Supposedly Suns plans for next year
Just for the record , this was a conversation between my friend who spoke with someone that is on the Suns payroll.. I asked for a name but he was unwilling to do so. So take this for whatever its worth. You don't have to believe me, just though you guys would like to know.
Supposedly, the Suns are not willing to commit financially to a mediocre PF unless its a blockbuster trade like bringing Josh Smith/Lamarcus Aldridge/Jokim Noah to the Suns. The only bargaining chip they have is Jason Richardson and many teams are calling for him. But the deals are mediocre at best. According to my friends source, the Bulls have been calling for JRich but are only offering Dang, young players and draft picks. The Suns asked for Noah but they quickly said no. The Suns don't want to commit to Boozer contract since he's had issues staying healthy in the past and he's not that young. They don't want another Hedo issue in their hands.
In their conversation, he mentioned that the Suns are going to let JRich contract expire and will use his money to get Marc Gasol in the off season. Gasol contract expires after this season which is 3.2 mil. They are willing to offer 10-12 mil a year to bring MGasol to. Phx with most of the salary front loaded. They feel very comfortable with a rotation of Childress and Dudley at the shooting guard. That's way they are very reluctant in including Dudley or Childress in any trade. They are actually not opposed of including RLopez if it brings that star power forward (JSmith/LAldridge/Noah)
Believe it or not, their has been four teams that have contacted the Suns and asked about Hedo. I know, I almost feel off my chair as well. According to him, the Kings where one of them who have contacted the Suns. The Kings feel like Hedo can relieve some pressure of off Tyreke Evans. They don't have a point guard and feel like Hedo can fill the roll with them like he did with the Magic. They have Dalamber(expiring contract) at center, Cousins and Landry(expiring contract) at PF and they would use Hedo as a point small forward. They currently have 43 mil on the books and Hedo would only cost them 7 mil this year since Jason Thompson would be coming our way. I'm not sure how true this is cause I believe the Suns would of made this trade in a heart beat.
Take it for what is worth. You don't have to believe any of this. Just thought I would bring this into light..
Possible 2011 Starting line up:
Steve Nash/Goran Dragic
Jared Dudley/Josh Childress
Hedo??
Channing Frye/Hakim Warrick
Marc Gasol/Robin Lopez
If that's the case with possibilities this year I'd do a 3-way:
Suns get: Dalembert/Thompson/Deng/Gibson
Kings get: Hedo/Lopez/Clark
Bulls get: J-Rich
Suns new line-up:
Nash/Dragic
Chill/Dudley
Hill/Deng
Thompson/Gibson/Warrick
Dalembert/Frye
Bench: Lawal/Siler/Barron
Defense and Rebounding are drastically improved with minor loss in scoring impact.
