DBdynasty: Any truth to Amare for Sheed & Stuckey

asubennett · Post #1 » by **asubennett** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 3:08 pm

I have an associate at my company that is very close freinds with Michael Curry. He told me last season when it first started that Flip would be let go at the end of the season if they didnt win a championship and Curry would be promoted.

He also told me of the Iverson trade a couple of days before it broke out in the news.

So, now the topic he is sharing with me is their is serious conversations centering around Amare for Sheed and Stuckey. Possible variations being us adding Barbosa and getting back cash and a first rounder.

I find the trade very interesting if we going to best take advantage of Nash and Shaq last two seasons in Phoenix.

Nash / Stuckey
Richardson / Barnes
Hill / Dudley
Sheed / Amundson
Shaq / Lopez

I don't think they'd give up Stuckey for anyone so soon after the Billups trade.

Sheed's deal is off the books after this season...

Yeah, its would be weird if they traded stuckey away after billups. Interesting trade, I would have my finger on the trigger. I don’t know if I would pull it tho. I would like a high draft pick in return to replace Amare as our PF for the future. We just traded diaw away so I think this is not going to happen.

I hope this trade does happen but as you said the conversations are probally just discussions, I can see why both teams would do this trade. If you remember Porter was a personal mentor to Stuckey when he was an assistant with the Pistons and Wallace may be a headcase but Porter could probally get through to him being an assistant with the Pistons before. Not to mention they got Iverson and Hamilton plays the same position so they wouldnt' want to bring a high salary player off the bench and where does that leave Stuckey?

Bring in another old Big....brilliant! So we get even OLDER and have no first rounder for a few years.....wow where do I sign up (sarcasm)

Just thinkin about it makes me nervous.. Sheed can shoot the 3 so it'll open things up for our slasher's. He's definetly and upgrade on defense. He's a thug and unlike other people I do like that... He's not affraid 2 be the bad guy.... But then again he's not a supperstar and he'll be gone after this season.. Which would be gambling with our future... Now how good is stuckey?? I thought he was a 2, is he a pg?? Is he a future allstar?? Idk guys, I like it but at the same time I don't... If it does happen, say what you say about kerr but he has guts of steel

You mean nuts?

Sheed is longer and a better defender where Pau would not have his way with him. But our future has been thrown out the window and if it does not work, I bet nash would ask for a trade this offseason.

I just have a feeling this team will continue to suffer with no identity for years to come. We are on the downside and I am nervous of the future with no youth and no picks. Oh, and how can you forget sarver and kerr as the captains. Sounds gooooooooooood!

I would harm myself if this happened.

Don't think that's a good trade; Stuckey doesn't fit offensively because of his weak perimeter shooting and while Sheed helps cover that some, neither of them are really fit to pick up the slack left by Amare's departure offensively (nor is either terribly efficient by comparison). The Suns lose big-time in DrawF and field goal efficiency... and a single post defender isn't going to do enough to help the team's defense, they need a shot-blocker rather than a post-D guy.

I think there is fire to this smoke. One reason why I say that is Curry came out today to say that it's not Iverson fault for the reason why the Piston are having problems. So for Curry to come out too support Iverson like that it puts up a red flag in my mind. This deal makes a lot of sense for both teams. I said yesterday that the Sun should clear cap space for 2010 and go after Bosh and D-Wade. Next season Wallace is off the books. You already prepared yourself for losing Steve Nash by getting Stuckey. But you also give your team a good chance of winning this and next season. This makes a lot of sense too me.

Willie Beamen · Post #13 » by **Willie Beamen** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 8:40 pm

Also Kerr would get the back-up PG he wants for Nash. Plus Wallace is better defensively and can shoot 3s so that would take double teams away from Shaq. Getting Stuckey and Richardson they get a younger talented back-court for the future. If it doesn't work out they have Stuckey in the fold who can take over for Steve Nash who they can trade to a team on the edge of winning for a 1st round draft pick and a player. I really like this deal for the Suns.

Id want Max too...

Post #15 » by **rsavaj** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 8:53 pm

Still, I don't think we're trading Amare, but we NEED a guy who can play defense on this squad. Anyone.

RICHARDSON+TUCK FO TAYSHAWN PRINCE!

Post #16 » by **Ben** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 10:36 pm

Come on, guys, please don't let this happen. Camp outside Kerr's office, whatever it takes.

The Bulls HAVE to be able to give a better package than that, no?
Hinrich + Tyrus Thomas + Thabo Sefalosha + Gooden + 1st round draft pick
for
Amare + Barbosa?

Stuckey has the most potential, but Tyrus could be a pretty nice fit alongside Nash and Shaq; Gooden can score and is an expiring contract; Hinrich could succeed Nash and is on a declining contract. And the word used to be that you were interested in Thabo, and he's a long defender at the 2 and 3. Plus the draft pick.

Wouldn't that be better? Please? :pray:

Good lord, I hope that John Paxson doesn't let this opportunity slip by and let Amare go to a divisional rival... :cry:

Oh man not Amar'e too, if this happens I would seriously think about not supporting Suns anymore, they would trade away all my favourite Suns players except Nash. Damn you Sarver and Kerr.

A roc 23 · Post #18 » by **A roc 23** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 11:15 pm

They will not trade Stoudemire for a package like that. Rasheed is old and expiring and Stuckey is the most overrated prospect I've seen in a while at the PG spot.

He's a 16/6 combo guard in his prime. At best.

Post #19 » by **roc** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 11:35 pm

IF a trade went down I would hope it is either Rip or Tay and not Stuckey

Sheed/Rip/Bynum for Amare/Barbosa

or

Sheed/Tay/Bynum for Amare/Barbosa/Barnes

Either would make more sense for both teams if a deal got done IMO

Frank Lee · Post #20 » by **Frank Lee** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 11:59 pm

With Sheed the window cracks back open. He has been one of the most complete players through out his career. He can cover ANY big man out there...when he wants to. And gives them all equal fits offensively. You aint gonna hear any moaninggroaning from me on this one. I heard enough from 1 dimensional Stat and his quest to be in the class of the elite. May be there are better deals out there...but if this one gets to the table, we'd atleast better sit up and look at the menu.

Y'all are worried about mortgaging our already mortgaged future ???
