2 trades...


K.I.S.S.

Amare STAYS! If we can't get KG without giving up Amare, then enjoy the cold weather, KG. I love ya, but you ain't no Stat!

Now, I'm glad I got this off my chest. The only two moves we need to make are quite simple.

Marion/ATL#1 for Miller/Swift/#4 (credit to cheese on this trade)

-We dump a bit of salary and get a high pick while dropping a Casper malcontent punk.

Thomas/Jones/#24 for Camby

-We could also add our '08#1 since we'd be keeping this year's but I really don't know how enticing that would be.

We then put the full court press on Hill. If we are lucky enough to get him, we look like this:

Nash-Banks-Kopponen
Bell-Barbosa
Miller-Hill
Stoudemire-Diaw
Camby-Swift-Noah

Bottom line is that I'd rather blow this team up than trade Stoudemire or Nash....

I love it. That is the exact trade I made in the Trade fourm Minus the 4th pick from Mem, & our Atlanta pick. I would love to do that but I dont see Memphis doing that.

I also think it would take the Atlanta pick to get Camby. I would be happy with our team depth if we made the Memphis trade even without picks.

The Camby trade would be amazing but I dont see it happening.

I'm liking those trades. Just curious, how does Miller do on defense?

a 100% agree on camby. i asked in another thread where all the rumors have gone, they're probably hidden by kg rumors. i really believe that of all the trades that have come up, i like getting him the best. perfect fit.

the memphis trade also sounds pretty good, but do we have any info confirming that such a trade has been talked about? if so i'd gladly take it, i'm always like miller. swift can also become a great part of our team, though i base that on looking at his body type and stats alone. He seems kind of odom-esque? #4 pick can turn into something great, like maybe a brewer or a horford.

I'd rather just have Camby. Miller is a nice player, but health has always been a concern, as well as his defensive ability. I'd rather take a chance with Marion, and possibly Grant Hill.

Marion has to go. I've been saying it for at least 3 years now. Marion CANNOT be on this team next year!!!!

i can see that side as well. with camby/marion/bell on the floor at once, the suns will surely be a defensive force to be wreckoned with. i mean really, dpoy, most versatile defender in the league, 1st team nba defender, and even kt on the floor at once is possible, i can't imagine why the suns wouldnt be all over getting camby here. im all for keeping marion for one more run, and grant hill is quite an interesting prospect as long as he doesnt decide to head to the motor city

Without getting into players, I think Memphis is the best trading partner. The Suns should work hard on a trade that is fair for both parties.

I wouldn't discount Boston as a trading partner either as they apparently what to move the #5 pick.

If Minnesota wants to come back to Phoenix and offer Garnett for a reasonable deal, I would look at it... but no Amare.

You know, I'd also take Warrick/Cardinal in place of Swift, but Swift fills a need and I do think he is one of a few perennially underachieving players in this league who would blow up in our system. If Swift comes here, he averages 11/10/2 if he got consistent pt. Look at the systems he has played in. He has played for Doug Collins and Jeff Can Gundy. Are you kidding me? The dude is an athlete. He needs to free-wheel, period. You open him up and he'll produce....

Why in the world would Denver make that trade? Don't tell me it's just to unload Marcus Camby's contract. They could do much better than that.

Furthermore, while I absolutely love Marcus Camby's game and think it would be perfect for the Phoenix Suns I would never trade for him at this point. If we'd did I would bet my wife that he would be injured for the playoffs. I really would like to steer clear of players with a history of injuries. He's about as bad as they get in that department.

A lot of teams want Camby, no way this gets it done.

He's the defensive player of the year?!?!?

I'm sure the Nuggets would just love to help out the Phoenix Suns. Good call!

Swift has had his chances. He has failed in every possible type of situation. It's time to pull the plug. You might as well try to resurrect Michael Olowokandi's career.
