JRich

[sunsfan3]

If we were to trade for a good player or not, JRich is likely to go.
This guy can score in any way and IMO, he's not a bad defender. He fits great with Nash, and pushes the flame and passion with this team.

I understand the situation that we're in with this guy, so unfortunately, if we do remove him, then we'd have a huge gap at his position. No one on our team can pull off his skills (Hedo- cant drive as well and isnt as great of a finisher. same with Duds. And JChill cant shoot).
So if we remove him, we'd have to go after another decent shooting guard with his skillset or a skillset that is at least similar.

I think we should trade him for Josh Smith, then trade Hedo for Kevin Martin or Rip Hamilton.

Nice to have you here, and as a grizzled old vet it's my turn to give you the speech I got , lo these many years ago.
There's a couple of threads already extant that this would have fit in - we try to ride herd on the repetition of themes and topics so the number of threads doesn't get too unwieldy.

That said - if we moved JRich for PF, assuming we could make that deal, we'd move Duds to SG or Hedo and JChill. Or Janning ...
we can['t afford to deal JRich and add a 2 as well - unless there is some super deal we can cut with David Kahne or Isiah has been hired somewhere

and when I say Grizzled vet, I mean it - closing in on 4500 posts

Now if you wanted to turn this into a "what do we do with our wing positions" thread, it might validate a new thread. But the J-Rich for a power forward thread has been made multiple times over in the last few months.

[Mr. Sun]

J-Rich isn't going anywhere.

I expect trade talks with JRich to come up this season but I could see Sarver just letting JRich expire. How can Sarver resist $14m come off the books?

[DRK]

if Atlanta is interested in J-Rich for Smith I would do it. Although that is probably the onl tarde I will be willing to do.

With the new CBA coming, the least riskiest option is to just let J-Rich expire and see what happens from there.

[Kingsforlife]

Would you guys trade Jrich for Pietrus/Gortat/Duhon i was offered that in the gm league thing. I accepted without hestitation when i saw that, though hasnt been finalized.

[Calvin Klein]

Another Wing? What do you do with Duhon?

Nope.

I would love it but there is ZERO chance of that trade going down.

[Kingsforlife]

why exactly?

[DRK]

Two words.

Hedo Turkoglu.

Sunny from the Korean girl group SNSD.

I don't know much about the Kroean National Basketball team, but since it's Korean, I will go for them whenever they play.

Won't happen. You might want to just give up.

[Kingsforlife]

add 1st rounda?

[DRK]

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but your trades are quite ridiculous.

The fact that you failed at proposing a decent trade, and tried to redeem yourself by saying:

add 1st rounda?

shows that

A. You never really thought the first trade through thoroughly
or
B. You're just fishing for replies.

I really do appreciate your efforts to engineer a trade to make the Suns better though.

I can see Sarver delighted to resign JRich for a lot less money and keep him
