Trade Deadline Thread

[Mainstreet]

For some reason, I feel like if we really think we're young and the future is bright, there's not much downside to keeping Chandler.

On a good team, he could contribute. His contract is acceptable and he could be a good veteran presence.

So I guess, if you're McD and you're thinking of competing for the playoffs next year, why not keep Tyson?

The Suns may well keep Chandler if the trade offers are not fair. However, I don't think the Suns are thinking playoffs next season unless they do something dramatic.

Brainstorm:

I was wondering if the Suns traded for Derrick Favors (rumor) he could sit out the rest of the season to make sure he is recovered from an unspecified injury. This would allow the Suns not to lose draft position.

I like it, make it happen! I've been saying all year that PF is our biggest need.

Zizic gonna join NBA next year. So I wish we can bring him. Cause he is really good for NBA. Better than Bender IMO

Plus, Favors can probably play some center if the Suns do not keep Len.

I'm thinking the Suns might want Favors but I think a lot depends on the asking price on Favors and Okafor.

Is it Thursday yet? Sick of being on pins and needles...Do something McD!!

Better no trade than a bad one.

Agree. No trades for the sake of trades.

Will say this about #Cavs: Opposing execs have told me Iman Shumpert is clearly available and there is indeed interest around league.

Wolves’ pursuit of Derrick Rose still very strong—“Thibs wants to do this,” says league source w/knowledge—but MIN absolutely keeping Dunn.

MJ and Magic on the phone? Hornets reportedly “aggressively pursuing” trade for Lakers guard Lou Williams (link: http://ble.ac/2m5OR4r) ble.ac/2m5OR4r

Sources: Add the Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans as teams that have expressed interest in trading for Lakers guard Lou Williams.

In today's NBA, center is really all he can play. But I just don't like the idea of bringing in a big man with rumored back and knee problems. I think I'd pass.

I think a lot depends upon the opinion of the Suns medical staff and the asking price.

I wouldn't be surprised to see teams that missed on Lou Williams (NOLA, WAS, CLE, etc.) shift their focus to Darren Collison. He can be had.

Washington has shown interest in Minnesota's Shabazz Muhammad, according to league sources, as the Wiz continue to search for bench upgrades

I was hoping he'd go after Knight who is perfect for his system. But Williams is better and even perfecter than Knight for that system, maybe perfectest!!!

That would be a nice pickup for Washington. He's very inconsistent but they get so little out of their bench and Shabazz is the type of player who can take over for a stretch, without a lot of help around him.

Footnote that probably won't be important: no protections on the Rockets pick heading to Lakers, source says.

I agree Williams is a perfect fit for Houston. This team be trouble with the way defense is called today.

The Lakers are getting worse before the lottery as you predicted.

Yeah, I don't even think we can compete with them by trading Bledsoe. Williams has carried that team especially after that opening stretch.

Yes. I don't think there is any competing with them for the second worse team in the league.

Im hoping Tucker gets dealt...Or Chandler
