[Rumor] : Suns looking at Trading for Paul Per Source.

If a team was willing to trade any combination of players for Paul without Houston attaching picks, you'd be insane not to do that. LOL @ the posters "debating" whether we would accept decent assets in return for Paul. His contract is going to make Ryan Anderson look like a bargain by the time it's all done.

 

Ridding ourselves of Paul's contract seems a miracle.

 

Miracles do happen

 

Well they did pay $17 mil or whatever it was for Ariza. Maybe the are not scared by $40 mil for CP3. Lol

 

CP see ya

 

Paul would anchor the Suns and mentor their young core players really well. IMO, he is a better fit there than here. Serviceable pieces and a lottery pick is more than fair as a return on him. Harden, DM & Paul knows the Paul as an equal time is over —> Just move forward. The Suns can take on a contract like Paul’s because some of their main talent is on rookie scale and want come off it till after Paul retires. Paul has leadership skills and just seems like s natural fit. Paul has value and can help a really bad team get better.

 

I love CP if it’s an option I’d rather keep him as well. But it’s a lot closer for me between him and Gordon.

CP next year I think for sure, but the two years after that I may want Gordon.

Gordon extends our window a few years. With CP it’s closing fast.

 

Suns Open To Trading No. 6 For Veteran Point Guard

Spoiler

http://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/26719722/nba-mock-draft-first-round-movement-latest-intel

'Phoenix's front office has told rival NBA teams it's open to trading this pick if the right veteran guard is available.'

 

we going after Cameron Reddish?.

feel like we could trade cp to suns for #6 then trade #6 and capela to knicks for #3 for rj barrett

if we did that and then signed DJ wed be set

 

If I were Memphis I'd jump on this. Send them Mike Conley for the #6, Tyler Johnson, and TJ Warren. Take Ja Morant at #2 and Culver at #6.

Valanciunas
Jackson
TJ Warren
Culver
Morant

Then they have Valanciunas, Tyler Johnson's and Chandler Parson's contracts coming off the books next year...totaling $61 million!

 

just a reminder this is a rockets thread bro

 

One can only hope

 

Sorry I don't wear Rockets blinders.

 

What if Suns say.

We only take Veteran PGs in the 25-30 yr old range.

 

You love to see it

 

LOL you're not getting a lottery pick for Paul, and ABSOLUTELY not a lottery pick + useful players. That's a pipe dream.

 

Hide and watch

 

$17,000,000 is a gross, gross, horrific exaggeration.

(pause for effect)

It was $15,000,000.

 

Don't worry, I've got extra.

 

And it was for one year.

And they realized their mistake after five months and traded him for a cheap, useful young player in Oubre. Hard to tell if PHX was lucky or brilliant (ok, probably not brilliant) but they used their cap space to get a decent young player. Worked out pretty well for them, actually.

And you think this means they'll do HOU a favor and take $120M off your hands?
