Bullock looks like a young Tucker to me.
6'7 200 pound (looks heavier) Small forward.

Hmmm... another swing man...

I had to post this from the clippers board. I have tears in my eyes, thats how hard I laughed.

He also just happens to be the coach's son. Doc needs to be fired from his GM post now! He played under Popovich so he should know better than to go Ned Colletti. The discarding of our future for pennies needs to stop now!

Doc Rivers = Worst coach ever to win a Championship ring.

I just hope Sarver is in close contact with Goran. We cannot afford him to let him walk this summer for nothing and I just don't see him as a max player. I think he has to get at least what we gave Bledsoe or he walks. It is going to be an expensive back court. That may be why we went after Bullock. He offers some of the same things, with reportedly better defense that Green does. Green is going to get expensive this off season as well. If we get rid of both Green and Thomas I think we will be a better team at this point.

What is not to like about the move for Bullock?

Will we keep Thomas until a final decision is made on Goran?

Good trade, we switched our last guy on the bench who has no future for a decent wing prospect. I really like Bullock coming out of college. He has a good shot and has shown potential on the other end of the court.

Weird ... now it does. It was saying the Clippers can't bring in more salary than sending out because they are over the cap. How's that work?

CDR is going to Boston too

We still need to deal another player to hit 125% of salary and stay below the hard cap.

Doc is now responsible for dealing 3 1sts in 1 1/2 years.

Bullock (2013 1st), 2015 1st to Boston for Doc and 2017 1st to dump Dudley on Milwaukee.

McDonough is a vastly better executive than Doc Rivers. Great move for you guys. This is also me on Twitter.

who are our biggest threats to sign for Dragic, that actually afford to pay him a contract that we'd think twice on offering ourselves, i'd be okay with paying him around the same as Bledsoe, so who would pay dragic more than that?

Yeah, I feel bad for you guys. Doc is a bad coach! He won a championship with a near All-Star team that were very seasoned veterans so the team practically coached itself. Bottomline he is highly overrated and its starting to show.

Traxx never mentioned that the Great Shav was on the block... this blockbuster is out of left field!!!! Im not a Suns Fan anymore!!! KIDDING...LMFAO This has to be a precursor to deals coming.... IT HAS TO BE! I think the Rockets make a win now move and give us Monti for Dragic. That will lead us to try to move the Morri!

Yeah sure what ever you say.

Dismantle and restructure this team at mid season based on comments from a poster who first posts what he is hearing (from his media sources) and then cannot back away fast enough in his disclaimer. Not going to happen.

LMAO. The direct link you posted said the trade was a success for me. I went to adjust trade and it automatically put in the trade exceptions for each team. I dunno man.

Pretty obvious Phoenix have another trade coming.. I hope it's done soon than later. We play Minn, then Lakers. Two games we can win during trade talks. After, I hope they stand put for that stretch.

I recall a lot of Phoenix 1st round picks (Deng, Ibaka, Rondo) being sold off when the Nash/Marion/Amare were playing. I think D'Antoni was the Coach/GM
