Kerr: Trade seriously being considered

[mckane]

Dang. Clips must've asked PHX to sweeten the pot and Suns walked away.

[187_Inc]

Dammmmn it. But hey, why would we sign someone D'Antoni might actually play when we can sign another scrub and keep our stupid, under manned rotation.

[HootieRules]

This really sucks. They really think the team we threw out there last night can defend well enough and shoot well enough to get out of the West? And that's assuming everyone stays healthy.

[Arles]

The hope now is we can land a Barry/Anthony Johnson/vet that gets a settlement after the deadline. Man, I don't see how this front office can put so many cards into winning this season (Shaq, Hill, move picks,...) and then fail to grab a guy like Ross for essentially a guy ike Tucker or future 2nd. Now, if LAC wanted the Atlanta pick, I can understand but there has to be someone out there making $1-3 million we could use a TPE on that would help more than Linton.

[Phoenix1977]

The office is completely quiet now, so nothing will be happening on the 'trade' front most likely. Unless it was already submitted to the NBA...it's all over. Now we'll just see who they sign for the last roster spot.

Thanks for the update. This sucks

well the sonics just traded 2 guys and got 4 back

they MUST cut someone, so sign bobby jones or whatever for 10 days and wait for gelabele, petro or brent barry to be cut and go for it

No it was 2 for 3 guys. Yes they do have to cut someone though.

Would've liked to have added Ross or Pietrus, but at the same time, I don't think they are players that would get us over the hump. Ross is a great defender, and hustle guy, but he can be an offensive liability at times. Pietrus is a decent defender, and can score in spurts, but isn't always a reliable scoring option.

LOL, so youre going to judge our defense and 3 point shooting by the first game with shaq?

[Mr. Sun]

Bobby Jones can't be a Ross?

[chrice]

He can change is name to Ross, but defensively there's no comparison.

[shrink]

I absolutely agree with you, though I'd still like us to somehow get Cassell and/or Tim Thomas alongside Q-Ross.

Maybe a bit of good news for you and the suns fans.

ESPN said that since LAC was unable to trade Cassell, there's a 50/50 chance that he'd agree to a buy-out and become a free agent

That's bad news because I think he goes to Boston if he's bought out.

Defensively, absolutely. We knew all along Shaq can't defend the pick and roll. It's pretty clear Amare can't guard Gasol or Odom. This isn't going to change overnight. Our guards went under the screen time after time and LA has way too many good shooters to keep doing that. What am I missing? How can you not be terrified of our defense?

As far as shooting goes, we have 3 guys right now that can space the floor and knock down 3s. 3. On our whole roster. If you're bringing in Shaq, why not surround him with guys that can space the floor and knock down shots? Put it this way, when Boris Diaw is hanging out on the perimeter and shootings 3s, that's a problem. We are still going to be really good offensively. But it may turn out we have to be insanely good because getting stops is going to be a huge issue.

I agree with mkot here - didn't he already state somewhere that he would strongly consider signing with Boston in case he gets bought out? Pretty sure that it got mentioned before.
Anyway, thanks for the news, shrink. Guess we most likely would be one of the teams he would consider in case of a buyout, and who knows, maybe we're lucky that time
