5 steps of building a team around Amare and TMac

[slinslin]

1. Trade Shawn Marion, Joe Johnson, #7, Eisley for Tracy McGrady and Drew Gooden.
Suns gain ~2M$ capspace which the #7 would be making
Suns gain ~2.3M$ capspace because Marion, Johnson and Eisley combine for 20M$ while McGrady, Gooden combine for only 17.7M$

2. Trade Drew Gooden to Chicago for Tyson Chandler and Scottie Pippen (1yr left)
Suns lose 7M$ capspace

3. Sign Brent Barry for slightly roughly the MLE
Suns capspace takes 4-5M$ hit

4. Sign Steve Nash for roughly 6-7M$.

5. Re-sign McDyess for the veteran minimum

Total capspace needed 15-17M$. If the cap is at 46M$ the Suns will have 18M$ capspace without their #7 pick.


Chandler/Voshkul/Lampe
Amare/McDyess
TMac/Zarko/Pippen
Barry/Jacobsen
Nash/Barbosa

Or a cheaper version would be to replace Nash with Fisher.

Exciting team. Dallas II. No defence. Ego's clashing. They need JJ!

How many times does it have to be said that Amare and Chandler hate each other since high school? The C's would never get Chandler and risk pissing off Amare.
