    the suns certainly are not in win now mode so i dont see why they would want to trade for a player in a contract year? only way for us to get value from a terrence trade is if some team such as the clippers believe he would bolster their bench and increase their odds at a deep playoff run this year. hard to see phoenix believing that so 1 year of terrence has basically zero value to them.

    If a trade were happening, it's not the Suns trading FOR somebody. It's they had to make a trade to remove Morris.

    is the market for him really that dry? they 'have' to trade him and were the only team who will make an offer? even if thats true i dont see why 1 year of terrence would sweeten the offer much for them unless they are really prioritizing getting into the playoffs this year only.

    Looks like you are about as bad at math as Jones is at making layups.

    Bobby,

    I don't think I've seen a single one of the _ones jockeys finally admit they were wrong about him becoming something special here. Meanwhile, we knew it 2 years ago.

    I'm on board the Ryan Anderson wagon. He's a good shooter on a team that's falling apart and that is a soft little man that won't create problems in the locker room.

    I also think Jones should be reunited with Davis

    I never seen anybody say Jones was going to be
    a Superstar (someone special ). So dude stop fabricating.

    Not sure why we need a 2nd Strech 4 - DMo hit his stride from outside last season. I'd prefer a 4 off the bench that can defend and hit a mid-range shot or two. And who doesn't have the slooooooowest pump fake in the NBA. I'd be all over Nene/Thad Young.

    Dmo is injury prone. He has never played playoffs for us.

    Not sure why we need a 2nd Strech 4?
    Familiar stupid reason why we did not sign with Josh Smith...

    What was Morey supposed to do, force him to sign a contract at gunpoint?

    And this comes from the same guy who called Capela a pile of poo (literally) the night the rockets drafted him and the same guy who made the statement that he wouldn't even trade DMO for LaMarcus Aldridge. If I'm not mistaken wasn't LMA the rockets #1 free agent target this past offseason. _asketballhollics utter disdain and hate for Jones is legendary in here.

    If he did the Warriors series would've been entirely different.

    I'm willing to admit I am wrong and have given you props about it several times

    I know it. But I don't remember you taking pot shots at me constantly. Some of the ones still taking shots are the ones that hollered about Terrence the most.

    Apparently you're saying you were as wrong about Terrence as you were about Obama.

    Last time I checked the Rox can straight up trade Ariza or Brewer (in a few weeks) for Morris. Why again are we even making this about Jones?

    The trade is about Ariza or Brewer because THAT is how the Rockets trade for Morris. They could very well still trade for Morris and still keep Jones. Or maybe Morris trades DMo instead just to troll Bobbythenotsogreat.

    For the record I could see Jones getting traded in a variety of different ways this year but so could I see almost every other player on the roster as well as bad as this team started the year. Everything doesn't have to be a Jones hate fest.
