Jim Gray reports ...

[D-Dogg]

This KGseason (offseason) has been spectacular.

Seriously though, leading up to this draft, which has some real studs in it, the rumors and demands and pouting have been awesome. Kobe, KG, Gasol, JO, Paul Pierce...some major names being bandied about.

Now we wait...tomorrow I expect to see "no wait, now the Lakers are back in the talks" or "and a surprise team has come up in the KG sweepstakes, XXXXX."

Good times.

Diaw would be great with Bobcats, next to Okafor. So, him for #8 works.

yeah, I'm pretty sure no one wants to take Diaw - a piece of garbage this year (and every other year in the league besides 2006) - at 40/5 for a stud at number 8 at 3mill/year who could end up being even better than Diaw.

all this draft and trade talk has taken my anxiety to another level........its pathetic to that it does that to me but eveyrone on here gets all excited about eveyrthing and it causes me to get excited!!

if we get KG and a top 10 pick we need to have an ASFN celebration party....maybe marion would rent us his house for the night....

I believe it was the same Breaking News story by Jim Gray (repeated) that got this board all hot and bothered a little while ago. By the way Gray was sounding, there could be other pieces added to the basic structure besides
the players whose contract numbers would make this deal work. When all is said and done with this deal I would not be surprised if we are throwing at least one or two 1st round picks into this deal!

Tomorrow we could either see the headline, "Can Suns be the First Team to Win 80?," or "Cubs Fans Feel Sympathy for the Sad Phoenix Faithful," there may be no in between, this is it.

 

[slinslin]

Haha if this goes down I CANT WAIT to email Mark Asher and John Gambo and rub it in that I was right and they were wrong.
They were saying that it would definately be Amare for KG and not Marion and that Amare + KG is impossible salary wise.

When I tried to argue with Asher he kept writing back sarcastic emails "You win", "You are right"... l

if that ain't the truth, I don't know what is!

seeing as I'm wearing my Cardinal's Tear Shirt with the phrase: "I am a loser" on the bottom, I'm going with the Cubby headline.

 

[Treesquid PhD]

well I just sacrificed a goat, hopefully that will seal the deal.

 

[D-Dogg]

Are the Suns going to extend KG too? Isn't that something that is being looked at in the deal?

yeah you don't want another Dice situation. If KG comes here they need to dump Banks and KT if they aren't already in the deal itself.

 

[RingtheBell]

After watching http://youtube.com/watch?v=mgNGTzwc6Vg do you think he would leave?

I know.
Gambo was reporting the Suns didn't that Amare and KG would be good together.
What a tool.This guy knows absolutley nothing about basketball.

 

[JS22]

Gambo just said on the baseball broadcast: KT + pick to Charlotte for cap relief. Does NOT think KG is coming to Phoenix unless it's for Amare.

I can't take this anymore. 2 totally different stories.

 

[HooverDam]

Gambo: KT + Pick to Char. for cap relief. Does NOT think KG is coming to Phoenix.

Was just about to post that. Ill be pissed if the Dbacks move Kurt for nothing, pay the tax you fools! We need him against Duncan. KT, future first rounder for cap relief? Ug.

Luckily, I think Gambo is a bafoon, so he's probably wrong. I think Ill take Jim Greys word over Gambo's myself.

 

[SunsTzu]

Now Gambo just said the Suns will be trading KT and a future 1st to the Bobcats for salary relief. KT's expiring contract would be needed to be included in any KG deal.

Gambo doesn't know crap, Jim Grey is reporting details that he'd only know if he was close to the situation.

Yeah if the Suns lose KT for nothing they're pretty much throwing in the towel.

He said nothing about the Suns telling marion they want to trade him to Boston.
Maybe his sources arent the best!

 

[Brianellsworth]

i dont see any of gambo's quotes getting popped up on espn news as breakin news so im gonna go ahead and take jim grays thoughts over gambo's plus gambos take on things over the past few days has made me think he is a little crazy

 

[slinslin]

WEll... Marion, Barbosa, Banks works under the cap for KG as well..

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

If the KT rumor is true and the Suns again lose in the playoffs thanks to a lack of rebounding and interior defense then Robert Sarver should be run out of town.

And the notion that Minnesota would take Banks' horrific contract after they dumped his sorry ass a whopping one year ago is laughable.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Marion should take this deal and run...and extension, more money, and playing as the #2 on a team where he can be THE MAN...

Boston is a great franchise and he can get a new start, get out of the shadows of Nash and Amare.

 

[Brianellsworth]

He said nothing about the Suns telling marion they want to trade him to Boston.

I am pretty sure jim gray had a reliable source when he said that. that isn't something that they would speculate on and then say it on espn.

 

[Brianellsworth]

im gettin off this computer its controlling my life!!! I cant wait for Thursday (or tomorrow hopefully).
