Not a terrible idea but I believe Minny would def need to throw in a bit more. WB and Serge are locked up for more than a season and realistically, would either have signed there on their own if given the chance?

As the main cogs though, it's a good idea. Minny probably has to throw in their 13 pick and deing (spelling).

Ibaka would fit in perfectly with Pekovic.

Lol the Kings & Wizards are now apparently going after Kevin Love.

I gotta be honest, a Love, Cousins front court would be super amazing to watch. They would suck in 30 rbs a game!

OT: Is there an unwritten rule that we can't have more than 100 pages for a thread?

Basically once a thread goes over 100 pages, there start to be site performance issues when interacting with the thread like slower loading and sometimes even missing page elements. So it's really just a favor to all of us :D

So Kyrie isn't happy in Cleveland. He fits the mold of a disgruntled star player that we could use assets on to acquire, right?
Resigned Bledsoe for Irving?

Pass. I'll talk Bledsoe's all-around game over a guy who has had so little team success.

Kyrie has balls if he plays out his QO. I'll believe it when I see it though.

I don't think Irving/Waiters can co-exist. Both are alpha scorers but on paper the Cavs look good:

Irving
Waiters
Deng/Ariza/Hayward?
Thompson-Varejao
Embiid

They have roster options and should go with a young coach (Ollie?)

Thunder could trade Westbrook for Irving and Varejao.

Why would they ever do that?

Thunder are not going to trade Westbrook. I guess no one saw the Durant press conference?

Maybe Minnesota should offer Love and Rubio for Irving, Varejao, Thompson and picks.

Why are we throwing around trade ideas for other teams?

Good question. I'm not sure why I did other than because other people had.

Bill Simmons just said Paul George is playing for the wrong team and that he should be playing for Phoenix. He said that style would fit his game.

That would be amazing.

That +/- stat with Rashard Lewis basically summed up how I feel about that stat.

Why would Bledsoe agree to go to Cleveland?

It doesnt matter... Lebron or Durant suits Suns lineup better.... especially Durant....



From logic point of view, why would Pacers trade their franchise player?

They'll rather trade everyone else and rebuild a team that suits PG.

^ wasn't saying it like it's a possibility. Just pointing out that the media recognizing the Suns in a way, which I think it's pretty cool.

I was feeling bored, so I came up with a trade.
Suns get-
Kevin Love
Shabazz Muhammad

Wolves get-
Carlos Boozer
Jimmy Butler
Alex Len
Suns 1st (2016), Lakers 1st (2015), Bulls 1st (2015)

Bulls get-
Goran Dragic
Channing Frye

Suns lose a lot of pieces to acquire Kevin Love, Wolves get some great rebuilding pieces, and Bulls get a great combo with Dragic and Frye.
Suns do this to try and lure Lebron James to Phoenix with Bledsoe and Love. Re-sign Okafor. We'd have a very solid squad.:D
Bledsoe/Green/Lebron/Love/Plumlee
Archie/Shabazz/Marcus/Markieff/Okafor

Why would they want Dragic when they have Rose?
