2017 Trade & Free Agency Ideas & Discussion

If we can add Porzigiz and keep Booker and Chriss... man o man .. one can only dream, right?

RAY RAY DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING???

Disagree, Boston can offer the player the Knicks supposedly want in Jackson.
They also have good players to offer, the BKN 18 pick as well as many other picks.

I have yet to hear Phil say he wanted Jackson. He said a top 4 pick, we have it. He wants Tatum or Jackson obviously. Why say Jackson and let Boston hold all of the cards?

If KP is getting traded, he is ours. We are in a difference conference and have what ever they need.

I dont share your confidence, but i hope your right

If we are being sensible... I know everyone has the Suns' fan doubt (deservedly so), but this is easy if Phil isn't full of crap.

Cap Projection just dropped 3 million too, even less room for Boston to work with next season than expected. KP to Phoenix please!

Thats Silvers version of "Basketball Reasons".

hmm that doesnt sound as promising to me

Sounds even more promising to me.

We all have been led to believe that its Jackson he is after, and Boston could guarantee Jackson with the 3rd pick, but if he is saying a top 5 pick, maybe he is just like a lot of the GM's in thinking that the Jackson/Tatum/Isaac/Fox tier is too close to call and would be fine with any of them.

What you guys think about the Suns attempting to trade Bledsoe?

I guess you're right. Doesnt really change anything.

Philly will draft Fultz. They have Joel. Dont need Porzingis.

LA could actually use him but they DO NOT want to take on Noah and for some reason like Lavar's son.

Boston is still lurking. They could use him but lack cap space if they want a max guy and to resign IT eventually.

PHX - best option

Sacramento...i mean i feel like that franchise couldnt do something right even with a stroke of luck

thanks for the update. i think that is best though. i'd rather us keep our secrets to ourselves

We're in a unique position compared to everyone that wants KP: We have the cap space and are willing to take on Noah's horrible contract. Boston has all the assets in the world, but they can't waste cap space after making the ECF last year, and the Knicks have to clear out terrible contracts if they want any flexibility in the future. Offer something along the lines of #4 + Bledsoe + TJ for KP + Noah with room to negotiate. They get JJ, a really good PG in Bledsoe, and a versatile forward in TJ all while losing Noah's mistake of a contract; we add a young star in Porzingis that fits our team like a glove.

If they get JJ, then I don't think they need Warren anyway. I would offer them Bledsoe, 4, Miami pick next year, our pick in 2019 top 5 protected, and then take back Noah. (For those wondering why I wouldn't offer Knight, Chandler, Dudley, etc...it's because they wouldn't want them). I don't now if that's enough though since it's too much into the future. KP is one of the few players I would personally possibly throw Bender in for, but I don't know if he has a ton of trade value, so I'd try to leave him out. But Bledsoe and three first rounders (one being 4 in a stacked draft) while taking on a bad contract should be enough.

Your offer leaves a hole at 3. If we have Porzingis, Bender, Chriss, and a bunch of bigs, we don't really need many more picks except maybe our own next year..we would probably have to take Brooks (who can play the point) or Jawun Evans at 32 if there though.

Bledsoe/#4/Miami pick (lower)

Yup. And in that scenario, you get a shot in 2 years, when both Booker and Zingis are in their last years before RFA, to max out possibly 2 free agents (Chandler, Dudley come off the books, Barbosa the year earlier, potentially Len and Williams cleared also), then go over the cap with your bird rights to match both. That allows you to fill any remaining holes in the roster, which you should know by 2 years from now because you will see how the youngsters who remain develop.

I mean, he's cool and all but if we could give him instead of Chriss and run with a Porzingis/Chriss front line??? mmmm

If Bledsoe is really being shopped watch for Rich Paul to step in.
