Suns to trade Marbury, according to KDUS

[Krangodnzr]

It's happening.....Marbury and Hardaway to the Knicks.

For Van Horn, McDyess, and Charlie Ward? That better be a joke if you're a Suns fan.

I hope it is...but it does give cap flexibility.....

This has to be a joke......that's horrible.

 

[Krangodnzr]

nope...it's been confirmed!

Suns trading Marbury, Hardaway to Knicks
From Staff Reports
The Suns confirmed Monday that they will trade guards Stephon Marbury and Penny Hardaway to the New York Knicks.

Suns vice president Bryan Colangelo said the deal should be complete by the end of the day Monday. Colangelo would not say who the Suns will get in return for the Marbury and Hardaway, both former all-stars.

Among those mentioned is former Suns' forward Antonio McDyess, forward Keith Van Horn and guard Charlie Ward.

they must be quite impressed with Barbosa...charlie ward is not a long term answer at point guard...

 

[jbeecham]

NOOOOOOOOOOO! WTF are they thinking?

 

[Krangodnzr]

Horrible trade right now. But this might be a good trade in the future. I will give us a chance to get rid of Hardaway's awful contract, Marbury's awful contract, and get two expiring contracts and a shooter (Van Horn).

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

If Marbury's contract was so horrible, then why the hell did they offer it to him a few months ago? They will clear up cap space, but will Kobe sign here? I'm guessing that's the only reason to dump salary.

April FOOL!

This CAN'T be true. Just can't. This is a RealGM's wet dream.

 

[jbeecham]

This trade makes no sense at all. Are they trying to tank the season a la the Cavs..........there's no Lebron James in the next draft.

It is true. Mike Tulomelo is talking about it right now.

 

[Chaplin]

Can't work. Van Horn and McDyess for Marbury and Hardaway would have to be the trade.

But why would we trade for Dice and Van Horn when we would already still have Marion and Amare?

That's why this trade makes no sense. At all.

 

[jbeecham]

This is crap......you don't trade one of the best PG's in the NBA for cap filler!

 

[jbeecham]

Charlie Ward has a trade kicker, it's possible it's for McDyess, Van Horn & Frank Williams.

looks like the deal is real

The Knicks would acquire Marbury and Penny Hardaway from Phoenix for Antonio McDyess, Howard Eisley, Charlie Ward, the rights to Milos Vujanic and cash, according to the source, who is close to one of the players and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity

The knicks will make the playoffs!

 

[cheng]

at least hardaway is out so many of suns fans got their wish

 

[Chaplin]

Give up Penny, definitely, but not Steph.

 

[Chaplin]

Eisley still has 3 years left on his deal.

This is a horrible trade. You don't trade your franchise player for crap like this!

 

[jbeecham]

I wouldn't trade Marbury for anyone on the Knicks.........this is bullsh*t!

 

[Chaplin]

It's all over the net now.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Yeah, Xtra Sports 910 just reported it...McDyess to us??? WOW....this is nuts.

Mike

That would be definitely the most terrible trade what I have ever seen.
That's worse than the Baker-trade was for BOS.

I will search another team if that's true.

At least NYK's pick would have to be included and Eisley's terrible contract would not.
