The Trade/Free Agency Thread: All Eyes Toward The Offseason 2

[NBA Fiend]

I know this is the headline here

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/242340/Suns-Offered-Eric-Bledsoe-Lottery-Pick-To-Jazz-For-Gordon-Hayward

But since this was leaked it appears the Suns are letting the entire leauge know Bledsoe /13 can be had. Apparently McD wants to field offers. As others have said if McD desperately wants to move a guard it would make sense he is drafting a guard with #4. As far as the whole Chriss situation only McD knows. There is pretty much a consensus on the top eight so it would seem at the very least the Suns could move Bledsoe/13 to the Kings for Gay/8 or to the pelicans for 6/player. If Dunn/Heild/Murray are all gone by 8 that would leave one of Chriss/Bender/Brown.

Ugh, no to Gay.

PLS GOD

^That would be incredible.

So much talk about how the Suns are desperate to make the playoffs immediately and not interested doing a full rebuild and willing to trade for a player just to make the playoffs. Isn't Sarver the person that said the problem with millennial culture is their issue being unable to deal with setbacks and wanting instant gratification. If these reports about the Suns willingness to mortgage future assets just to be an 8th seed are accurate (Woj said something like this), then Sarver seems like a total hypocrite.

I'm actually not a fan of Noel but that would be a good trade for us.

Tough to believe that one but I'm sure I speak for most Suns fans when I say I'd do that in a heartbeat.

Dear got just when I was thinking about a nap.

•The Phoenix Suns, with a glut of prime-time guards (Brandon Knight, Eric Bledsoe and Devin Booker) appear to be open to moving Knight or Bledsoe. There is some scuttlebutt Knight could be dealt to Philly for Nerlens Noel.

This is the 'link' he was referring to. I don't know the source so it's unlikely to be reliable but still fun to think about.

Found the link.
Not much, nothing concrete. Just half speculation? I wouldnt read too much into it.

The rumor I posted from the Boston board had Bledsoe going to Philly and Noel going to Phoenix. With Len and 13 going to Boston for smart and young maybe this really is the Contingency plan.

If we did land Noel, what do you guys think we'd do with Len and Chandler?
I imagine it would spell the end for Len (whether it be in the same deal or another one). It would mean we'd be fixing the semi-mistake we made in the draft.
Chandler I'd expect us to keep.

[King4Day]

I also can't believe how infatuated with Dunn the 76ers are.
I sense there will be a 3 team deal with Philly, Boston, and someone else with some major pieces moving.

I'd expect it to be a three way trade where Len gets moved for a pick.

[Mulhollanddrive]

I hope we end up with Jamal Murray and Rudy Gay for the lols.

Keep both Len and Noel and see if they can play together for a season. Then depending on what happens, re-sign both of them when they are restricted free agents or keep the one you like better. I do not think it is necessary to trade Len when he is still on his rookie deal unless he is part of a package for a star player or something.

I dont see how they would work out together. Defensively they'd probly be ok. But on offense it would be even worse than the Noel/Okafor pairing.

[RaisingArizona]

I'd rather get rid of Chandler than Len. Think a team may want him.
