Wouldn't you like to see Al Jefferson in Suns uniform?


Maybe they would take the Atlanta pick and Piatkowski for him. I would even offer them our first round picks in alternating years for the life of his current contract.

Why would they want to trade away more first round picks? This team is really old and they need to start infusing young talent.

Um.....i'm not even sure where to start with this.

Although I think we should add this proposal to Arwillians signature as potential NBA Live 08 trades that really work!

They wouldn't be trading away all of their picks, just two or three. Jefferson is young talent at the center position that could learn behind Shaq. He could become a dominate player in the Suns style of offense.

You do realize he was the key piece they wanted from Boston in the KG trade right? They are NOT looking to move him.

We have no real use for him anyway, he'd have to come off the bench as long as Shaq is healthy.

Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?

They chose the Boston deal because they wanted Jefferson over Amare. He has that kind of value. Not to mention the Atl pick will be in the mid-late teens (not exactly a pick worth trading a franchise big man for).

I think the Suns should just trade for Chris Paul and Dwight Howard instead honestly.

Even Kevin McHale would laugh at this "proposal"

The Suns wanted to trade Amare for KG straight up. Marion was never an option.
