Suns Sign Q!!! Kittles to Clippers!!!

[arthurracoon]

per Mike Jureki on AM 1060

he got the call from Mike Tullemelo of the East Valley Trib.


Q will be comming to the Suns.

There is a trade worked out with the Clipps and Nets to send Kittles to LA.

 

[minercon]

I now think that a trade will be in the works for some other player. I am not sure who we will lose...JJ, Marion, Casey, etc...probably a combo of 2 players for one person. We will be a running team with light defense as our big bodies are """"nice guys""""" and in this league nice guys finish last when it comes to sports.

 

[minercon]

HHHmmmm...this gets me thinking. I wonder where Kidd will end up? I am sure that he is kicking himself for not signing with the Spurs when he had the opportunity....maybe Miami.......

 

[Biclops]

let me be the first to say....

" Welcome to Phoenix Q !!!"

Does this mean that the big trade is going to happen soon ? I remember the hitch being whether or not we sign Richardson

Dampier would have been nice too but I must say that THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT OFFSEASON FOR THE SUNS none the less

 

[arthurracoon]

This team is solid EVERYWHERE...EXCEPT the C position. At least Shaq is gone.

Nice to have Q on the team now lets get a trade done for a mid level center.

 

[Quagmire]

We have a couple of months to speculate on the next move. For now, lets just enjoy a great addition to our franchise. This will shut-up all those critics who said we overpaid for Nash.

WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST SUN, Q!

 

[Biclops]

It was reported on ESPN News that Kittle was traded for a 2ND RND PICK !!!????


All I can say is.... WTF

 

[JS22]

Yes!

 

[slinslin]

Told you they wouldn't match.

 

[Espo]

So the question is which suns jersey do you get for the new year? I think i may have to pick up a Q jersey because this will be a break out year for him hopefully. Welcome to the valley Q!

 

[minercon]

Just came on the internet that Q got engaged to Brandy...I wonder if a marriage will ever take place...was she the one tht Kidd and some of his ex-teammates fought over. I get mixed up with all of this Hollywhirl stuff.

Very good move by Colangelo.

Talented player + reasonable contract = valuable asset (at least)

Although, according to Ford he has a 15% trade kicker in his contract. Not that I am thinking already about the breakup of this "core", but that could be a pain later on.

Anyways, I am ecstatic. I would have preferred Damp at the same money, but I didn't think it was likely. Also, Q will be in his prime when this deal is up, while Damp would most likely be done.

The team should sure as hell be exciting next year.

 

[The Commish]

I still wish we had gotten Damps instead.

 

[Djaughe]

So help me out folks is this our roster?

G:
Steve Nash
Joe Johnson
Casey Jacobson
Leandro Barbosa
Howard Eisley

F:
Shawn Marion
Amare Stoudemire
Quentin Richardson
Zarko Cabrakapa
Jackson Vroman

C:
Jake Voskuhl
Macej Lampe

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

Pretty much. I think that Arthur Johnson may make the team, from what what I heard, he played pretty good.

Either way, look for at least 1 or 2 more players to be added. The suns usually keep rosters of 14.

Unless of course there is a trade

 

[carey]

Aye, that's our roster. However, everyone, including me, assumes there will be a trade coming soon. And by soon, I don't mean 2 months from now. Also, I am very happy we got Q. It was a bargain in today's free agent market.

 

[Djaughe]

It was a bargain in today's free agent market.

I think B.C. is doing this ...

WooHoo!

That was Toni Braxton. Brandy was probably in elementary school went that went down in Dallas.

 

[Espo]

Isn't Brandy the one Kobe went to prom with?

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

Wow, the Nets also sent Cash along with Kittles.

So basically, the clippers get to rent Kittles for a year at like 6 million (assuming it was the full 3 mil in cash) and a second rounder.

Not to bad, even for the clips.

 

[George O'Brien]

For a week and a half we heard absolutely nothing about any alternatives to the Clippers matching. But once the Nets decided to dump Kittles to get the trade exemption, I figured there was a fair chance that would be their choice.

I wouldn't mind having Dampier, but it was still a long shot. "A Q in the hand..." (I'd have said Bird, but he's retired... )

Next Deal

I would have preferred ED but now that we have 'Q' according to Brian Colangelo, he is already working on the next deal. I suspect that would HAVE to be an acquisition of a Center either via a trade or an unrestricted signing (ie. Joel Prysbilla, etc.). What do you guys think? I think the next move will happen rather quickly.
