BIG Q said:
I haven't read all of the posts in this thread, but I live in Tempe and was listening to the local talker (620 AM, KTAR). They will have Kerr on shortly to discuss the trade. The word is Bell had become a cancer because he did not like TP's new system. They clear him, and Diaw's horrible contract for Richardson, who is owed Diaw money, but for only two years. The Suns say they will now sign a free agent vet PG.

They are also saying that the Suns do want to trade Amare if a good deal comes along if they can not get him signed to an extension. He can opt out after next season like LeBron, Wade, Bosh and the others. They still bring up Portland as a possible destination for Amare, but only because Portland has so much young talent and draft picks. They just really bag on Amare now because he does not defend or rebound. He wants to be the number one option, but only plays offense.

Intersting . . . thanks for the insight.

Do you think the Suns make the playoffs this year? Does the community consider them a bubble team to make the playoffs or more of a solid playoff team with hopes of contending?

Amare doesn't like to defend or rebound . . . does not sound like a Nate guy.

Hold on just a minute... it's not that easy. We've got Blazer fans jumping on the bandwagon faster than we can expand it! And you know it's not easy to build right now given the fact that Keith Brown just went out of business and no one can get any credit to buy building materials.

There is an approval process to go through and you don't have the best reputation. Plus you frequently hang out with Laker fans and that just makes us question your decision making skills. It's like being on parole and hanging out with other felons... not a smart thing to do.

EVERYBODY down here is extremely affraid of Portland. They think that Portland is legit this year just as the Hornets made a big leap last year. The local guys always talk about how scarry Portland will be after the all star break. They also know about RLEC and what can be done with that. Now that the first couple of trades have been made this could be the beginning of many trades with teams positioning for the free agents of 2010.

I think the Suns are still a bubble team. I think Dallas will be a bubble team as well. Houston is fighting injuries as is Utah. It really is to soon to get a feel for where teams will end up. The local guys do mention that Portland is just a Roy injury away from the lotto.

And I do not think that Amare is any where worth what his asking price will be. He is a more athletic Zach Randolph, but Randolph is a far better rebounder. Amare also has a posse and they always talk about his very low bball IQ.

Kerr is on now.
 
Re: OT: PHX/CHA trade

Who's the best player in this trade? Richardson. I love the Diaw of a couple years ago, but he just hasn't played the same well. Bell is good, but he is not nearly the offensive threat that Richardson is.

Nash/Richardson/Barnes/Amare/Shaq is one of, if not the best all around starting lineup in the league. Add Barbosa and Hill off the bench, and they are a solid big man (P.J. Brown? McDyess?) away from turning this season around. Richardson is nothing to sneeze at.

This trade makes no damn sense. And Dudley is a SF not a PF hasoos

No, Larry Brown was trying to play him at SF. Dudley was a PF in college, and he has a PF type of game. Larry Brown might have been playing him at SF, but that, does not make him a SF. Just like how PJ Carlesimo played Kevin Durant at SG until he got fired. That doesn't make Kevin Durant a shooting guard. It makes him a player playing out of position.

Hmmm... that's true, but JRich makes more in two seasons than Diaw does in three.

figuring all the trade pieces and 3/4 season left this year the bobcats are taking on an extra 5 mil or so.

Do you care where he has played his whole fucking career of college and NBA? The dude is too fat to play SF. He is a PF.

Tell me Diane Downs . . . how do you know what being on parole is like. :D

(Am I losing points with you:( . . . I was just wainting to use a Diane Downs reference and you gave me the opportunity . . . I wouldn't dare pick on you)
 
Re: OT: PHX/CHA trade

Actually, he has played SF more than PF in the NBA.

And just because a guy played one position in college doesn't mean that is his NBA position. Pretty different games.
 
Re: OT: PHX/CHA trade

Kerr presser just ended. Key points;

1. The trade was in the works for a couple of weeks but really got traction in the past two days.

2. He said Richardson is a 20 ppg scorer, but also an excellent defender. His words, not mine.

3. It was obvious that Bell was unsure of his place/role on the team.

4. Trade is meant to inject some life into the team as well as the fans. AWA has been very quiet.

5. Diaw's contract did not fit into the Sun's salary structure.

+1, well I hope he never gets fired, but becomes known as part of the Thomas/McHale GM Hall of Shame.

That's it, make him coach the team!
 
Re: OT: PHX/CHA trade

When has JRich ever locked down anybody? If I had a choice of who I would rather guard Brandon in a late-game situation -- Bell or JRich -- it'd be JRich all the way.

I don't have any personal knowledge of being on parole mainly because I'm incarcerated now and typing on the prison computer.

And you WOULD SO dare to pick on me. Everybody knows it and they're all impressed that you really know how to sweet talk to the ladies. :pimp:
 
Re: OT: PHX/CHA trade

Jordan has one of the worst eyes for talent I've ever seen.

Btw, I'd rather have Brandon Wright than either Bell or Diaw. Great trade, MJ.

If they are having a fire sale, Emeka Okafor is exactly what we need in a backup PF.

Yea, I know how to sweet talk the ladies:

"$$$$, $$$$$, $$$$!"

OR

"is that a Blazer floor ticket in my pocket or am I just trying to get you to reach your hand in there?"

Don Juan baby . . . Don Juan

(BTW- could someone help a Blazer poster out, I'm trying to get someone to tell us to get a room . . . maybe if spud hears it from someone besides me, she might just do it)

Okafor is too good to be a backup. And his contract is not a backup contract either.

The only guy I would be interested in is Gerald Wallace

If by "exactly what we need in a backup PF" you mean a $10 million a year player getting 20 minutes a game, then by all means, that's "exactly what we need in a backup PF."

Jordan, Bird, McHale, Thomas . . . these ex NBA superstars turn GM don't seem to work out. Anyone think of one that did?

yes blowing our future cap space and any chance to upgrade SF or PG to pay someone 70 million to sulk on the bench is exactly what this team needs to do.
