Blow-up/Rebuild - PHX/TOR/GS

[DirtyDez]

PHX sends: Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Leandro Barbosa, Earl Clark, Jarron Collins and 2010 2nd Round Pick.
PHX gets: Monta Ellis, Andrea Bargnani, DeMar DeRozan, Brandon Wright, Marco Belinelli and 2010 1st Round Pick.

TOR sends: Andrea Bargnani, DeMar DeRozan, Marco Belinelli and 2010 1st Round Pick.
TOR gets: Steve Nash, Leandro Barbosa, Earl Clark and 2010 2nd Round Pick

GSW sends: Monta Ellis and Brandon Wright.
GSW gets: Amare Stoudemire.

Why we do it: Cut 35+ million from payroll. Suns' management finally realizes that this current team is going no where. Gets some talent before Amare walks and Nash retires even if it means giving up 3 fan favorites.
- Monta Ellis is a top 10 scorer, he's young with a reasonable contract. With the scoring on this team he'll have less pressure to create and limit his turnovers. Can only get better.
- Andrea Bargnani is an offensive PF who can spread the floor and is cheaper than Amare. An Offensive/Defensive combo with him and Lopez down low for many years.
-DeMar DeRozan is the sleeper. Potential star SF, remarkable athlete, young, perfect for this system and cheap.
- Brandon Wright is young, cheap, athletic shot-blocker who can run the floor while serving as a decent back-up PF.
-Marco Belinelli is a sharp-shooter, young, cheap and good LB replacement for back-up SG.

--- 2010 1st Round pick = Potential replacement for J-Rich.

Why TOR does it: Finally get their Canadian Son and Top 5 PG. Instant super-star trio with Nash, Turkaglue and Bosh. Can finally trade Calderon.

Why GS does it: Nellie finally gets his dominant low-post scorer without giving up golden child Randolph and Curry.

PG: Ellis, Dragic
SG: J-Rich(1more year), Belinelli
SF: Hill(1 more year), DeRozan, Dudley
PF: Bargnani, Wright, Lou
C: Lopez, Frye
- 2010' 1st Round pick replacement for J-Rich

Time to get younger and rebuild. Future>Living in the past...

Amare would never re-sign in GS, and if he agreed to a sign-and-trade, would veto GS. As i said before IF he gets moved, it will be either HOU,OKC,CHI, or MIA. Those are the only "contending" teams that have the cash, need, and players to do so.

[MaryvalesFinest]

Man if Kerr could pull that off he should be GM Of the year...

[Kerrsed]

And how does TOR pick up Nash without giving up a PG? Nash/Calderon/Jack/Banks. I agree Nash should play for the Raptors, but this trade would not cut it.

I agree.

They've been trying to trade Calderon's huge contract for a while and could prob get expirings since he's a decent PG. They have to eat Banks' deal but it ends after next year. Colangelo could make it work.

They'd lose 55+ mil with Monta over the next 5 years. Monta makes the same as Nash... Curry, Randolph, Morrow all potential starters are cheap. Beads make 9 mil. They need to lose Maggette plus they have like 6 expirings coming off the books this year including Raja.

EXACTLY! There have been no takers for Calderon. I doubt they could get rid of him, and every team eats Banks deal!

You must be over-looking the "Contender" part. Let me break it down for ya!

GS is NOT a CONTENDER!!!! Amare has already said he would NOT play in GS, so no way they give up pieces for 3 months of Amare.

[eastsidecrossover]

Ugh, no way I want to touch Ellis. That guy has to be one of the stupidest players in the nba. I was just watching as he fouled Lawson on a last second half court shot. Yes, he can score, but he is not going to take a team deep. Hes just dumb. I don’t like this trade at all.

So you're saying Amare would take a pay cut if he went to a contender? THE GUY WANTS TO GET PAID!!!

[Kerrsed]

He wants to get paid AND play for a contender, hence HOU,OKC,CHI,and MIA.

Well this is assuming Kerr has the balls to trade Nash in the first place so...

[DirtyDez]

So you're telling me he wouldn't go to New Jersey if they were the only team to offer him Max?

[Kerrsed]

Nash/Hill to ORL for Nelson/Anderson/Pietrus/Draft pick.

If Kerr has the balls to trade Nash.

No, I dont, and i dont think they would be the only team to offer him the Max.

As i see it, they say we are in talks with Amare, and I think they are trying to work a sign-and-trade (since we can offer the most) and send him to a contender (HOU,MIA,OKC,CHI).

[DirtyDez]

I think Phoenix would riot if we traded Nash. I didn't wanna get banned for bringing it up.

The uneducated Suns fans would.

Keep David Lee (s&t after they land their max players, or not, whatever), Deng, and maybe Tyrus Thomas. Add Chicago's 1st rounder and let's assume they underachieve and get us a lottery pick!...

Dragic
(Evan Turner/Xavier Henry)/J-Rich
Luol Deng/EC
David Lee/Thomas/Lou
Lopez/Collins

Did I mention it saves a ton of money? It saves a ton of money

NY gets D'antoni's child
CHI only cuts 4 mil into their cap space while getting 1 top free agent, leaving them with enough for 1 more max contract (I think)
MIN get's someone to shoot 3's in the triangle offense as there's no way they're landing anybody
