Kind of hard to believe. Maybe its wishful thinking and maybe its just we were willing to part with either of them for the #1 pick, which would be OK.

Also, Portland is said to be hot after Marion. They have too many PF's with Randolf and Alderidge and Oden on the way to play center. They need a qualify SF.

I don't see how they could offer us cap relief.

Portland would have to give up something good for Marion for the Suns to pull the trigger. I know they want to save money, but they also don't just want to ship him off for nothing.

I'd consider the Sheed/Prince for Marion however.

The most logical trade out there is a three way trade between Phx, Portland, and Chicago.

Something like Marion to Portland, Randolph to Chicago, and something like a re-signed PJ Brown + Ty Thomas + Thabo to Phx.

I am ALL OVER that trade!!!!!

I would love Hafey's trade, and it actually makes sense (at least for the Suns and Blazers). I guess the question is would Chicago give up two young prospects for Randolph?

A better question would be to ask if CHI would give up two young prospects for a frontcourt of Deng-Randolph-Wallace. I think the answer would be a resounding "Yes!". BTW, I would not be opposed to including #24 and #29 to make that trade happen. It looks that damned good to me!!!

Divide Et Impera

Oh, and just to brag on myself a bit, I wanted the Suns to trade Marion for s&t Tyson Chicken and their #1 last year (Thomas). I got booed off the board, but could you imagine having a frontline of Thomas-Stoudemire-Chandler?!?!?!

Holy crap!

I wish I could get Khrypa thrown in the deal as well... being greedy.

The whole thing is based on Chris Sheridan go figure.

There was one little comment about Amare being available. It's crap. The media here would probably find out about that first.

I guess trading is Amare and Marion is "tweaking" for hoopsworld...

Didn't Kerr say he will only tweak the roster and not overhaul it? Sometimes these rumors go way overboard...

I feel we need Amare, but everyone else should be touchable.

Trade 1 - Trade Diaw, Thomas, Banks for Jermaine O' Neal.

Trade 2 - Trade Marion for for CHA's 1st rounder & Raymond Felton and a player for cap purposes if necessary.

We lose Marion, Diaw, Thomas, Banks

We get O'Neal, Felton

Draft:
SF Corey Brewer
SG Daquan Cook
C Sean Williams
PF Nick Fazeckas or PG Jared Jordan

Well, there's also a blurb on ESPN with Chris Sheridan about Marion to Detroit for Rashweed and Prince. Sheridan said that the Pistons would be willing to do something like that but it would be Amare for Rashweed and Hamilton. Got me thinking about all the rumors going around.

What about something like this:

Pistons get: (out: $22,290,000 in: $17,148,000)
Amare $13,260,000
Banks $3,888,000
#24 pick via Suns
#37 pick via Blazers

Blazers get: (out: $14,550,733 in: $16,440,000)
Marion $16,440,000

Bulls get: (out: $11,481,758 in: $14,550,733)
Randolph $13,333,333
Jack $1,217,400
#29 pick via Suns

Suns get: (out: $36,492,000 in: $33,771,758)
Rashweed $12,540,000
Hamilton $9,750,000
Duhon $3,248,000
Thabo $1,805,160
Kryhapa $1,928,598
PJ Brown (S&T) $4,500,000
#9 pick in 2007 via Bulls

Suns:
Nash
Hamilton
Bell
Rashweed
Brown

Bench: Barbosa, Bell, Diaw, Thabo, Duhon, Kryhapa, #9 pick (Thornton, Noah, Hawes, Young)

Or then do a follow-up trade with Memphis....Diaw, Bell, #9 and Atlanta 08 pick to LA for Kobe and Turiaff (S&T) or to Minny for KG

That would give the Suns a look like this:
Nash
Hamilton
Kobe
Rashweed
Turiaff

Bench: Barbosa, Thabo, Duhon, Kryhapa, Brown

or:
Nash
Hamilton
KG
Rashweed
Brown

Bench: Barbosa, Thabo, Duhon, Kryhapa
