I'd offer a Pavlovic + Tucker for KT and Charlie Bell..
Bell is a veteran who would be the perfect 5th guard on a deep team - good defender, can shoot the three, can play both guard spots. Thomas would solidify our frontline.
Milwaukee drop two guys that may be out of the rotation who would cost them $7.3m in exchange for a young unproven $1m wing, plus a $1.5m buyout. Saves them nearly $5m in salary, plus any tax implications.
The suns would then sit at around $79.5m, less Big Ben's $10m putting us at $69.5m towards the cap and thus right under the tax threshold.
Nash/ Dragic/ Bell
Rich/ Barbosa/ Bell
Hill/ Dudley/ CLarke
Stoudemire/ Frye/ Clarke
Thomas/ Amundson/ Lopez
I think that'd be solid.

Re: Somebody Has WAY TOO MANY Bigs
I don't think the Suns are going to make any moves for big men... I think they're going to stick with Frye starting

I like the idea, but hate Bell's contract and the length of it. I would much rather trade just Pav, and see if there is another player from MIL that could be sent to another team in need that is under the cap. Portland needs a back up pf. Maybe............

This gives us a good center (at least for us) and an instant $1,100,000 savings, gives MIL an instant $4,000,000 savings after waiving Pav. It gives Portland a good back up pf on a small contract, and gives Houston a much needed center and $400,000 savings. Everyone wins!

Big fan of this idea. I liked Elson when he was on the Spurs. He's a mobile big guy and good for a few fouls per.
The Dragic/Elson PNR FTW!

On Steve Nash:

Re: Somebody Has WAY TOO MANY Bigs
Elson has zero offense and was traded for low IQ. Why would we pursue him? He is the same thing as Lopez with less hustle.
