Draft Day Trade Thread

[jlove]

It's amazing that Arthur, Greene, Chalmers, Jordan, CDR are still on the board

Portland is getting to a very deep team.

Bayless/Blake
Fernandez/Sergio
Roy/Webster/Outlaw
Aldridge/Arthur/Diogu/Frye
Oden/Pryzbilla/LaFrentz

James Jones opted out so is a free agent.

They have to have some more deals coming. With the trade and the draft picks so far they have 14 players under contract. They still havea couple 2nd round picks as well.

Suns can get a good player if they get into the early 2nd round

 

[jlove]

Portland supposedly has traded with Houston for Batum. Waiting for confirmation and other players and picks involved. Plus they have Paterri Kopenen supposedly coming over to play PG. Suns had reportedly inquired about him.

Blazers trading Arthur and 2nd rounder for Batum

 

[tobiazz]

If Portland's 2nd round #3 pick is available, grab it and take CDR.

 

[jlove]

This is frickin ridiculous. All these trades, and the Suns not getting anything done. Picks for sale no Suns buying them. Teams trading picks and Suns not trading for them.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Doesn't all it take is cash to get a draft pick?

 

[tobiazz]

Chalmers to Minny. Is that the pick people mentioned the Suns were after?

Mayo heads to Memphis, Love to Minnesota By Chad Ford

The Minnesota Timberwolves aren't holding onto O.J. Mayo for long.
Two league sources told ESPN.com that the Wolves have reached an agreement in principle with the Memphis Grizzlies that will send the draft rights of Mayo, Marko Jaric, Antoine Walker and Greg Buckner to the Grizzlies in return for the draft rights to Kevin Love, Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal and Jason Collins.
The deal is a blockbuster for both teams. ESPN.com reported on Tuesday that the Wolves GM Kevin McHale was infatuated with Love, but felt that the team had to select Mayo and use him to acquire more assets.
In addition to landing Love, the Wolves get a sharp-shooting swingman in Miller who can help carry the scoring load from the perimeter. The deal is also a financial boon for the Timberwolves who get the bad contract of Jaric (three years, $21 million) off the books. Walker and Buckner's contracts are not guaranteed after this season.
The Grizzlies get the superstar they wanted in the backcourt in Mayo. The also rid themselves of Cardinal's bad contract (two years, $13 million). The Grizzlies now have a glut of guards on the team with Mayo, Mike Conley, Kyle Lowry and Javaris Crittendon.

Wow. If the Suns can't buy out Dragic to bring him over this year, maybe the Suns can get a deal of Barbosa for Lowry and Warrick.

When did Barbosa become worthless?

Well, there's post season failures 2 years in a row for starters.
