Suns trade out of 21

[arthurracoon]

per Mike Dantoni

Suns trade Brian Grant salary and #21 Rajon Rondo to Boston Celtics for Clevelands first rounder next year

once Carney was taken off the board, Suns wanted to get out of the 1st - as well as Sefalosha and Brewer

 

[Kel Varnsen]

Did they actually trade Grant?

This is hilarious. They traded two guys for nothing!

 

[asudevil83]

christ...this is what i DIDNT want to happen.

what the **** are the suns thinking....they could have had their backup pg here.

i'm pissed as hell.

 

[Azlen]

When you trade, aren't you supposed to get something back?

 

[BOLDIN]

haha funny ****.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

ESPN was saying that BOS would just pay Grant's salary, not actually acquire him.

 

[SirStefan32]

They better pull another trade, a good one, or Imma be pissed!

 

[asudevil83]

When you trade, aren't you supposed to get something back?

yeah, we got it right up the ass back.

Cheap cheap cheap cheap.

Sarver has talked big but so far his mouth has written checks his butt hasn't cashed . . .

I can't stand money pinching basterds, and thats what this franchise is becoming under Sarver.

Marcus Williams on the board, and everyone and their mama knows we need a backup PG for Nash, and the best PG in the draft in most opinions is still on the board and WE SELL THE FRICKING PICK!

WTF WTF WTF!?!?!?

 

[Billy Bob]

it means we're resigning tim thomas

 

[Treesquid PhD]

so if you were one of those who said last season Grant was a sure fire why not???? and now you are pissed the suns traded the picks then you need to shut up.

That doesn't make sense . . . he'd still hit the Suns' salary cap and their luxury tax unless he wasn't on the roster. Doesn't matter who's paying his paycheck.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Unless this means Tim Thomas re-signing, Sarver is going to get destroyed.

 

[SunsTzu]

Pathetic. The worst fears about the ownership coming true.

 

[playstation]

i don't know what to say. i am laughing my ass off right now.

that's another world of cheap!

brian grant is $1.8M over ONE year. is that what marcus williams goes for nowadays?

i can't wait to see the sarver nut-huggers come here and justify this one!

 

[thirty-two]

Wow I was really expecting the Suns to pick Williams.

Don't look for an explanation from me. I'm lost!

This is bizarre.

does he still count against the cap then?

 

[Goldfield]

So they save money on grant & lost a pick's cap space. guess they want to sign TT & extend both Diaw & Barbosa??? lol what ever.

 

[NastyOne]

IS THIS F'ING TRADE EVEN LEGAL?

How can you just sell a pick? We arent sending them any players and they're not sending us anyone back. So how the hell is this legal?

This is money for the #21 pick, HOW CAN STERN ALLOW THIS BS?

 

[Treesquid PhD]

so is it now?

JJ for

Diaw
trade exception
1 pick protected top 3 in 07 and no protection in 08

[AZZenny]

LOL. You guys are funny.

Looks like Bill Bidwill can officially be shed of the cheapest, penny pinching owner in Phoenix sports. Sarver just surpassed him.....

 

[Kel Varnsen]

Got me. The NBA is goofy.
