Blockbuster close to completion: Suns/Minni/ATL (Deal Looks Dead)

This is obviously not as good for the Suns as Marion for KG, but it's still a coup. KG can do everything Amare can plus distribute and play stellar D, and doesn't have microfracture surgery on his knee. I have no idea what Minnesota is doing, I don't think #3, #11, and cap relief are enough for KG

 

holy crap.

 

*******, now they have 2 guys who can make life tough for tmac in marion/kg.

kg is way better than amare in that he can create his own shot and he can play tough D.

oh my, suns are the EASY favorites for next yr. but again, nash wasn't that good w/ dirk. hopefully playing w/ KG takes the ball away from nash => not as effective.

but man on paper

pg - nash
sg - bell
sf - diaw
pf - marion
c - garnett

oh snap, tmac and yao better be working on their game b/c we gonna need their offense

 

this seems more fair. and phoenix may end up being better off with marion over amare.

oh and kg singlehandedly disrupted the rockets offense last year, now phoenix can score and defend all over us. ouch.

we'll see what happens when we get artest though.

 

Don't be so quick to think that Marion is staying. It's obviously best for the team if he does, however salary cap issues could still see him being shipped out.

 

Man, if the Suns take KG, they will certainly bite the bullet and pay luxury tax in order to win a championship. Ship out Marion after getting KG!? What's the point?

 

So Minny would have picks #3, #7 (their own), and #11 in the draft?

Not that it makes up for KG but....they can get a pretty nice haul there with those 3 picks.

If the Hawks could find a way to get Ridnour from Seattle then the Hawks might become a poor-mans Phoenix. Johnson, Amare, Ridnour, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams etc.

 

what about the Hawks, they get Amare who along with Josh Smith and Childress form the best dunking team in the league. JJ/Amare/J-Smoove is not a bad core

 

I look forward to seeing what Amare Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and Josh Childress can do together in the Eastern Conference.

 

Every team wins in this situation

 

u have to take thel uxury cap. kg does EVERYTHING better than stat and is actually a franchise player. now they can afford to play nash less mins b/c kg can create himself.

if u want to win, pay the luxury tax. phoenix is obviously desperate b/c besides these proposals, they're looking to move up in the draft and all of these things.

yet we're here not having any big deals

 

if only would tey get a #1/2 pick. those picks won't get a franchise player, but they'll be decent in the future.

 

Can the Rockets trade Head for Josh Smith? The Hawks get too many forwards.

 

Looks like we may find out how good Amare is without Mr. Nash . . .

 

Not a chance. The Hawks would move Sheldon Williams or Marvin Williams before they would move Josh Smith.

 

With no Amare, I can actually like Phoenix.

 

We'll get Artest! It's time for Adelman to bring a team of escort ladies to see the Maloof brothers and have a crazy night in Vegas so the Maloofs will sign off the Artest trade.

 

If the Rockets wanted to pull off a big deal like this, they'd be trading McGrady. Somehow I imagine you wouldn't be happy with your favorite player becoming trade bait.

Be careful what you wish for... because you just might get it.
