Hello DETROIT!
Ok, so here's the deal. I dont speak for the Suns Board at all on this subject, just myself. I feel that we desperately need a C and i think Drummond could be the solution (Sounds crazy right? Yeah, i know!). There has been numerous reports over the past 2 seasons that our FO has wanted Drummond, and even more so in this past offseason. Our main issue is we severely lack rebounding. Chandler is old and at this point is pretty much a mentor to our youngsters and a veteran voice in a very young locker room. Len was supposed to be the C we have been looking for for years, but has pretty much failed to a point where we didnt even offer him a new contract. Big Sauce (Allen Williams) is out for pretty much the season, so we have been stuck using some of our young PF's at C in pre-season (Chriss and Bender), but thats not the role they should be playing and both have been man handled by the opposing teams C's so far in preseason.
We need a C that can rebound first and foremost, play a bit of defense, and fits our timeline. I see Drummond being that Guy.
Now, i know his value is low right now, hence why you probably wouldnt want to trade him right away, but what if the offer was deemed fair (a little bit more than what people think his current value was at)? My original idea revolved around Bledsoe and Chandler (With us maybe also taking Jackson off your hands to help add value), but things get a bit messy, so as i was re-reading through reports over this offseason i saw one that i just might do and figured i would bounce the idea off you guys.
Suns 2018 1st/Bender/Chandler for Drummond straight up. Chandler is what he is and i already provided a bit of insight what his use is to a team. Bender is a young but raw PF with an all around skillset. And you know what you get with the pick, lol.
So would something like that work? If not, any other ideas? I mean Booker/Warren/JJ/Chriss are pretty much off the board, but other pieces could be moved. I also was looking at a possible 3 way with Cleveland where they would end up with Bledsoe/Chandler and send IT/TT to you guys with Drummond coming back to us. Didnt know if that one would make a difference getting back a pretty good young C in TT, but also having to (In his own words) "Back a Brinx Truck up" to resign a all-star in IT? Think it over and let me know, just kinda spitballing ideas.

, Drummond and Bradley are going to have career seasons, the rest of the team is garbage tho (Ish and Tobias are ok).

To Mavs: Drummond, Stanley
To Pistons: Barnes, Noel
Dallas: Gets a young C to pair with Drummond takes a gamble on Stanley
Detroit: Get a quality starting SF, take a look at Noel
Reggie / Ish
Bradley / Kennard - Trash (Galloway)
Barnes / Bullock
Tobias / Leuer - Tolliver - Ellenson
Noel / Boban
The only other FA centers this offseason are Brook Lopez, Greg Monroe, and Alex Len. The market has dried up for centers, Noel turned down 17M a year, im sure we could get him for around 15M-16M
If we decide not to keep Noel we move him at the deadline for a late first or something

You mean pair with DSJ yeah?
I'd want to replace SJ with Henry so Dirk can mentor him
They get 2 guys locked up that compliment DSJ and we get Barnes locked up but would be forced to retain Noel.
Noel - Bobo/Moreland
Tobias - Barnes - Jon/Tolliver
Barnes - SJ - Bullock
AB - Kennard - Galloway
RJ - Ish - Beno
Noel & AB bring the D, Barnes & Tobias bring the O...
If only we'd picked Mitchell to supplant RJ at PG...

Reggie + Boban

Bledsoe + Tyson Chandler
Bledsoe (while oft injured) is better than Reggie and Chandler is a better back up than Boban and a vet that can help Drummond

Why would Phoenix do it?
