We've got a trade!

Along with Lopez, Suns would send Hakim Warrick to Hornets. Minny would send Wesley Johnson and a 1st round pick to the Suns, sources say.


Not sure which 1st it is, but hey, a former 4th pick and a 1st for Warrick and Lopez? :o

Great deal.

If we actually manage to pull off dumping dumbass and goofball for Wesley Johnson AND a draft pick, that's up there with the best Suns' trades ever. Nice going so far this offseason.

Draft pick is nice for you guys.

As a Wolves fan though I feel sorry that you have to watch Wesley Johnson play.

As a team who has made bad draft choice after bad choice he just may be our worst.

It would be tough to top watching Rolo play. Just remembering him play makes me feel quesy.

At worst, Wes Johnson won't warrant making the rotation, meaning he'll be pretty much on the same level as Warrick and RoLo.

We got rid of 2 garbage players for 1 currently garbage player who still has the potentiel to become usefull, and a draft pick. Got away with murder there.

I wouldn't say Warrick or RoLo are GARBAGE players. RoLo actually is a very serviceable player, but he has been injured and then foul trouble limiting him to basically backup role. But he can defend, he can run the court and he has a mean streak that we lack. Sure he isn't an all-star and he probably is a little overpaid right now; but what competent big man isn't?

Warrick is borderline garbage, but he is a good offensive spark off the bench. If he could either rebound or defend like he wasn't a corpse then he would be a nice player. But he can't which makes him kind of useless. But really what's the difference between him and Barbosa? Both could ONLY score. Neither could defend, rebound or really facilitate anything other than their own shot.
