Hearing the third team in potential Trevor Ariza Lakers/Suns deal would be the Philadelphia 76ers. Currently being discussed per source: LA giving up KCP & a 1st round pick, Phoenix Suns giving up Trevor Ariza, & the Philadelphia 76ers giving up Markelle Fultz, Shake Milton.

Plenty of high-ranking executives here to possibly scout Ariza:
• 76ers: Marc Eversley - VP Player Personnel
• Hornets: Buzz Petersen - Assistant GM
• Spurs: Brian Wright - Assistant GM (plus another scout)
• Nets (possible facilitator for PG): Trajan Langdon - Assistant GM

That's good news. Hopefully something happens sooner than later. Can't do anything until Saturday though.

Hard to believe Ariza is so highly wanted. Maybe we send Anderson in an Ariza jersey?

Suns would be giving up the pick not LA.

Why in God's name would we be giving up a pick just to unload Ariza???

To get Fultz.

 

[devilalum]

To get Fultz.

And because we're the Suns.

Everything I've seen indicates the Suns want a point guard and draft compensation. If a good point guard is out there to be had, however, I'd be fine giving up a second round pick and even the Bucks' pick, BUT not for Fultz.

A PG and draft compensation for Ariza?

Not a chance. The Sixers are desperate to unload Fultz. The Suns are the last team that should be giving up a pick in this deal.

 

[SirStefan32]

Wrong thread.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Ariza for Fultz and Shake is not a bad deal. But that still doesn’t work salary wise.

Idk according to the basketball media on ESPN Trevor Ariza is the most important player in the history of the NBA.

 

[taz02]

he is important because he is a proven veteran on a desperate team. Its as much about the suns as it is Ariza...Other GM's are like Buzzards circling a wounded animal.

Its more than that. There is a LOT of clamoring to get Ariza. He is a part that a lot of teams seem to want. Something good for the Suns for once.

The suns should come out winners on having a trade chip like Ariza...BUT this is the Suns management we're talking about so...it could go either way. Would be a good start if Jones did something positive for this franchise.

Its time for LeBron to do James Jones a solid.

I’ve seen the Fultz rumor and I’m not a fan because I don’t like the idea of trading away Melton before we really get to see what he has.

I hope for Melton to become a good player for us so that it can soften the blow of missing on Chriss so badly.

Just for clarification--aren't we talking about Shake MILTON being part of the trade and NOT DeAnthony MELTON?

That's my understanding as well.

That is who the OP's post said.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Yes. From what I've read the Lakers send KCP and a first round pick to Philadelphia, Philadelphia sends Milton to LA and Fultz to us and we send Ariza to the Lakers. I don't know if it's anything more than rumor though.

Oh if that’s the case then never mind.
