Edit: Gambo says Suns will waive Haddadi.

I'm pretty sure we got a 2nd in the deal. Broussard just said we did on Sportsceneter.

Precursor for Gortat or JO trade?

In addition to Haddadi, Phoenix also gets 2nd round pick from Toronto for Telfair

[Dambo]

oh no...?

I'm SHOCKED at how well Bassy played for the Suns and gladly admit I was very very wrong about his signing. But I'm not sad to see him go, I'm happy for him. He's been a good player the last couple years; he deserves to be playing in a regular rotation. But the Suns are going nowhere and it makes no sense to play him over Marshall or even Garrett. Best wishes, Bassy!

Can confirm Toronto & Phoenix agreed to deal sending Hamed Haddadi & protected 2nd round pick to Suns & PG Sebastian Telfair to Raps.

[RunSunRun]

Yep, wasn't a fan at all of Telfair when he first signed. However, the guy actually did play pretty well for us and I admit as well that I was wrong about him. Good luck to him in Toronto. Wonder if we plan to keep Haddadi or did we just do this to get back a 2nd round pick.

The protection on the second round pick coming back for Telfair is "complicated" and subject to league approval, per @Gambo620

The #Suns await league approval on sending Sebastian Telfair to Toronto for Hamed Haddadi & a 2nd-round pick (lowest of TOR & SAC in 2014).

He looks like a typical douchebag I'd see on any given day walking/driving around Los Angeles.

SMH.



.....thanks, Telfair. You were a model citizen here despite my concerns. I can appreciate that. See ya around, dude.

Supposedly he's one of the nicest guys in the league. Read that a few times on twitter.

"He sucks but...he's a great guy!"

Dude is large...I'll give him that much. If we need to send a bruiser in there to cause some chaos or give some hard fouls, we have our man.

[GrantHill]

Haddadi is the worst pick&roll defender in the history of this league. Still like him on our team, though.

[schnakenpopanz]

it is ok, frees time for marshall and he will waive the towel like zeller did. no big deal.

[GrantHill]

Gambo

Suns will waive Haddadi

[rsavaj]

Gambo backtracked. Said we'd keep him for a few games.

[Kerrsed]

I really enjoyed Telfairs time here, but he has moved on to better things. Dont feel bad for him, he wanted this trade. He spends every summer playing with Gay/Lowery/Anderson at Impact Basketball in Vegas. Word is they have become a very very tight group and have mucho chemistry together.

Good luck Bassy!
