Trade talks & rumors

[JCSunsfan]

Looks like Kevin Love would have been a disappointment had we gotten him. His flaws are being magnified in Cleveland. He obviously needs alot of offensive touches to be effective. His defense is extremely poor. Even his rebounding has suffered.

That seems to be a trend with LeBron James's teammates in general.

I would love to bring Dudley back to PHX. His contract expires after next year too.

Averaging 7 pts and 3 assists on great efficiency off the bench. I'd offer Green and maybe Plumlee for him.

JD is the perfect unselfish type guy we need off the bench.

The Clippers essentially gave up a first round pick to trade him to the Bucks. Nothing against Dudley, but I would want something better in return for Plumlee and/or Green.

Might be time to sell high on the Morrii, after Kief's big game.

Don't think they'll let Lebron go.

Green doesn't have much value he's on an expiring contract. Can't imagine Plumlee is worth much more, other teams take notice of how bad he's been.

Dudley is averaging 1.7 assits.

There is no way that the Suns trade Green for him despite Green's (occasional) selfishness.

Adding Plumlee to this deal is beyond reason.

Occasional? Are you joking? Do you watch the Suns?

 

[hcsilla]

No, you are the only one that watches the Suns which luckily inspires you to make great trade proposals.

I don't think you'll find many or maybe even any Suns fans who agree with you that Green that is only occasionally selfish when almost everyone agrees that he's black hole/ball stopper offensively.

And don't put words in my mouth, I never that trade proposal was great, I could easily understand why someone wouldn't want to do that but to say that Green is unselfish most of the time makes me question if you actually watch games or not,

 

[Hoop Head]

I don't think it's all Green's fault that he's been a black hole this season. I believe Hornacek gave him a green light to be a scorer and nothing but, which has won a few games and hurt the team a lot when he's off. He reminds me of a bigger much more efficient Eddie House. The main problem with Green is he just chucks away on his off nights without being benched or told to pass the ball. Green can be a weapon but his faults are Hornacek's as much as his own.

This is much how I view Green. He will win some games when he is hot. If he is not hitting his shots, Hornacek needs to pull back the reins on his playing time.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Green is actually a half decent passer when he wants to be. I've seen him make some great passes out of pick n rolls for lobs to plumlee and Len.

Whether the problem is his willingness or his mandate from coach is unclear, but it is frustrating knowing he has the ability to be a much more rounded player on offense yet rarely takes advantage of it.

Is sort of response to anyone at all necessary?

Clippers trying to acquire Austin Rivers.. Suns could be 3rd team in trade but Suns want Reggie Bullock.

Missing piece of three-team BOS/LAC/PHX trade comes @shamscharania of @RealGM. Trade to land Austin Rivers w/Clips now poised to go through

 

[Ronin]

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro 3m3 minutes ago

Per @DanWoikeSports. Douglas-Roberts would also go to Boston in the Suns deal to get Bullock and the Clips will trade or waive Farmar.

 

[elindholm]

I know nothing about Bullock, but he has good size and is competent from three-point range, so sure, what the heck. I guess this makes Green even more expendable, but I wonder what it says about Goodwin's future.

Here is the link to the article:

It looks like the Suns want him as a shooter. IMO, more moves likely to come.

 

[Chaplin]

So we basically lose or gain nothing when it comes to money, we replace a seldom-used player in Randolph with Bullock, who is young and full of potential (and still on a rookie deal).

We may be gearing up for a bigger trade, but man, we are putting together some great pieces.

 

[hcsilla]

If Bullock comes, someone has to go. Maybe Randolph, cash to BOS, a 2nd rounder to LAC?

 

[Mainstreet]

I now see Randolph goes to Boston. Still the Suns have too many players to use or develop.

According to Marc Stein, Randolph has been traded to Boston.
Also....

Just spoke to Reggie Bullock, who told me his initial reaction to the trade was "a little surprise."

 

[Chaplin]

Yes, we swapped Shavlik Randolph for Reggie Bullock. No difference in salary, I believe.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

McD is collecting assets for a future big trade which is coming soon. What to do with Ennis, Goodwyn, Zoran, Warren and now Bullock? All could be involved in a blockbuster along with one or two big pieces but for who?
