's not on our roster, so that means he's infinitely better than Kieff

I swear, we just want different names on our roster, regardless of fit.

If Tobias Harris is available, I think he's a good target. I don't get a lot of the other trades that get thrown around.

If you weren't a UA fan, I'd swear we were the same person.

Dragic + Plumlee to Rockets???

For who?

D-Mo and NOH pick would be my thinking.

Then...
Morris twins + Green for Afflalo + McGee Nuggets 2015 pick

C: Len/McGee
PF: D-Mo/Wright
SF: Batum/Warren/Bullock
SG: Afflalo/Goodwin
PG: Bledsoe/Thomas/Ennis

With 3 first (4 if lakers finish outside top 5)... For another splash in 2016 FA/Offseason.

Could snag an All-Star with that much picks and assets.

Not digging the second trade. The first isn't bad if Dragic really wants out.

I'm just putting all latest rumors together... Around 2 weeks more til deadline.

People are saying Dwight's injury looks bad, and Houston has done well without him. Rose is always injured, Brooks is expiring and Hinrich sucks, so CHI might need a PG. Maybe a 3 way deal involving Dragic, IT, Green and the Morris twins where we get Dwight and Gibson back.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nxs9gwa

Howard/Len/Plumlee
Gibson/Wright
Tucker/Warren
Goodwin/Bullock
Bledsoe/Ennis

Leaves our SG position very weak, but we could probably address that through the draft or FA. That's a hell of a defensive team though.

Goran is not gone. Do not read into the retweet.

I was a huge fan of Dragic during his time in Houston but I'm fairly certain that the Rockets will not trade D-Mo, at this point he is more valuable to our team than any non-superstar type player would be. Sadly I don't think we have another combination of players that could make sense for both teams. Dragic is the perfect fit next to harden but so is DMo.

I'd imagine Jones + NOP pick + Kostas + Capella are all on the table but DMo is who the Suns covet.

Dragic could just be posturing like Bledsoe did.

Bledsoe got a max deal out of it.

MilotheSlayer · Post #831 » by **MilotheSlayer** » Thu Feb 5, 2015 4:34 am

I would flip the Morri, PJ and 15phx 1st for Kevin Love.
Then I'd flip IT and Plumlee and 17phx first top 15 protected for Taj

Run a lineup of:
Bledsoe/Ennis
Dragic/Goodwin/Zoran
Warren/Green/Bullock
Klove/Taj
Len/Wright

Maybe sign a Vet SF, then fill out the bench with good character high energy guys. We'd have a 'high character' team, that rebound the ball and spaces the floor. We have players that have potential on the defensive end of the floor. We'd also keep the LA first to bolster a position of need. Dragic would be more likely to stay as well with the ball being in his hands more often. We might fall in the standings this year but long term I like the potential.

Westbrook with 45, 6 and 6. And some people don't think he's a good superstar to build around smh.

Post #833 » by **Qwigglez** » Thu Feb 5, 2015 4:40 am

How about this three team trade...
Suns get-
Tobias Harris/Taj Gibson

Magic get-
Isaiah Thomas
PJ Tucker
Miles Plumlee
Suns 1st

Bulls get-
Channing Frye

Suns
Bledsoe/Dragic/Harris/Kieff/Len
Ennis/Green/Marcus/Gibson/Wright

Lollll Taj for Frye??

Revived · Post #835 » by **Revived** » Thu Feb 5, 2015 4:47 am

I don't think the Bulls want Frye. He has negative trade value. Chicago will have to get one hell of a trade asset in order for them to deal away a good player and take on a terrible contract.

Post #836 » by **Qwigglez** » Thu Feb 5, 2015 4:53 am

IDK. I been watching some Bulls games and they could use a stretch four with some experience to spread the floor.
Also, if we were to trade Dragic because we were certain he wouldn't sign with us over the offseason, would you guys trade em for Mirotic? Would the Bulls do that deal?

I cant imagine what would be his numbers playing 'solo'.
Maybe some 30/8/8. He's really that good.

We should add him to our point guard collection.

He is really good, though.

And then Curry goes with 51-4-4 (10 3pt)

He's a beast. My favorite non Suns player in the NBA right now. Curry is second and he went off for 50 today too.
