AZ Born and Bred!!!
I'm a HUGE Suns fan and have been for over 25 years. We all know that Sarver sucks a big fat one, and that he made a grave mistake by not replacing or trying to replace Amare with a similar All-Star caliber PF. I wont fault him for not re-signing Amare, cause I agreed with only guaranteeing the first 3 years of the deal too. But trying to replace the post presence that we had and was pivital to the way this team was built with Warrick and then Hedo was ignorant and idiotic. I don't think the deal with Orlando was a bad one in the light that we weren't gonna be able to keep J-Rich here anyways, and we got Gortat, a guy many of us have been wanting here for a while.
With all that said, unless the powers that be have a phenomenal, organization changing trade already lined up for near the trade deadline, then I have come to the realization that Nash and Hill deserve to have a REAL chance at a Championship. At this point, I could care less about the magnitude of the deals we could get in return for them, the Suns need to rebuild almost from scratch. Draft picks, trades with Carter and other pending as well. These are just a few that I'd be willing to take for our beloved leader and MVP at this point.
Atlanta: Bibby/Williams/Jordan Crawford for Nash and Hill (People will ask for Smith, but he'd wouldn't work here without Nash...We get a serviceable and rebounding SF in Williams and an all around young talent in Crawford)
Houston: Yao/Hill/Brooks for Nash/Hill/Warrick/Lopez (We get a big expiring in Yao, especially since he's done career wise, a young PF and a PG that will push the pace every time and we get rid of Warrick and his deal.)
Lakers (as much as I'd hate dealing with them): Bynum/Blake/Caracter for Nash/Hill/Lopez (We get Bynum to put next to Gortat as our version of the twin towers - they'd work better at that than Lopez and Gortat)
OKC: Green/Harden/Maynor/Kristic for Nash/Hill/Lopez/Warrick (we get a decent young PG, a stud SG in Harden and a rebounding/defender in Green)
Portland: Miller/Camby/Babbitt for Nash/Hill/Warrick/Lopez (Miller is a stop gap, get a rebounding fool in Camby and young prospect)
