Would hang onto IT, Plum, and the rest. Good back ups just in case. But who knows.

LOL at Goodwin's response. Buck up Arch.

McDo liking these NC boys....

PJ born Raliegh NC,
TJ born Raliegh / NCSt,
RBull born NC / Tar Heel,
Plum high school in NC / Dukey,
BWright Tar Heel

PS.... Randolf from Raliegh too

Not sure who in the Eastern Conference would want Green for even a second round pick. I agree ... keep IT. I would seriously consider bring Earl Barron up from D-league as better insurance than Plumlee. He put up 30 pts and 23 rebounds in the D-league showcase tournament today.

Yeah probably did, but Green was putting in some huge scoring numbers last year and Plumlee was averaging close to a double/double.

Those kind of players are valuable. That production has dropped big time this season.

Still, Plumlee shouldn't be too hard to trade as athletic bigs are valuable and hard to come by.

What's going on here guys? Who the hell is Reggie Bullock? Never heard of him before personally but doing research online looks like a former 1st rd pick prospect with some potential?

Is he a 3 & D type guy or what?

RunDogGun · Post #925 » by **RunDogGun** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 11:05 pm

Another good trade by McD. Dude just smells blood and pounces. Also he changed the average age of our team. :wink:

Bullock shooting 38%+ this season from three.

I know this isn't the direction this discussion is going, but one asset the Magic have that I'd love to snag is the Lakers' first round pick two years after we get their pick, so probably 2017 or 2018. Obviously I'm not talking Dragic here but if the Magic think they can be a playoff team and are willing to give up future first-rounders for some of our unneeded depth, I'd be interested. Then later, when we are a solid playoff team looking to add one final piece, or to keep the young talent flowing in, that sort of asset will be really nice to have. They have all their own draft picks to work with too.

Green and plumlee were throw ins for scola. So I'm good with anything they get for them.

jcsunsfan · Post #928 » by **jcsunsfan** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 11:15 pm

I think McD is just increasing the overall talent level of the team. Bullock >Shavlik. Neither player is in the regular rotation. Bullock will get some minutes here and there and maybe he will show something.

It's kind of like trading one lottery ticket for two.

Potential 3-D guy, a skinnier Tucker but with hops... so potentially a smarter combo of Tucker and Green!

Lol I sure hope Bullock isn't expecting to get much or any playing time in PHX.

I can't imagine him getting more playing time with us than he did with LAC because we have Tucker, Marcus, Warren all ahead of him at SF and then Dragic, Green and Goodwin all ahead of him at SG.

Im sick with the flu (been so for the past 4 days), and i cant tell you guys the excitement i had when i misread that we traded Randolph for Reggie Jackson. I jumped for joy (then coughed my ass off). Took me a good 5 minutes before i realized it was Bullock and not Jackson.

With that being said, still its a great move that seems to be a precursor to another trade. We were already thin with the bigs and we just got thinner. This now leaves us with just 2 PF's and 2 C's.

I remember Bullock in college. To me he seemed like a Bledsoe type player in a SF body. Great defender and decent on offense (PJ Tucker-like). Actually, the more i think about it, he seems to be just like a younger version of Tucker.

Its another steal for us. Now the question is "What is our next move?".

What the ??? so I see a quote from our trade fairy.... then went back 7 or so pages.... and see the hub bub trade block party. Let it rip McDo... PULL THE PLUG hahahaha.... wait a minute.... Dragic ??? What the ???

Yeah, I saw some of his Draftexpress scouting vids like last year and he isnt your fancy, fade away smooth as silk scorer type... he is a skinnier more athletic Tucker... a year buffing up and he could be as thick as Tucker.

The Suns are set keeping Wright/Len, Tucker, and Bledsoe.

They are not tied to Warren/Ennis/etc for the right deal.

We've put calls into Chicago, Houston, and Orlando I heard of.

Don't know anything else. And I won't know as much this year as in years' previous. The Suns are controlling what gets out at this juncture.

Kinda surprising that both Morris twins are on the block.

I can see why Marcus is on the block but Kieff is an ideal 6th man type big man. He can play the Lamar Odom role for us.

thamadkant · Post #935 » by **thamadkant** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 11:31 pm

If Morris twins can push the package and help the Suns land a legit Star player, why not eh?

I think there's just certain guys who are playing for themselves and not the team. Coaching hasn't been as good as last year either in terms of knowing when to sub someone out and when to leave them in etc.

Kings want to trade Stauskas?

Get him. For the love of God, get him. We *NEED* a 3pt gunner and Stauskas could be a reliable one.

The article says they want frontcourt help. Well, maybe it can be a three-team deal.

Post #938 » by **lilfishi22** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 11:37 pm

Doesn't seem like much of a move in terms of helping the team since Bullock is still going to be playing behind Mook, Tucker and Green. I am a little concerned about losing Shav because it means it's one less big man Len will be practising with. Shav has been a pro, played hard in minutes he got and I think he's been a good guy to have in the locker room.

Bullock looks like a decent player who can definitely help a team with his defense, I just don't think he's going to get much playing time unless we moved Mook.

Dr Manute · Post #939 » by **Dr Manute** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 11:40 pm

I'm very excited about the moves we've been making.

We're getting younger, smarter, and better defensively.

My guess is that Green will not be on the team next year and if we can get anything for him we will.

IT and Plumlee are both on reasonable contracts - so we could trade them or not.

I would like to see us develop our youth rather than trade them (Warren, Goodwin, Ennis).

I think Goran will be offered a 14M+ contract this summer - so we will have to make a decision - I don't think there will be a home team discount.

Do we? Really? Isn't that Green, Marcus, IT and Bullock all are?

Stauskas would be stuck behind a plethora of guards. If he couldn't beat out McLemore, I doubt he can beat out Dragic, Goodwin or Green.

And even if we wanted him, we wouldn't need a 3 team trade. We have Plumlee to trade whose minutes will now be all taken by Wright.
