Why Not Trade Amundson?

[Irish]

If somebody wants to sign Amundson, then a sign and trade gets the Suns more TE. In a fluke situation, they might have an aging PF they would like to replace.

My thought is that the amount Amundson gets could create a TE the Suns could use to sign KT and still keep their existing TE space.

Amundson isn't going to earn anywhere near enough to make it worth while. They may have enough left of their MLE to equal what they'd get in the S&T and I'm pretty sure they have their BAE which is likely more than Amundson would get.

Louis Amundson isn't the type of player that gets a straight sign and trade. I could be wrong, be it would be unprecedented for a player of his stature.

Anthony Morrow got one, so it's certainly possible.

IMO, Anthony Morrow is a notch higher than Amundson when rating the two players. Morrow is a pure shooter, especially at 3 point range, which almost any team would relish. I wish the Suns could have latched onto him somehow.
