Morrii + Green = Monroe + KCP ?

Idk about any salary situation so maybe it might be not working.

Looks like LAC fans would be down to give up a 1st for Green.

I still think it will be in Monroe's best interest to veto any trade that doesn't have him going to a legit contender. He needs those Bird Rights, and Detriot is the only team that can have them.

I don't know why some of you guys want to trade Plumlee. He's been pretty good as our backup center, better than at least half the league (backups). I think he gets most of his hate from being a starter.

Pistons do that trade easily..
Drummond with Kieff openning up the paint for him?

Monroe and Len twin towers would amazing...

Monroe has been putting up 25/15 games this season.
Basically Len (Gasol/Chandler), Monroe (7'0 version of Randolph)

I think that would be a good trade if it is accompanied by other trades where we break up the 3pg system, since Len/Monroe would not be good spacing for a guard heavy team.

With us occasionally running a small-ball lineup with Kieff playing C, Plumlee is going to play less and less minutes now that we have Wright getting into the rhythm of things.

Exactly, it's good to have a deep front court. If Plumlee was getting 5mil a year then I'd say we should trade em, but he's still on his rookie deal. I'd also trade em as a throw in for a better player, but I wouldn't deal him just for the sake of getting rid of him.

He really hasn't. Our leads evaporate when he comes to the game because he doesn't protect rim and still has a hard time grabbing passes. One of many examples could be the Cavs game where he only played 3 mins because the Cavs exposed him that bad.

^this I agree with. Plumlee certainly doesn't have negative trade value so yea we don't have to desperately try to get rid of him.

Folks need to really think about they trades they propose. We are sitting with 5 frontcourt players (Kief, Marcus, Plumlee, Len, Wright) and one of them is a tweener. Then there are trades saying send out two of them for one in return. That would make our already thin frontcourt even worse. Please think before making trade suggestions.

Post #953 » by **Qwigglez** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 12:42 am

I would do something like this to get rid of Plumlee, lol.
Suns get-
Ryan Anderson

Pels get-
Gerald Green
Miles Plumlee

This way we add a player who definitely will get rotation minutes, possibly even start.

Bledsoe/Dragic/Tucker/Anderson/Len
IT/Bullock/Marcus/Kieff/Wright

I agree. I wouldn't move him just to move him but as a throw in to sweeten the pot.

A couple points to be made:
1) Ryan McDonough turned Shavlik Randolph, Anthony Tolliver and most likely, 2 second rounders from the Twolves for Wright and Bullock.

-- that is just insanely good. I get that Wright will cost money next year but really, so what. Suns have his Bird Rights

2) Not Traxxes note about who is on the block
-- personally, for me, I don't care if they are all on the block. I don't expect them all traded. But the Suns need to get better. They have a lot of good players but they need one REALLY good player to mix with Bledsoe, Len, Tucker and now Wright. Suns have so many assets to trade with young players on cheap deals and draft picks - I have a feeling, something big good happen

-- the Morris twins have reasonable deals. Markieff has been very good and consistent - but if Ryan McD can get better, not keeping the Morri to not get better. Same with Dragic. If the Lakers want him, Randle and Lin works for me. I doubt it works for them but it works for me.

As to who gets traded. If Green is traded, that's good. IF not, he is expiring. Plumlee is pretty cheap. Thomas is the guy to move. He is $7m of cap space next year. But more than that, he just is a ball stopper. And if he is not shooting well, he is not bringing anything.

Excited about the Bullock and Wright deals. Ryan McD continues to just work it right.

Worth mentioning, Dudley tweeted to Bullock and congratulated him and said "this will be the best thing in your career."

Monroe 35 mins
Len 25 mins
Wright 25 mins
Plumlee 11 mins

Marcus - Tucker - Warren can play 4 also.

sounds like Dudley didnt like something about the Clippers FO/coaching staff more so than pimping Phoenix, although Suns FO treated Dudley well.

Maybe he said that because he raised his value when he was playing in Phoenix.

Anyone else watching this Rockets game? There are a LOT of empty seats...for OKC. Just goes to show a superstar, or two of them, don't necessarily put butts in seats. Apparently winning doesn't either in Houston??
