"This hasnt gotten much reaction on the trade board. What do you think? I have a hunch this will be a trade that both sides resist, but IMO it has both short- and long-term benefits for both teams.
The Wolves RealGM board is known for being a step ahead in the rumor mill and inside scoops. Posting some random guy's trade idea here gets people way too excited before they open the thread, and only lets them down once they read it. By posting this youre ripping the scab off a wound that hasnt fully healed, if only by triggering thoughts of leaks and rumors we read there just weeks before.
As for the trade, not going to happen, and im too jaded from previous Twolves trade ideas to not even bother discussing it.
Gosh, and here I was thinking that this was a place where people went to shoot the breeze and share interesting things.
I'm sorry, YJGS, that I've harmed your spirit. And thanks for the stern talking-to you gave me to set me straight.
You're new. Go back a few pages of threads to where we a thread with close to 50 pages on the KG subject and others in the 20s. There is a lot of burnout on the subject.

To bad there isn't an easy solution to being burnt out on a topic, like not reading it or something...
That initial trade he posted is horrible for PHX....Banks, Diaw, Pike for Ricky Davis & Troy Hudson......Sure we save some salary, but we lose the only backup PF on our roster and don't get anything to replace him. Plus I'm still hoping Diaw has a bounce back year and gets back to the most improved player Diaw.

And I said (to myself): "Hell, if you like Diaw so much, we'll just give you Shawn, Diaw, Banks and Pike for KG and call it a day".
I'd be willing to pee down both legs in public for this trade, but it probably wouldn't work cap-wise, would it?
i dont see how this can turn into a "if you like Diaw so much" thread. going from Diaw for an expiring contract to Diaw/Marion for KG is a HUGE stretch and not really worth talking about....especially when the original "rumor" is just some dude's made up idea.
and i think KG to the suns is pretty much over.....and had no real chance of happening. ESPN blew the whole idea out of proportion to boost their Draft ratings. that's it.

I think ESPN did blow it out of proportion, but I think they had help. I get the feeling that the Wolves FO planted a lot of seeds to see if they could get something to grow. I do not believe the "leaks" came from the Suns, though I know a lot people still think they did.
One example of how weird things go was when Kupcake said that he thought they were "close" to a deal sending Kuwame Brown for Shawn Marion. I supsect many of the KG "close" rumors were of the same categy.
