I'm glad they are looking for options to improve this team.

Dragic on the block sucks, tho. I think they already know he isnt re-signing here.

Green did only get 8 minutes last game, its possible he has fallen from the teams good graces, maybe reggie take minutes since archie is one of those 2 years away from being 2 year away guy

Traxx never mentioned that the Great Shav was on the block... this blockbuster is out of left field!!!! Im not a Suns Fan anymore!!! KIDDING...LMFAO :lol:

This has to be a precursor to deals coming.... IT HAS TO BE! I think the Rockets make a win now move and give us Monti for Dragic. That will lead us to try to move the Morri!

I'm shocked that Bullock never got a real chance with Clippers.
I really like him.

You got a steal with Bullock, he is a good defender with length that can really shoot it.

Not the position you are thinking of.
Spoiler:
Power Forward (Markeiff)

The position in question needs to say. "_____is very good at rebounding, positioning for rebounds, boxing out, and posting up."

Saying that this individual is playing great is for low standards. Sure the numbers this player is putting up are great for a role player but not what you want from your starter and a player who gets a ton of minutes. Some fans have forgotten what it is like to actually have a game changer at this position. So yes if the right deal comes along, HELL YES you trade this guy!!

Nobody is saying that Markieff is untouchable. He isn't, like everyone else on this team. But he's our best player this season and is wildly underappreciated on this forum. If he was an above average rebounder and rim protector, besides the things he already does well (posting-up, mid-range, 3-point and free-throw shooting, passing, forcing turnovers, taking charges, "clutchness") he would cost $16M per year, not $8M.

Lol. He indirectly said who wasn't on the block though. :wink:

I like D-Mo, but not for the expense of Dragic. I'm also unsure how a D-Mo/Len front line would like. It reminds me of the clutter that is going on with the Pistons.

We are not selling tickets and we lose just about every close game we are in. If I am Sarver and McDonough I have to consider it especially with our superior training staff at his beck and call. This is a trade I might have to swallow hard on but I think I could live with.

To the Knicks
Morris Twins 6.2
Thomas 7.2
Green 3.5
Plumlee 1.1
Randolph 1.2

Total 19.2

To the Suns

Carmelo 22.5
Aldrich .9
Total 23.4

I believe this would work under the current CBA. I think you have to be within 25% + $100,000 to make a deal work.

We end up with (Assuming we are able to get Bullock)

C - Alex Len, Cole Aldrich
PF - Carmelo Anthony, Brandon Wright
SF - Tucker, Bullock, Warren
SG - Dragic, Goodwin
PG - Bledsoe, Ennis

This trade would net us a star while keeping Dragic. It also will free up playing time for Bullock,Goodwin, Ennis and Warren.

Probably has no shot in hell of happening but somehow I just think McDonough is gong to swing for the fences. If he doesn't, so be it. I like this team just the way it is.

Randolph is gone. I am sure we are giving up 5 rotation players for a gimpy knee'd $20+MM forward who is weighing as to whether to shut down for the season. This is realistic? :crazy:

Hypothetically say they are going to trade Dragic anyway... we have some idea that the teams who want him the worst are seemingly in order the Rockets.... Lakers....Knicks..... Pacers... Who would you accept from those teams... if we are actually trading him that is.

Sunsdeuce · Post #853 » by **Sunsdeuce** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 8:49 pm

Bye Bye Green, IT, and Plumlee. Its almost a certain that they will be gone either now or within the next year.

Sunsdeuce · Post #854 » by **Sunsdeuce** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 8:51 pm

Quick question: How in the hell do we keep fleecing (more like STEALING from) the Clippers?????

Is their management/GM/Coach that bad?

Quoted from the clippers fans:

TucsonClip wrote:Awful deal...

We still need to deal another player to hit 125% of salary and stay below the hard cap.

Doc is now responsible for dealing 3 1sts in 1 1/2 years.

Bullock (2013 1st), 2015 1st to Boston for Doc and 2017 1st to dump Dudley on Milwaukee.

Weird but the Rivers/Bullock/Randolph trade does not work in the ESPN trade machine.

Yeah... I think Green is gone and wouldnt be suprised if all of the stuff the Morri have done lately has gotten them on the outside looking in.

Post #857 » by **Qwigglez** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 8:52 pm

Spoiler:

From those teams, probably just D-Mo. Lol.
Lakers, to remove their protection on the pick.
Knicks have no one.
Pacers have nobody unless we can steal Paul George

Weird ... now it does. It was saying the Clippers can't bring in more salary than sending out because they are over the cap. How's that work?

Can Reggie Bullock be our new Raja Bell?
