When did I claim to be a Suns insider? I am just reading on Yahoo and ESPN with the rest of you.
Amare > Kg right now. Suns are dumb to do this trade.

If nothing happens by tommorow, this thing is dead.
Did anyone else tell you that or did you figure that out on your own?
I wonder what major event in the NBA takes place tomorrow?
BTW, If Atlanta picks Horford and whoever else they think Minnesota would have picked at spot number 11, the effect would be the same.
is that funny?
You are acting like you are the only one who knows that draft day is tomorrow and of course Atlanta's part in the deal involves them trading picks 3 and 11.
So, that strikes me as funny.
I mean I am pretty clueless about this and even I know that since tomorrow is draft day and there would be picks involved in the trade that getting this done by tomorrow is important if it is going to be done at all.
According to Gambo, a local sports talk radio host, the Atlanta deal is totally bogus and will not happen. Gambo has very reliable sources in the Suns organization, so I believe him.
He also said that a Marion-to-Boston deal is very unlikely, as well.
I don't think Kevin Garnett is coming to Phoenix, folks.
oh ok
Supergirl, why would Minnesota be bummed? They get rid of their salary cap albatross from , and end up with the 3, 7, and 11 pick in a ridiculously deep draft year, and they get to add those parts to a young stud in Randy Foye.
They would be young, but they could field a lineup of:
Law
Foye
Davis
Horford
Noah
or similar next year, and have cap relief from KG's stupid contract.
Thanks for the information.
Well I was faked out.
It'd be awesome to see minny pick horford, brewer and noah
Does Noah go at 7 or at 11?
Law is a great player.
Adding Horford and Law and Noah would be a significant boost to the team and make them young.
So, there is some upside although losing an mvp in KG is still losing an mvp Kevin Garnett no matter how it is dressed up.
Would you pick Brewer over Law?
Brewer is versatile, a great defensive player, but I like Law even better.
The continuity, no doubt, would be unbelievable.
In my opinion, this Florida team was one of the very, very best to ever be assembled.
I was thinking:
3 - Horford
7 - Noah
11 - Law
I'm taking a swag at Noah at #7, but Horford and Law would be easy picks at those two slots.
Uhm why wouldn't Minnesota just take Amare. Hes worth more than 3 and 11
i agree with that, brewer probably isn't on the board at 11 anyway. Law and Foye make a good backcourt with Horford and Noah on the front. If only the wolves can dump some of their overpaid scrubs (davis, blount, hudson) they'd have a really good team in 2 to 3 years.
the deal aint gonna happen anyway. get over it.
LOL! You do watch basketball right?
If you get KG the big issue with him which you will see is he is not clutch at all. So you had better give the ball to Nash because KG may want it but he won't make the shot.
KG is fine in the clutch. And as you said, he isn't "the man" on this team. I'd be fine with the way his post season averages have played out for his career, because in the end it will be Nash and not Garnett.
What Xylus said. I didn't here Gambo, but I've heard that the Suns never considered any Minny/Atlanta deal that involved Amare. Way too many issues.
As I said, first, it didn't work as reported.
Minny trades Garnett (22 million
Minny receives Thomas (8 million), Pachulia (4 million), Johnson (3 million)
Um, that's a 7 million dollar difference.
Atlanta trades Pachulia (4 million), Johnson (3 million)
Atlanta receives Amare (12 million)
Yeah, that's a 5 million dollar difference.
Basic math and a internet salary page tells you this cannot work as reported.
Plus, then there's the issue of Phoenix trading both it's centers for a PF, with no center on their roster worth a damn, and no ability to add one.
Then there's the issue the Suns helping Atlanta get better when they want the Hawks to crash and burn since they get their 2008 1st no matter where it lands.
Finally, if the Hawks issue isn't an issue because the Suns are including the pick, then there's the "WTF" for Phoenix fans with the Suns trading Amare, Thomas and a 2008 potential lottery pick for GARNETT? Are you freakin' kidding me?
No... just no...
Sounding less and less likely that you are getting him. According to Bucher the Suns are not pushing this Hawks deal the Wolves are and Marion to the Celtics looks like it is dead. The Lakers should jump back in this at the 11th hour and try to offer them something.
I'm not saying that the trade is happening, but it wasn't hard to make it work. There was supposedly another player involved from Phoenix that would go to Minny to make that part work. And Atlanta can take back more salary than they trade away because they are under the salary cap.Minny trades Garnett (22 million
Minny receives Thomas (8 million), Pachulia (4 million), Johnson (3 million)
Um, that's a 7 million dollar difference.
Atlanta trades Pachulia (4 million), Johnson (3 million)
Atlanta receives Amare (12 million)
Yeah, that's a 5 million dollar difference.
Hmmm....24 year old superstar...vs 31 year old superstar. Yah i'd choose the 24 yr old. Its not like Amare is crap.
BTW..post season averages??? I would love to see Amare vs KG post season stats.
