Gambo and Ash just said that they will talk about the latest news about Vince Carter possibly coming to Phoenix. I've heard NOTHING about this, and I seriously hope they arent thinking of trading away marion.

Turn on 910 if you want to listen.

Maybe for a celebrity golf tournament or something? "Coming to Phoenix" can have a lot of different meanings.

I think it's inconceivable that the Suns would trade for him.

I wish I knew you were right. It's diffcult to read the suns organization these days.

they are going to trade Shawn Marion, Jackson Vroman, Lampe, and Jake Voskuhl for him and field the smallest team since the 40's.

Well, let's put it this way: I wouldn't want Carter on the Suns, and I have no fear that they will try to acquire him.

I'm not sure I would trade Marion for Carter. If I knew Carter was playing 90% as many games over the next 4 years as Shawn Marion I would do it without a doubt and move JJ to SF.

If Carter is healthy he is close to TMac or Kobe and he sells tickets...

How about this?

Phoenix trades: SG Joe Johnson (16.7 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 4.4 apg in 40.6 minutes)
SF Shawn Marion (19.0 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 2.7 apg in 40.7 minutes)
Phoenix receives: PF Chris Bosh (11.5 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 1.0 apg in 33.5 minutes)
SF Vince Carter (22.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 4.8 apg in 38.1 minutes)
Change in team outlook: -1.7 ppg, -1.8 rpg, and -1.3 apg.

Toronto trades: PF Chris Bosh (11.5 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 1.0 apg in 33.5 minutes)
SF Vince Carter (22.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 4.8 apg in 38.1 minutes)
Toronto receives: SG Joe Johnson (16.7 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 4.4 apg in 82 games)
SF Shawn Marion (19.0 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 2.7 apg in 79 games)
Change in team outlook: +1.7 ppg, +1.8 rpg, and +1.3 apg.

TRADE ACCEPTED

Due to Phoenix and Toronto being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. Phoenix and Toronto had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Not a Bosh fan. I wouldn't trade JJ for Bosh. Bosh is less of a center than Amare.

And I know summer league stats don't mean much but Bosh did almost NOTHING in the minutes he played.

TOR never would do this.

I'm sure you are right, but what about throwing in the Chicago pick. I can't decide if that would be too much. I like both Shawn and Joe and so I probably put more value than some on this board in their remaining with the Suns.

I can't believe the Suns would dump a huge number on a guy with bad wheels after finally getting the Penny Albatros off their neck.

Could be, BUT Cater's contract ends in 07-08 and he is only heading into his sixth year (still young). I would think the gamble is not as extreme as Penny when we signed him and began that hell.

Your deal still doesn't make any sense for the Raptors.

TOR already has Alston, Williams, Rose, Murray and Marshall (all with big/large contracts) plus Peterson will demand a new contract too.

Now your deal creates an even bigger logjam while they get rid of their best player and only one legit bigman.

I would love to get Bosh and am 100% sure the Raptors won't trade him. What IS the point of this exercise? :confused:

...How they have NO interest in him.

THANK YOU!

Well, I just love how Gambo says:

"And when we come back we're going to talk about the posibility of Vince Carter coming to Phoenix."

:rolleyes:
